    I never tried tea from microwaved water, but according to rumours it makes the tea taste “off”. Microwave ovens are also taking up more space, so unless you have got one already for different reasons than boiling water it would make more sense to use an electric kettle or just the stove if it is a modern (induction) one anyway.

      I have heard the taste thing too (and some nonsense about radiation). Try it an have someone randomize the tasting for you. I did that and couldn’t choose the microwaved water reliably. Your sense of taste might be better than mine though.

      You’re right that it takes up more space and it would make no sense if you only use it for boiling water. For me it is more versatile and worth the space.
