Not with a kettle they dont except with the amount of water you heat
and few kettles do a minimum amount of water very well at all.

Our kettle, a cheap one from Lakeland or somewhere, is quite happy
heating up 500-750 ml of water - just enough for a *large* mug of coffee.

Thats a bloody large mug of coffee.

It is: a Harry Potter "Marauder's Map" mug, filled about 1 1/2 times. Or a
conventional mug filled twice.
