Nothing like the smell of freshly ground coffee 😍

Mine costs too much to break down

When I was there I had to heat my water for my coffee in the microwave.

Really? Do you mean electric kettles? Now that I think about it they often have water boiling on the hob. That's a really cool fact 😂

I know, i was shocked when i found this out too, they dont have toasters either !!!!!!!! Use the grill instead.

Whaaaaaaaat?

That can't be true

Umm, yes we do have toasters. Unless something has changed since I moved to Australia. You are right about the kettles, electric one anyway. It is not unusual to have one to use on the cooktop though.

I've seen them put pop tarts in toasters so they definitely exist

Their mains voltage isn't really sufficient to boil water very fast. They also aren't big fans of tea. Filter coffee is far more popular over there.

Americans don't use electric kettles - or at least it's very rare.

This is unlike Britain, where electric kettles are standard for boiling water.

Americans mostly use stove-top kettles. The kettle is filled with water and then heated on a gas or electric stove.

The kettle is filled with water and then heated on a gas or electric stove.
The water boils, producing steam, which then flows out of the kettle spout producing a whistle.
The whistle signals that your water is ready and you should turn off the stove.
I’m American, so when I moved to the UK, I was surprised that it was difficult to find the standard stove-top kettle that I had grown up with. They are almost all electric.



Most homes in the US operate on 100-127 volts, whereas the UK and many other countries use between 220 and 240 volts. The lower voltage in the US means that electric kettles would not heat water as quickly as they do in the UK. As a result, they haven’t caught on the US.

Hot Toasters. Any way you slice it, toasters are essential kitchen appliances. ... According to the International Housewares Association, 80 percent of American households have toasters and 56 percent have toaster ovens.

I don't understand rice cookers

Same here. Legit just put it in a pot on the stove. Does the same thing lol

I love mine. Set and leave it :)

I used to live in Japan. Every home has a rice cooker. If you eat rice daily they are worth it. Set it, cook it and leave it warm so you can grab a bowl full whenever you like, and it will keep your rice warm and fluffy all day. Home in Australia, I don’t eat much rice so I don’t bother with one, it’s easier for me just to boil it in a saucepan.

^ How cool to have lived in Japan ❤
