    You ever eat instant ramen? You enjoy boiling things? Do you drink tea multiple times a year?

    The kettle is worth it.

      That’s the thing, the answer for a lot of people in the US is no.

      After coffee, the most common need for boiled water in US households is probably for pasta, and a kettle’s not really the tool for either of those.

      People that do eat a lot of instant ramen or drink a lot of tea in the US are more likely to have electric kettles (as some people I know do) but most don’t eat ramen often enough and tea just isn’t as big here.
