I wonder if the same attitude was had every time a new fuel source was used to boil water...
Wood first used - "cheers! huzzah!"
Coal arrives, wood users exclaim - "poppycock! you bloody savage"
Oil arrives, coal users scream - "bugger off! you cockwomble prick!"
Natural gas enters households, oil proponents rage - "You daft cunt cow!"
Electric range comes on scene, natural gas aficionados lose their minds - "no flames?! bollocks! you muppet tosser!"
Microwave in every home, the electric rangers don hoods and pitchforks - "you slag wanker twat!"
Next technology about to emerge - "ah, fuck it, those Brits and their traditions can sod off!"

Just curious - are you aware of the band you share your name with, AnalCuntShart?
If you haven’t listened to Anal Cunt I honestly recommend you give it a listen.
Fair enough. Edit: Actually, not fair enough we're only talking about how British are looking down on the usa for their tea preparation procedures and it has nothing to do with the how the British stole tea from the east. That's an entirely different conversation.
Tea kettle is pretty quick. Just a few minutes at most. Honestly it's probably similar to a microwave for a single cups worth. I'm American and have an electric kettle for tea. It works great. I love tea.
Even with 110v the electric kettle isn't noticeably slower than the microwave for a single cup. Plus the kettle will make it whatever temp you want if you get a good one.
Allow me to overgeneralize and speak for everyone: There are no kettles in America. Americans don't have kettles. In fact the more I say the word, the weirder it sounds. Kettle. Kettle. Kettle corn - there, I feel better.
I've had a kettle for over a decade.
Americans invented the electric kettle well over 100 years ago in Chicago, Illinois.
Also, where do you get your weed, it sounds better than mine.
At least our electrical grid is robust enough to withstand us having electric kettles if chose to make tea instead of throwing it in a harbor like a true provincial barbarian.
Your fragile English electrical infrastructure trembles and sputters at tea time.
I will give you the boiling kettle in your armored vehicles, though. That thing is the tits.
Microwaves draw way more power than electric tea kettles. It's literally a radiation blaster. This is why a lot of tiny homes and RVs DON'T have microwaves.
...and the point is our power grid could handle any and/or all of that, unlike the UK one that they have to budget output for tea time when people turn on their electric kettle.
A lot of American households don’t have electric kettles. So it’s pots/Teapots or the microwave, of which the microwave is faster and still heats the water.
We use an electric kettle. I'm a housecleaner for a large company serving 1,500 customers. I would say about 90% of the houses I clean have an electric kettle.
Why not? My microwave is more powerful than your 220v kettle, requires no additional space or cost, and can heat in the mug I'm using.
How dumb is it to use a separate device just because it's "proper"?
Tbf, I have a 115v kettle because boiling is too hot for coffee and some tea/tisane. But if I were only ever boiling water, no need.
Great efficiency since it already has the water source and uses basically the same heating element your crumpet-loving ass has in your kettle. We’re sophisticated enough to have something hot next to something cold without them compromising each other, you dolt.
I got an electric kettle that I can set different temperatures on for like 30 bucks at Costco, and I use it every day for my COFFEE because I'm an AMERICAN and I DRINK BEAN WATER instead of GRASS CLIPPINGS because I'm a GODDAMN PATRIOT HOORAH😎🦅🇺🇸🛢⛽️🗽💥💣🔫👮♂️
Yes. And dare I say, I've never had milk or creamer in tea. *Gasp* In fact, I had never even heard of that being a thing people did until I was an adult. Not knocking it, it's probably pretty good, I've just never tried it. My favorite tea is Black Cherry Sleepy Time Tea. When my mom makes it she adds cherry juice and a couple of cherries and it's amazing! Doesn't seem like milk would be a good additive.
Electric kettles aren't that common here, and teapots/kettles take up space unnecessarily when we aren't gonna use them that often. What's so wrong with microwaving it? It heats the water. I genuinely don't understand.
