I wasted probably thousands of hours in total arguing fruitlessly with creationists. I'm not going to make the same mistake with people who insist postmodern identity/grievance studies critical theory is Marxist Frankfurt School critical theory. Believe what you want.

A bit starstruck right now. Both
@HPluckrose and@ConceptualJames replying. All I need is@peterboghossian to weigh in & I’ve got a full house. When you’re in London hit me up & you can all come round for tea (earl grey) & we can talk about epistemology & social science. -
I am in London. Hence knowing better about tea!

Yer I forgot. You were at the battle of ideas. Sadly couldn’t be there as I was studying all weekend.

You can brew a lot more at a time with a coffee maker.

By “microwave tea” do you mean the leaves, or the water? How the water achieves the target temperature is utterly irrelevant, all other prep being equal. (This is easy enough to blind test)
-
Yes. Yes it is. LOL.
-
Starting with cold water could be an issue (vs hot from the tap) as water sitting in a heater tank can take on bad/different flavors. But presumably all that matters for proper flavor extraction is the right temp, and the right time interval before removing the tea leaves.
-
Forgive the scepticism. Perhaps there are variables influencing the process that we are ignorant of. Could it be that heating the water by microwave (radiation) affects the H-bonds or other solvents in the water in a way that heating by kettle (conduction) would not.
