This kettle replaced my old copper bottom kettle that simply wore out after many years of use. I am real picky about the taste of my coffee. So much so, that I make each cup individually through a Melitta Ready Set Joe Filter Cone. I was a tad skeptical at first, worried about if the water would have an after taste. I did read a good review here and decided to give it a try. Glad I did!! This is a wonderful kettle. No after taste whatsoever, very quick to boil and easy to operate. Do not hesitate to purchase!
I bought this to replace my Capresso 259.03 H2O Plus Glass Water Kettle, Polished Chrome. I decided to try something new because this one had an idea on how to prevent mineral build up. Well, while that turned out great, it had 2 problems:1) IT SMELLS! The water has to pass through a plastic spout and it leaves the poured water with a horrible plastic smell2) Too complicated for their own good. The lid has a button you push to open it. The capresso you have to (OH NO!!) lift it yourself. The difference: The mechanism for openning the lid on this one broke. I never had a problem with the capresso. And the replacement (I tried another one incase the problems I was having were just a fluke) had a small little filter screen for the water pop out and I couldn't get it back in (I could see this as useful for loose leaf tea).I really liked no more mineral deposits, but I simply can't live with the smell.
This electric tea kettle boils 1.75 litre of tap water in exactly 8 minutes, then automatically shuts itself off. It is saving us time and cooking fuel, and saves itself from boiling dry and self-destructing. I highly recommend it for those who need a couple pots of boiling water every day. So far(in a month or two), neither the heating plate in the bottom nor the glass pot itself have crusted up with mineral deposits and the water tastes pure and clean.
I bought this kettle to replace a Capresso one, which I liked but it did not last long -- the handle broke off at the top just when garantee expired. I also hoped that this kettle will solve the problem of bad chemical smell apparently coming from the silicon or plastic seal between glass and metal heating element. Alas, this kettle has the same problem as Capresso! I hope smell will disappear as it did eventually in Capresso. Also, I was a bit disappointed that it took 7-8 min. to boil max. water -- longer than Capresso, I thought, but maybe I am forgetting. Another annoying feature -- the package said "fast and quiet," but it was neither. It was quite noisy, much noisier than Capresso. And don't even think to fill this kettle with more water than max -- even that was too much: the boiling water was splashing so violantly, I was afraid it would spill over, but luckily it did not. But the next time I'll use less water than max. With all this said, the kettle did its job, turned off reasonably fast, and pouring was easy -- you don't have to open the lid as in Capresso, and the steam did not come close to my hand. The kettle looks and feels very sturdy if not as elegant as Capresso.
So, I hope it will last longer. But the next time I probably will go with a metal kettle, although some of them I saw in stores felt quite heavy even when empty, but at least they probably won't have stinky plastic. So, I would recommend this product, but with caveat, and not to somebody who is concern about plastic and bad smell.
Chef's Choice Electric Glass Kettle is handsomely crafted with glass and stainless steel construction. The advanced design boasts a concealed heating element that is never in contact with the water, for no mineral deposit build- up. The kettle lifts from corded base for easy filling pouring and serving. With its 1-3/4-quart(liter) capacity, Chef's Choice glass kettle can heat water faster than a stove or microwave, and automatically shuts off when water reaches the boiling point. Other safety features include: Boil- dry shutoff protection, convenient push button single hand lid opening, and a cool touch bottom. Also comes with clearly marked water gauge, convenient for left or right handed users.
