Yes, if I need only 1 cup of hot water, I use the microwave.

The electric kettle wants a minimum of 2 cups (1/2 liter), or else it makes funny noises.

Mine makes funny noises too, but since it has a marker for one cup, the noises obviously don't matter.

Was gonna say, for one cup it seems like a better use of resources (in terms of power), the only obvious downside is temperature control

You can buy a mini kettle that has a minimum of 250-300 ml, or 1 cup.
