I bought an electric kettle as soon as I left home. I had one in college. I never had a coffee maker though. I’m happy with instant coffee.

Now coffee drinkers than tea
I do. I have a nice temperature control pouring kettle. But I imagine that unless a person is into tea or a coffee enthusiast, most Americans are probably fine with a drip coffee machine and a microwave is fairly fast at boiling a mug too.
I do, buy metal not plastic.
I do. So convenient and low maintenance.
Mainly lack of marketing I think. When I went to England a few years ago they were everywhere. I bought one as soon as I got home. Fantastic invention!
I’ve used one for ages, it especially helps when boiling water on the stove. I heat it in the kettle first and then pour it in the stove pot. So much faster!
But one more thing to own, store, manage, for a little convenience.
I can boil 2 cups of water in the microwave in 5 minutes. Or 4. Takes about the same amount of time.

Because we have microwaves.
I have one, I make drip coffee. Used them on a trip to Australia and got one soon after.
110v power takes forever. 240v in europe is much quicker.
