You can get a small electric kettle for less than $20 that boils water extremely efficiently every time. Just add water, flick a switch, then it’ll click off when it’s done. Probably the easiest thing in the world and uses the least amount of energy. Plus depending on your glassware/vessel, you run a risk of the glass breaking when you microwave it. I’m not sure how likely it is, but I know it’s a possibility.
Not trying to convince you to switch, just pointing out the reasons for using a kettle. Do whatever works for you.
Superheated water might remain still, and when you remove the container from the microwave or add an item like a spoon or a tea bag, it can cause the water to boil explosively. This sudden eruption of steam can lead to burns and scalding injuries. https://sciencenotes.org/superheating-water-in-a-microwave-oven/
