I have other friends who swear by their instant hot water as well. For me, tea is a self-care thing, and "putting the kettle on" is a big part of the comfort routine for me. My sister tried to convert me to an electric kettle years ago and failed (mostly because every electric kettle available at that point had plastic of some amount in it, often touching the water). I really look forward to an induction stove for heating tea water, though - we have a coil top now and I expect induction will be so much faster.
Remember that you will need a teapot that works with induction. When we switched to an induction cooktop (which I absolutely LOVE), I realized my stainless steel kettle didn't work on it. It's not magnetic. So I now use an electric tea kettle (which I also love. It's an older version of this Hamilton Beach. The inside is all stainless steel. The only plastic touching the water is the edge of the metal filter in the spout: https://smile.amazon.com/Hamilton-Be...0389082&sr=8-1)
Hope you love your induction appliance as much as we do.