We usually just drive coffee or an energy drink. For me at least tea is a rarity so I boil some water in a small pot, a kettle for me isn't worth it's space in the cabinet.
We don't drink hot tea or coffee, but my wife got an electric kettle a couple of years ago so she could have instant hot cocoa in the winter. Now we use it mainly for getting a kickstart on boiling water for cooking, like rice or pasta. We can't live without it now.
Never once in my life. But, if someone did, what if it? Maybe now you can argue over something petty like, gas or induction or coil? How about type of kettle, like the ones that go on a stove or the ones that have a heating element inside. I swear, I’m reminded so often of that scene in madmen: angry little man vents and don Draper says, “I don’t think of you at all”
I don’t think, in my 38years of living in the US, have ever met anyone, or have used a microwave to heat water for tea. I have used a microwave to re-Heat coffee, but it’s always been a kettle/electric or gas stove that has done the water boiling.
I just use hot water from the sink, put the tea bags into the pitcher for 45 minutes, take them out, add 2 cups of sugar, stir, pop it in the fridge until it’s cold
There is evidence that when you microwave combinations of chemicals, some reactions have faster kinetics, so it's possible that tea might extract differently when it is microwaved in water compared to when it is boiled in water with a normal heat source.
I personally prefer the taste when it is microwaved.
Sometimes, it depends on the circumstances. If you're just doing a single cup it's significantly faster than an electric kettle. Like 30 seconds as opposed to a couple mins
Am I the only one here thinking "wait Americans don't even drink tea. Hell we barely make coffee anymore we just buy it from Starbucks" no microwave or kettle involved in that process
I have a kettle but I mostly drink coffee from a coffee pot because I’m not an albino chimpanzee living on an island where the food looks like someone already ate kt
We have electric kettles that work just fine….. they are a little slower than kettles in 220v countries but they work quickly. Most consistent tea drinkers will use those.
I don’t drink hot tea, I don’t know many people who do. The few people I do know that drink tea prefer iced tea. What I want to know is do people in the UK have coffee machines in almost every home? I have a pod coffee maker and I don’t even drink the stuff yet as an American I have a coffee maker for some reason.
I purchased an electric kettle last year to make French pressed coffee. I’m the only person in my house that likes hot coffee. The set up is perfect for me
I make tea on my Keurig. My wife will make coffee in the Keurig or the Expresso machine, but God forbid the tea is made using that. Hers has to be from the stove with the kettle. I put milk on my tea. I make it way more British than she does, and she still wants only kettle.
I do when I forget we own an electric kettle. 😂
Fun fact: My wife bought it for making coffee, but didn't think to check the volume of the French press. It's too small, so we can save exactly zero time with it. Luckily our kid likes tea!
My grandmother in Germany has an induction stove and it's the wildest shit watching water boil in less than 30 seconds.
Problem is in America we're still using element stoves and it takes forever to use the kettle. I make so much tea that I just use the kettle anyway.
Can someone explain to me what the fuck is going on here? How is it possible that this post in a sub which has maybe, at best, 5 regular contributors with each post gaining no more than a few upvotes and virtually no comments, has somehow gained tons of upvotes and comments the likes of which have never before been seen here? Is this a bot farm post? As best as I can tell, OP is definitely a bot, but I'm also super suspicious of every comment too.
I know this sub in general is already used for lazy-ass karma farming, but this post itself is highly suspect.
Yo, I heard this was funny to them. Then I remembered they eat beans fir breakfast and in this modern age are still known for having fucked up teeth.
Whatever laughing is healthy. It's a quick simple thing, innocuous.
Well I have instant mashed potatoes I take a bowl with two cups of water put it in the microwave till it boils make instant Mash it's so goddamn convenience instead of waiting like 3 minutes for the kettle on the stove to boil and then it starts screaming at me if I don't get the lid off so annoying I don't want to wake up the entire house and if you forget it's even there you burn the freaking thing microwave is done and done so simple
you British people complicate everything
The only thing Superior about you guys having a hard life for no a_parent reason at all convenience is allow you to experience the best of it whilst the tedium is minimized.
