I would drink tea and use an electric kettle if it would boil faster...
Zojirushi has been in business since 1918 and (in my understanding) is a household name in Japan. Their more expensive (to be blunt) lines are made entirely Japan and replacement parts (like rubber seals, which can wear out over time) are available for purchase through their site. I fully expect mine to last 15-20 years of continuous duty.
Not affiliated, just a thrilled customer.

Edit for additional info: the Zojirushi replaced my Sunbeam Hot Shot single cup boiler that had an unfortunate dry-run and became unusable. They were unavailable in late '21, but appear to be back on the market now. They boil a cup of water in under a minute. If the Zojirushi didn't exist (or I hadn't been willing to bite the bullet on the price) I would buy another in a heartbeat.
Value is what is left when price has been forgotten. Both of these utensils have been high-value for me, but the Sunbeam has a lower initial cost of ownership.
Don't be foolish like some and have 240V wired to a standard plug, though! NEMA 6-15 and 6-20 exist just so you don't mistake your beefed up socket for a normal American socket and fry your devices/zap yourself or others.
