Induction can also boil water much faster than gas ever could. And to be honest, as much hate as they get, I would even prefer non-induction electric over gas at this point.
I really wish I could get them to work properly, but my moka pot doesn't boil properly on a standard electric coil stove. Mine (hot plate) cycles on and off (at maximum heat and off rather than some intermediate temperature) causing inconsistent heating through the boiling cycle, making bad coffee.
I was raised with the coil guys. And even if it didn't release nitrous byproducts, just the safety factor of an electric stove being <<< than gas to blow up.
