Thanks for the advice. I went with one of these:

I'm old fashioned and a lot of my tea is "Loose"
and it needs to seap for 3-5 minutes in hot water to be any good.
I don't see how tea in a coffee maker would work out ?
However, I do still need to get hot water to my small tea pots,
unless I do one cup at a time in the micro wave.

Regardless of agua heating methods the secret is in the steep.
The Mrs. had to a have a Chantal tea kettle decades ago. It was expensive even back then and sounds like a Hohner harmonica when the water boils. 
It was stashed in the basement when she got one of these a few years ago. It brings a pot of water to a boil in 1/3rd of the time.
If it makes her happy, I'm happy!

Yep, I remember those. As a first semester freshman in a dorm room, I had one of those, an electric skillet, and used the window ledge outside the window for my refrigerator. Did not pay for cafeteria access, so the set up was used constantly. Lotta canned food.
(By my second semester, I was feeling flush — as at the time I spent a whole lot more time working than I did attending classes or studying — I had moved into a furnished apartment let by my employer.)
I kept an immersion heater in my gig bag during my early road years for soup and coffee and a flat iron for grilled cheese.
I've been a tea drinker for 50 years and most of my tea is from China and all require different brew temperatures to get them "just right to taste". I use the OXO adjustable temperature hot water kettle.

I 'get' to go to Home Goods as well. Best part: the men's room's cleanliness. I suspect that's because of few male customers.
WE had a Breville for the longest time. When it died missie bought some cutsie think with a goose neck. As a tea snob, the water must be heated to the appropriate temperature for the type of tea, boiled for black tea, so get one that has different settings. And, it must steep for 4 minutes or more. I don't care for Keurig for tea. Too often, if people use it for coffee, the tea ends up with a hint of coffee.

My wife bought a simple electric kettle a few years back and loves it. It has a circular base that plugs in and the kettle that sits on top of it. The base does not get hot because the heating element is inside the kettle.
Ours has only has an On-Off switch and an analog dial thermometer in the side - no fancy electronics, push buttons or digital displays. I think she spent $29. Otherwise they all work on the same principle so it's really nothing more than picking one you like the looks of, that is the size you want.
