Great Tea Pot August 30, 2010

This tea kettle works great! The multiple temperature settings allows for the correct water temperature depending on the type of tea and it heats the water very quickly.
 So far, so good! August 23, 2010

While I have only had this electric kettle for a short period, I am very happy so far. I never could replace my original, beloved Philips and bought a Krups as an alternative. The Krups failed after two years, which was ridiculous! I then tried an Aroma, but returned it to Target because of the terrible oily smell and taste I could never remove (after more than a month). While I do not need all the different temperature settings on the Cuisinart, I do like the "Keep Warm" setting.
There is no bad smell or taste, and the kettle performs as it should. It is a little pricey, but I was at a loss for options. A good buy if you can spend the money, particularly if you are a tea aficionado and need your water heated to different specifications.
Pretty Solid but... August 18, 2010

I did pretty extensive research before buying an electric kettle. The CPK-17 appealed to me on a few different levels. I liked the design, the materials used and the functionality. Although it's nice to have the option of different temperature settings, it's really only useful if you drink a lot of tea, which I don't. I generally use the "French Press" and "Keep Warm" settings, and there's also a Boil option (which is the next setting up from French Press). On the design side, it's a great looking appliance made from mostly stainless steel. Of course a big concern of mine is the use of BPA-leaching plastic in many kettles on the market, but there appears to be none on the interior of the CPK-17. The water level, as far as I can see, is covered with another sheet of steel. The only non-steel component I see on the kettle's interior is a silicone nub near the bottom, which nearly all kettles have and which are also heat-resistant. Another thing I like about the CPK-17's design is the 360-degree swivel capability of the kettle while resting on its heating element. And of course, the illuminated water level (on when the kettle is in use) is very attractive - a nice soft blue color. The pouring spout is perfectly-shaped which makes for a fool-proof pour every time. In terms of functionality, the CPK works exactly as advertised. Heat-up time is quick and the controls are responsive.
The major complaint I have with the CPK-17 is the fact that it's already scaling at the bottom and I've only had the kettle for 2 weeks. To me, this is crazy - especially considering I use filtered water by Multi-pure (one of the most advanced filtration systems available), so the water is as clean as it gets before it even goes into the kettle. No chlorine, no calcium, no lime -- so what's with the scaling deposits already? It's annoying, and I wonder if other owners have had similar issues. Anyway, I'm giving this product 4 stars. To recap...
Pros:
- great design, little if any interior plastic
- smooth functioning, fast heat-up
Cons:
- Scales easily after only a few uses
- Pricey
As pleasant to use as the tea it brews August 17, 2010

I recently ordered this kettle and another one for comparison sake. This stainless steel kettle was about twice the price of the other one, which was plastic. I had had a plastic electric kettle for seven years and was very happy with it, so I thought I would try one again due to the very good price. (The Philips ordered in 2003 is no longer available). I would also try this one because of the high rating and many features.
The plastic kettle had higher wattage and did boil the same amount of water about 30 seconds faster, but this kettle wasn't far behind. It was really a tough choice because both kettles had good features the other one didn't necessarily have. Unfortunately, they are both a bit heavy - especially when filled - and both their exteriors get hot, but I guess that is to be expected.
Ultimately I chose the stainless. It is very quiet and emits no unpleasant smell or taste. It had lots of features I didn't have to have, but I am enjoying very much: settings for different types of tea, pretty blue l.e.d. indicators, and a pleasant beeping sound that indicates the water is ready.

Now that my two boys are tea drinkers, this kettle is always busy at work! Love the fact that it has the preset buttons for black tea (BOIL), French Press (200 F), Oolong (190 F), White Tea (185 F), Green Tea (175 F), Delicate (160 F). Perfect TEA all the time, as we prepare different kinds of tea on the table! Grab one while it's on SALE! Thanks Cuisinart!
