Contexto cultural
Boiling water is the first step to 'hygge'. Offering tea or coffee is a standard social lubricant. In Greenlandic Danish culture, the 'kaffemik' (a social gathering with coffee) always starts with boiling large amounts of water. The 'Quooker' (a tap that dispenses boiling water instantly) is a popular high-end kitchen feature, changing how people 'koge vand'. Danes love 'friluftsliv' (outdoor life). Boiling water over a 'Trangia' stove is a classic childhood memory for many.

The 'Lave Vand' Trap
