For a really long time we used the old fashioned kettle on the stove. But my mother convinced my father that an electric kettle is more user friendly. I've had one upstairs in my workroom's tea corner for years, before that I had one in my room at university in the UK (even though that wasn't allowed).
The bungalow my sister and I booked for September has a Qooker; one of those kitchen taps that, beside the regular cold and hot water, can provide you with boiling water.
