Yeah, but I also use my kettle for making hot water for stock, for cooking
rice and noodles, or for other non tea-drinks that require hot water. It's a
lot faster than boiling it on the stove. My kettle probably gets used minimum
4-5 times a day. If I'm in a UK household, where tea is properly going, it's
probably like 10 times a day lol.
