Most of us heat our cup of water in the microwave in about a minute and
a half. Some of us have "instant" hot water dispensers at our sinks so
we can fill the cup with near boiling water in about two seconds. In
years past it was common to have a water kettle you'd put on your stove
(hob) to heat, but those have largely fallen from favor.
