Tourist's Kettle Quandary in Spain Sparks Cultural Debate

A recent social media post by tourist Corey has sparked discussion online regarding common household items in Spain. Corey, currently visiting the country, shared his surprise at the apparent absence of electric kettles in Spanish residences, noting that he had to resort to boiling water on a stovetop. In his video, he humorously lamented, "I have to boil water as if I was in the same year [as the kitchen was built]." This observation quickly resonated with many viewers, particularly those familiar with Spanish customs. Comments on the video confirmed that electric kettles are indeed less common in Spain compared to other countries, with many Spaniards preferring traditional coffee makers or simply not consuming as much tea. One commenter stated, "We don’t usually drink tea, so we don’t have kettles." Another added, "I'm Spanish and didn't know kettles existed until I traveled to Berlin at 18." Corey's video also featured a large piece of cured meat, which he jokingly claimed had been sitting unfriigerated for weeks, further highlighting perceived cultural differences in food preparation and storage.
