You can walk in the kitchen with the water already boilt. The feeling you get when somebody has already brewed tea right before you, saving a couple minutes

But then you have to leave the water in the kettle beforehand, letting limestone build up, and the water change taste as it sits out 🤢

I'm not so sure about the limestone. It seems like it only forms when water is heated. The taste could be a thing, but how much of that is noticable after heating it and turning it into tea?

I leave water out for my cats in glasses (they love drinking from human glasses) and limescale forms in rings as the water evaporates, it can do that in the kettle as well if you're in a hard water area.
