electric water kettle (fuck gas stoves and also faster),

Are they not common where you live? I'm in my 30s and have had electric kettles my whole life. I don't have one at the moment though - my espresso machine has instant hot water and that's been sufficient, and much faster.

Also - if you're in the USA and think kettles are fast, you should see kettles in countries with 240v power. People from Australia complain about how slow kettles are in the USA.
