The British are horrified at the thought of making a cup of tea in the microwave, while Americans can’t understand why they should buy an antiquated device like an electric kettle (hint: both sides are kind of right). As far as Amazon is concerned, you’re better off prepping a hot beverage using an immersion heater, or a stinger, as they’re known in prisons across the country. That’s right, for $9, you can brew up a cuppa tea just like you would if incarcerated, but without the need to risk electrocution by building one yourself from power cords and razor blades.
