    It’s 100% just a cultural thing. It just didn’t catch on.

    Just like how American households are much less likely to have an electric kettle then a UK household. This fact baffles British people.

      Our house has an electric kettle now. Got a cheap one for tea. Then realized even at 120V it’s a million times faster to boil water, especially since our stove is gas.

      I did some research on moka pots and they seem interesting if you want a really strong coffee. But decent drip machines do a good job (metal carafes, no hotplates) if you want the more dilute varieties.
