I do
I do too.
Even if it might be not primary reason to abandon electric kettles, in current day and age having 120 volts is weird.
The world is cutting its consumption of gas and oil, using more and more electricity for heating. And here’s US with 120 volt sockets, maaan
It sucks

A great way to address the ‘your system is different from mine so it is dumb’ problem.
i had no idea. (i think) they’re pretty common here in Canada, at least a lot of people i know have one.
Canada is pretty much Europe
Technology Connections is a cool channel that always teaches neat stuff.
Though. I gotta say – This pair of videos he made on coffee (this one + the more recent one on coffee machines) amuses me as someone from Brazil.
Cuz like. Electric kettles aren’t a common household item here. My family didn’t acquire one until 2020. But. We also don’t use dedicated appliances for making coffee. We just… Use pour-over filters (which Alec describes as a ‘hipster thing’, further amusing me) and boil water – In pots. And so it has been since before I was born. Since before my father was born.
I guess it’s all cultural differences and all. Still. It amuses me.
I became familiar with the electric kettle when I moved to Central Asia. Seems like it’s definitely a thing here, although in Iran we only had a gas stove and used that (for tea). Over there you can also get tea specifically brewed over coals so it acquires a smokey taste. For coffee I used a moka pot.