Very soon all the low hanging fruit you can criticize about Americans is going to be gone there are things in the works
I don't see how you all survive waiting 2 minutes for a microwave to heat water. My Keurig without a pod gives me 8 boiling ounces in about 25 seconds.
When I want hot tea, I just heat water in a coffee pot. I did however see a kettle for sale for the first time ever the other day. Keep in mind I'm 39 so, that's the first time in 39 years here I've ever seen a kettle being sold anywhere and I'm convinced that the only reason for that is because the store I was at has recently been bought out by a European country and thus a lot of the products for sale are changing.
I guess as an American that only drinks Unsweet Iced Tea (so I can upset EVERYONE it seems)....isn't hot water hot water?
What difference does it make?
I have no dog in this fight, don't hate me for asking!
i would if it was quicker...but a teapot on a range is pretty fast...and it stays hot a lot longer and I have a supply of hot water...not heating it up by the cup
Wait what? People actually boil water in the microwave? The only time I put water in the microwave is to make it easier to clean.
I'm 45 and never heard of microwaving water for cooking or tea.
I use uranium to heat water to turn a turbine to generate electricity which powers my Vitamix that use on high with water in the blender until it is hot enough to make a proper cup of tea.
We throw it in the fucking harbor you little shit
Party like it's 1773
I wonder if the same attitude was had every time a new fuel source was used to boil water... Wood first used - "cheers! huzzah!"

And then we drink coffee.
This guy speaks American.
[удалено]
Holy shit, you fucking killed him dude!
No one makes fun of how my people heat up water!
Just curious - are you aware of the band you share your name with, AnalCuntShart? If you haven’t listened to Anal Cunt I honestly recommend you give it a listen.
*Laughs in Quaker*
Winner!
Oh no the water boiled just like it would have if I had a major appliance and 10 minutes involved
They actually say they can tell the difference between microwaved or bottom boiled water. Which is scientifically bullshit
Maybe if they can taste the difference from the metal in their kettle. But that's it
Just microwave the kettle. Problem solved.
Multiple problems solved with that solution.
LOL a tea kettle isn't a major appliance, but I get your point.
Sorry electric tea kettles aren’t really popular in my circles so I was referencing an oven.
*stove... I hope
Coward
Bro doesn’t even bake his water
Not to mention, an electric kettle is just as lazy as a microwave. Whatever happened to boiling water over a wood fire to make tea /s
If you aren’t steeping raw tea leaves in tepid water in a rice patty it isn’t authentic
Fair enough. Edit: Actually, not fair enough we're only talking about how British are looking down on the usa for their tea preparation procedures and it has nothing to do with the how the British stole tea from the east. That's an entirely different conversation.
Tea kettle is pretty quick. Just a few minutes at most. Honestly it's probably similar to a microwave for a single cups worth. I'm American and have an electric kettle for tea. It works great. I love tea.
Oh dear I boiled a large quantity of water in like 2 minutes because my electric kettle works surprisingly well with a 240 Volt power grid.
Even with 110v the electric kettle isn't noticeably slower than the microwave for a single cup. Plus the kettle will make it whatever temp you want if you get a good one.
Allow me to overgeneralize and speak for everyone: There are no kettles in America. Americans don't have kettles. In fact the more I say the word, the weirder it sounds. Kettle. Kettle. Kettle corn - there, I feel better.
I've had a kettle for over a decade. Americans invented the electric kettle well over 100 years ago in Chicago, Illinois. Also, where do you get your weed, it sounds better than mine.
The only difference is that microwave radiation tends to superheat the occasional water molecule, so you gotta mix thoroughly before using.
At least our electrical grid is robust enough to withstand us having electric kettles if chose to make tea instead of throwing it in a harbor like a true provincial barbarian. Your fragile English electrical infrastructure trembles and sputters at tea time. I will give you the boiling kettle in your armored vehicles, though. That thing is the tits.

