    Because there’s no temperature control and it can explode.

    My kettle will heat water consistently to boiling point every time without going over.

      It really takes some very special conditions for that to happen. Every time I’ve boiled water in the microwave it’s always boiled fine just like on the stove.

        It takes leaving it in a bit too long and either moving or adding something to your water, it’s not that difficult.

        Third-degree burns aren’t something I’d really want to risk just for some coffee.

      I’ve not heard of this before but I also never boil my water in the microwave since it takes too long. Usually just warning it up (so 1 or 2 minutes depending on what I’m doing)
