It may not taste as good. I don’t know if you can boil water in a microwave, but it’s not a kettle, it’s a closed container and you can expect loads of vapour from boiling. Finally, microwave doesn’t heat stuff evenly, so you may end up with parts of the water superheated, and explode in your face when you take out the cup from the microwave. https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=18822#%3A~%3Atext=Microwaved+water+and+other+liquids%2Cit%2C+which+can+cause+injury linkfedilink