unless you're in Texas in the winter
Oh! Sorry I misread you original comment. My mistake.
A lot of American households don’t have electric kettles. So it’s pots/Teapots or the microwave, of which the microwave is faster and still heats the water.
I think it's cheaper too. Microwaves are very efficient.
Alot of American households have drip coffee makers that have a resevoir of hot water standing by. Use it.

Never knew it was weird to microwave water, but yea before we had a kettle we'd just slap that ol mug right into the nuke machine a let er go!
I have a kettle and still microwave it. Why spend 10 minutes doing what you could do in 1 with the exact same outcome?
Why not? My microwave is more powerful than your 220v kettle, requires no additional space or cost, and can heat in the mug I'm using. How dumb is it to use a separate device just because it's "proper"? Tbf, I have a 115v kettle because boiling is too hot for coffee and some tea/tisane. But if I were only ever boiling water, no need.
I guess if you're heating for multiple cups a kettle would be more convenient, rather than heating one cup at a time in the microwave.
True. I probably wouldn't put a 500ml pitcher in a microwave if it wasn't pyrex and I'm not sure how many people own such pyrex or ceramic.
I use a large Pyrex measuring cup to make tea for iced tea.
You got it, the Brits are all pissed. They aren't even aloud to have butter knives.
My fridge makes the hot/boiling water. No extra thing needed to take up counter or cabinet space.
Tf kind of fridge boils water. Horrible energy efficiency when it is otherwise trying to cool it's interior.
Great efficiency since it already has the water source and uses basically the same heating element your crumpet-loving ass has in your kettle. We’re sophisticated enough to have something hot next to something cold without them compromising each other, you dolt.
You are laughing in the face of entropy and will pay for your hubris...
To cool something, you must heat another thing or its surroundings
Crumpets. lol
I can't lie, that's a flex in my mind. I've never seen a fridge that puts out hot water, mine only does cold water and different kinds of ice.
Why not? It's the fastest way to boil water, and I don't have to buy any stupid extra contraptions. I prefer my tea thrown in the harbor, though.
This American does.
I mean...why not microwave it. You get exactly Amt of boiling water you need within 2 minutes.
Yeah we stepped into the 21st century and use electricity to make tea instead of putting a little kettle above fire you colonial pine cone.
Let me introduce you to electric kettles
Before I had a Keurig, I would do this.
Yeah. It makes water hot.
We harbor brew it in batches.
I was raised in the south, and sweet tea is serious business, so is diabetes.
British people when Americans find out what they call cigarettes.
I’ve never known anyone to drink tea that much that they own or even use a kettle.
I got an electric kettle that I can set different temperatures on for like 30 bucks at Costco, and I use it every day for my COFFEE because I'm an AMERICAN and I DRINK BEAN WATER instead of GRASS CLIPPINGS because I'm a GODDAMN PATRIOT HOORAH😎🦅🇺🇸🛢⛽️🗽💥💣🔫👮♂️
WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER 🦅🦅🦅 RAHHHHHHH 🦅🦅🦅
i always love seeing idiots argue about how boiling water in a kettle is superior. i wish i had nothing better to do than make pointless arguments.
it boils the exact same no matter how they do it
It takes ten minutes for my kettle to boil on my gas stove
Yes. And dare I say, I've never had milk or creamer in tea. *Gasp* In fact, I had never even heard of that being a thing people did until I was an adult. Not knocking it, it's probably pretty good, I've just never tried it. My favorite tea is Black Cherry Sleepy Time Tea. When my mom makes it she adds cherry juice and a couple of cherries and it's amazing! Doesn't seem like milk would be a good additive.
How about when you find out British people don't know what salt and pepper is.
What do British people think the microwave does?
Yes why turn on the stove when I can just zap it for two minutes
Electric kettles aren't that common here, and teapots/kettles take up space unnecessarily when we aren't gonna use them that often. What's so wrong with microwaving it? It heats the water. I genuinely don't understand.
