    Technology Connections is a cool channel that always teaches neat stuff.

    Though. I gotta say – This pair of videos he made on coffee (this one + the more recent one on coffee machines) amuses me as someone from Brazil.

    Cuz like. Electric kettles aren’t a common household item here. My family didn’t acquire one until 2020. But. We also don’t use dedicated appliances for making coffee. We just… Use pour-over filters (which Alec describes as a ‘hipster thing’, further amusing me) and boil water – In pots. And so it has been since before I was born. Since before my father was born.

    I guess it’s all cultural differences and all. Still. It amuses me.

      I became familiar with the electric kettle when I moved to Central Asia. Seems like it’s definitely a thing here, although in Iran we only had a gas stove and used that (for tea). Over there you can also get tea specifically brewed over coals so it acquires a smokey taste. For coffee I used a moka pot.
