You should try a kettle. They’re definitely faster and more convenient than microwaving or the stove. There’s a reason tea drinking nations have them.

Also how often do you think you need to clean a thing whose sole purpose is to boil water?

Hard water + heating elements = scale

But also, seems like it would get mildewey/moldy pretty quick, I know coffee/tea makers can get downright gross even in the water-only parts.
