I think it's a default item everywhere except north America.

As part of reviewing a stay, Airbnb always asks if the place had a coffee maker. I've only ever ticked yes in the US, Canada, and Indonesia.

(edit: I should clarify, it asks if there was a coffee machine, but it DOESN'T ask if there was a kettle, showing the US-centric app design.)

You're a psycho if you don't have one in Canada. Don't lump us in with america

We stayed in a few different places across BC and Alberta. I can remember they all had drip coffee machines, but I can't actually remember if they were equipped with kettles, too! That being said, the addition of drip coffee makers could have been for American tourists (I did make good use of them though).

I stayed in Ontario for a while and the house didn't have one, but I bought one no problem