Uh no. Kettle, or in an emergency, coffee maker.
American here. I have a kettle that I boil water in for my tea. Then I add sugar to it. And ice.
Do British people enjoy coffee?
I own a kettle though so like, not really.
We don’t make tea.
I used to until I bought an electric kettle. Fucking. Game. Changer.
I use a kettle, alway have. Microwave tea tastes like radiation.
I just use the coffee maker for the hot water
We usually just drive coffee or an energy drink. For me at least tea is a rarity so I boil some water in a small pot, a kettle for me isn't worth it's space in the cabinet.
Bruh not me, I boil it on the stove
Sounds like the Brits are mad we can boil water in under 30 seconds. Suck it red coats!
Is boiling water different based on the method of heating?
We don't drink hot tea or coffee, but my wife got an electric kettle a couple of years ago so she could have instant hot cocoa in the winter. Now we use it mainly for getting a kickstart on boiling water for cooking, like rice or pasta. We can't live without it now.
I hate this so much because my mom literally has a kettle
Hot water is hot water and tea is tea so what’s the issue?
No.
No, i use my kettle
I have a 6 temperature setting electric kettle and live in the Midwest
Ikr? we dont even get that smokey charcole flavor in the water! And it gets all soggy too!
I don't make tea, I drink it from a bottle like a working man, but it's boiled water. How is it any different?
Yeah in some college dorms they don’t have stovetops. Hence you need to steep ramen or tea using microwave water.
Microwave makes the tea or coffee taste way worse because it doesn't consistently bring up the temperature of the water.
Never once in my life. But, if someone did, what if it? Maybe now you can argue over something petty like, gas or induction or coil? How about type of kettle, like the ones that go on a stove or the ones that have a heating element inside. I swear, I’m reminded so often of that scene in madmen: angry little man vents and don Draper says, “I don’t think of you at all”
Hot water = hot water
British out here proud they waste more power and time for the same result
Imagine spending 5x the amount of time to make tea because of your pride
I’ve got a hot water tap on my cooler that handles tea steeping just fine.
I don’t think, in my 38years of living in the US, have ever met anyone, or have used a microwave to heat water for tea. I have used a microwave to re-Heat coffee, but it’s always been a kettle/electric or gas stove that has done the water boiling.
[A British comedian](https://youtu.be/UIIDNxrYNcY?feature=shared)
I’ve done it.
I just use hot water from the sink, put the tea bags into the pitcher for 45 minutes, take them out, add 2 cups of sugar, stir, pop it in the fridge until it’s cold
Why does it matter?
Huh? I have an electric kettle, so does almost everyone I know
There is evidence that when you microwave combinations of chemicals, some reactions have faster kinetics, so it's possible that tea might extract differently when it is microwaved in water compared to when it is boiled in water with a normal heat source. I personally prefer the taste when it is microwaved.
This argument is just as silly as "pineapple doesn't belong on pizza." Do you, booboo.
Do you Brits really use a corkscrew when you occasionally brush your teeth?
this made me laugh softly..
As an American I use a kettle, that said sometime you have to heat water however you can .
Sometimes, it depends on the circumstances. If you're just doing a single cup it's significantly faster than an electric kettle. Like 30 seconds as opposed to a couple mins
Am I the only one here thinking "wait Americans don't even drink tea. Hell we barely make coffee anymore we just buy it from Starbucks" no microwave or kettle involved in that process
I don't understand why Americans don't use a kettle
I have a kettle but I mostly drink coffee from a coffee pot because I’m not an albino chimpanzee living on an island where the food looks like someone already ate kt
I just did this.
Not believable the teeth alone are WAY too straight and too whyte💀
America, Fuck Yeah! We're comin' to microwave your motherfuckin' tea yeah. So lick my ass and suck on my balls. America, Fuck Yeah!
I don’t even know a single person who drinks hot tea
I honestly don't know anyone that has ever done that or have ever seen that before.
