It is? I have lived in many furnished apartments and none even came with a coffee maker.
Furnished here typically means furniture not dishes and not small appliances. And I have lived all over the US. So don't tell me I am wrong. I know what furnished means in 90% of the US. The landlords typically do not provide easily stolen stuff.
Now many hotel/motels do provide suites with full kitchens and nearly all these days do provide a small refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker but not apartments. But you are right a tea kettle being provided would be odd. So maybe he was calling a motel room a furnished apartment.
Now I did once live in a furnished apartment where the landlord did give us all anything we needed. He had a tenant skip out on him. Rather than take all the stuff to the trash or charity, he brought out some playpens (for the babies) and then started knocking on doors. All of us that were home, got our choice of what we wanted or needed if we would clean out the apartment. He watched the dozen or so babies and toddlers.
