Meh my British kettle heats a cup of water to boiling in 30 seconds.

Faster than a microwave

Is your microwave powered by a hamster? /s

No, but there are no 3kW domestic microwaves on the market. Yet every kettle is 3kW.

No my point is, as a British person that uses the kettle A LOT we went out and bought one that heats up a single cup at a time, which is quicker than boiling a whole kettle.

I fill it up like a kettle and it has a little chamber underneath that it fills and heats, then the boiling water comes out of a spout into the cup.

After owning this type of kettle for over a decade I don't think I can go back to a conventional kettle.
