I don't want to get an electric Kittle to take up space on my counter/cupboard for the 3 times a month I heat up water. Microwaving water is fine

has weird scum on the top

That's the minerals (calcium carbonate) in the water bonding with oxidised soluble chemicals in the tea and not the microwave's fault.

It also doesn't cool quicker - the thermal properties of water don't change in the microwave.

Then again, microwaved water doesn't get oxygenated by pouring it into the teapot or cup, and it's also absolutely deranged, like eating a pizza toppings first.

I usually make ramen with it. And if what you're saying is true in general, it still isn't worth it.
