    I enjoy my under sink instant hot water heater.

    It can produce 14 liters of water at 70 to 100°C per hour.

    I never need to boil water really on the stove, fill a pot and let it boil for like spaghetti. But for like instant raman noodles, just adding the water in a bowl with it works perfectly fine.

    I live in America and they aren’t the most common thing installed in kitchens

    Is there an advantage of a kettle over instant 100°C water on tap? Couldn’t you just use it to make tea?

      It depends how much boiling water you need per day. Unless you use a LOT it’s more efficient (cost/energy wise) to use a kettle. Plus there’s a significant upfront cost to install a boiling water tap. However, if you drink a shitload of tea, or use a lot of boiling water in cooking, it’s generally better to have the on tap option.
