    The cavity magnetron was invented in England by a man who was clearly a tea drinker. The Americans successfully commercialised the device some years later, no doubt by a coffee drinker.

    If you guys had more volts in the household electrics you too could use an electric kettle like we do in the UK.

    I do not have easy access to an outlet intended for a high voltage device to plug an electric kettle into. Your point doesn't seem relevant. That is, unless you're suggesting we pull a frige or stove out from the wall every time we want to brew a cup of tea.
