I thought this one was also to do with their power being on a lower voltage so Kettles take longer?

But it's still super weird. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not. Boiling water with 110V power works just fine.

Electric kettles are are slower on 110 but way faster than electric(non induction) stove

We have keurigs now 🤡

(They can dispense plain hot water)

Ah the company that convinced people that adding DRM to coffee was okay because they made it "easier" to make coffee (meanwhile I've faught far more with every kurig I've encountered than any $5 drip coffee machine I've ever encountered)

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

We mostly use it like a regular coffee machine though, with the cups you can fill yourself. No DRM used here.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

Looks like it depends on the model for if it has DRM of not. Here's an article from 2015 where they said they were bringing the DRM back and this reddit thread has some users discussing their history of sometimes putting in DRM on the machines and sometimes not.

The same reddit thread also points out that Nestle got onto the bandwagon of disposable plastic cups with DRM tied to their brand of coffee maker, so as usual, fuck nestle too

Is there a generic (non-brand) name for these boiling-water faucets? (That's not a mouthful like "boiling-water faucets"). I think we call them quookers here, which is also a brand name, and I slightly dislike that practice. I mean, "brand name for generic thing" is very common, but the brands and things differ per country, so it's like a layer of jargon to decipher.

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I dont think there is. There are, however, actual instant hot-water dispensers you can install as an extra sink faucet and they are amazing.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah but anything that comes out of a keurig always tastes kinda sludgy.

Oh I don't own one... they make crappy coffee anyway.

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Only if you are a coffee snob who spends entirely too much on coffee machines. Its all relative.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

not that much slower, it's mostly dependent on the amount of water. We just don't drink tea (the main reason for a kettle) and coffee makers are basically just kettles so...
