I walked out of a hookup when she offered tea and put the mug in the microwave

I don't, my water dispenser has a tap for hot water. If I'm out of water in the dispenser I usually boil it in a pan. That being said heating water in the microwave is not an issue for me, as long as it's just the water before adding the tea.

Im not against it, but an electric tea kettle is no slower, and less hassle. Seriously, 2 cups of water boils in under 2 minutes, it's insane.

In America this is the default method for small amounts of hot water.

My in-laws do that. Just today I ordered them a lighted electric kettle.

Never we have a Quooker. (Instant boiling water out of the kitchen faucet)

I do, water is water.

We use a kettle or boil it in a pot. I would not even entertain the idea of microwaving the water.

We just have an instant hot water tap. Can't live without it, haha.

I microwave water for almost everything that requires boiling water except cooking pasta.

I don’t drink tea or coffee, but my mom microwaves her water for tea.

Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat n it boils in like two minutes... Less than that is you use a saucepan...
