And no, the microwave is not a valid option.

    Water foaming when heated is caused by impurities in the water rather than the heating mechanism. So whatever is causing your water to foam is in it either way

          Hahaha good point. 😄

          Ah well, I have a decent kettle now, I don’t have to use my microwave anymore to make hot water, so I’ll continue to use that.

        It’s because the microwave gets the water a bit hotter than boiling. Just give it like 15 seconds and it shouldn’t foam.
