Stoves and ranges often have high wattage hookups. They also often host electrical outlets. Seems weird there are no high speed boiling devices that exploit it.
my ascot 1.5 liter boils cold water in 7 minutes or less. that is quite a bit, enough to speed up ramen and coffee. much faster than a quart cup in the microwave. not enough to make a full thermos of tea in one brewing though, and definitely not enough to brew a full gallon of tea at once. a better pot would be more than twice the size, and need more power to brew as quickly.
I get the appeal, but I think cost and counter space would be limiting issues. of course, what annoys me isn’t the seven minutes, but the small size. then again, a gallon of boiling water in a heating unit is going to weigh too much.
however, I don’t think i’d put two boilers on the counter just because I make too much tea.
faster would be slightly more convenient, but would push the price up (not that there aren’t outrageously priced regular water kettles.)
I think it is like most other appliances: they use the nominal 1500/1875 amp target because that’s what a lot of 110 infrastucture peaks at.