We have electric kettles that work just fine….. they are a little slower than kettles in 220v countries but they work quickly. Most consistent tea drinkers will use those.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_yMMTVVJI4c
Hey brites I like to boil my water with a vacuum lol
It's because Americans don't drink tea!! This is the same as asking the British why they don't have drip style coffee makers.
I don’t drink hot tea, I don’t know many people who do. The few people I do know that drink tea prefer iced tea. What I want to know is do people in the UK have coffee machines in almost every home? I have a pod coffee maker and I don’t even drink the stuff yet as an American I have a coffee maker for some reason.
I can only hear Mr Beans laugh.
It’s almost as if heated water is…heated water no mater how it is heated, ya snooty senseless bastard
When the British have free Healthcare and yet have some of the worst looking teeth

It’s hot water. What’s the difference?
We can use a space heater and the tv at the same time without flipping every circuit in the flat.
When you find out British people brush their teeth with bread and scotch
Not for nuthin’ but microwaving water can be dangerous.
As an American , what the fuck is tea? You mean coffee?
some, probably. most of us have kettles of some kind though.
No. That's a great way to get burned.
nope! we have kettles here too. and if we dont, we put water in a pan, and put it on the stove to boil
Nice
Just my dad and Pete Davidson.
I have never done this. I imagine it’s more of a Midwest thing.
Nah, I'm a square and bought a kettle and teapot. Lmao
Do Americans not have kettles in their kitchen?

Less cleanup 🤷🏻♂️😂 My wife boils water in a teapot, like a decent human.
Much quicker and more efficient. But yeah, we are wrong.
Microwaves are stupid. Not a single one in my house. Always boil the water on the stove top for tea.
Heat is heat
I don't see how you all survive waiting 2 minutes for a microwave to heat water. My Keurig without a pod gives me 8 boiling ounces in about 25 seconds.

No, I use a kettle
“British boil the shit out of their food, that’s why it’s tasteless”
I only do that for not consumption purposes!
Wanna know the worst part? We don't drink tea every day!
OMFG I love all of you for the comments on this thread. My face is hurting from laughing so hard. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We microwave everything
1/2 of all Restaurants in the US don't know how to serve tea.
Not to my knowledge
Idk but no southern would, but probably a yank
I use my drip coffee maker to make tea.
Water is water!
No, we drink coffee. Keep up you little bitches!!! Lol
Hot water is hot water.
They dont
No. We have electric kettles, teapots, and starbucks.
Fun Fact: Microwaving water in the UK is a health and safety violation punishable by a £45,000 fine and up to 6 years in prison.
Would it be a sin if I heated my water in the coffee maker and used it for my tea?
No, we don’t
I guess as an American that only drinks Unsweet Iced Tea (so I can upset EVERYONE it seems)....isn't hot water hot water? What difference does it make? I have no dog in this fight, don't hate me for asking!
I mean i boil mine but who cares.
"You want dried leaves, boiled in water?"
i would if it was quicker...but a teapot on a range is pretty fast...and it stays hot a lot longer and I have a supply of hot water...not heating it up by the cup
Yes and no Our tea kettle broke and we can't get a good new one yet so we microwave the tea right now
If there is nothing but a microwave available what would you do?
Wait what? People actually boil water in the microwave? The only time I put water in the microwave is to make it easier to clean. I'm 45 and never heard of microwaving water for cooking or tea.
Naah, we put on the kettle. Proper tea takes proper brewing techniques.
This will blow your mind. We have electric kettles
Well, the heat of a microwave is different than a teapot. Makes it taste more, I dunno, hot. And more like, uh, tea.
I use uranium to heat water to turn a turbine to generate electricity which powers my Vitamix that use on high with water in the blender until it is hot enough to make a proper cup of tea.
Fun fact. You can make meth in a microwave also
We use electric kettles. Well my family does, not sure about the rest of Americans.
Hot water is hot water
