I had admired a pot similar that a friend had. I saw this in the catalogue and ordere it. I am so pleased with the speed I get hot, hot water and also the ease of cleaning. The glass electric kettle is a great addition to my home.

Review 4 for Capresso Glass Electric Kettle
TAWNDIE
fromChicago, IL.
This kettle is simply terrific!!! It boils the water very fast and gets really hot, which makes great tea because it pulls out the flavor from your tea bags with full bodied strength. I purchased ( 4 ) and my sister purchased ( 3 ) because we knew that they were great for christmas gifts. My sister and I already had our kettles so we wanted others to enjoy the experience also. I would recommend this water kettle in a heart beat. It is great for different things , like instant hot cereal and instant mashed potatoes, and etc. Well I guess that you got the message ''LOL'', it's great!!! I can't find anything negative to say about it and it looks good too!!!

Ginjo

This is the best electric kettle I have ever owned. The water boils very fast and with the glass you can see right when it starts to boil. It has an automatic shut off but I generally tun it off right when it starts to boil. I could never do that with my previous three electric kettles. The Capresso Glass Electric Kettle is the only kettle I will ever use and the only kettle I would give as a gift.

When my old stovetop kettle started to decay, I decided to purchase an electric kettle as many of my friends had them, and they seem to heat water faster. After researching electric kettles, and based upon an enthusiastic recommendation from Cooks' Illustrated, I purchased the Capresso. It has not disappointed. I make a pot of tea every morning with breakfast, and it boils the water very quickly. By the time I get the teapot, teabags, cups, sugar and milk together, the water is ready to go. And it stays hot for quite a while, great if you want to top off the teapot. Also, many recipes I make call for adding hot water. With the Capresso, it's at the ready when I want it. Stylish and practical, this is a great product.

I had this kettle for a number of years and have recently purchased my second. It is efficient and is faster than a microwave or regular kettle, which means less use of fossil fuels! It is modern in design and looks very nice on my counter. I use it for making tea, coffee, and hot water in general; i.e. I'll boil water in the kettle and then pour it into a pot to make pasta for example. I live at high elevation and this really speeds up cooking time.

I love how quickly water comes to a boil. But you cannot leave water set in it for any length of time, there is a metallic taste I assume is coming from the stainless steel dome at the bottom of the pot.

I've wanted a hot water kettle since I discovered them as common kitchen items in Europe and New Zealand. I waited for my stovetop kettle to go kaput.
I like the glass so you can the state of the water. It has nice lines as well as a great functional piece.

The chrome on this product is plastic. I was looking for a non-plastic appliance/electric teapot which I found in the Chef's Choice model 685.
I returned this pot FedEx and await credit. I applaud Chefs Catalogue for its no-charge return. Thank you!
This just wasn't the product for me.

We purchased this model from Chef for two reasons the look and color and for it's sheik design. We also needed black for our new kitchen. However after we purchased the item it works so well we were sorry that we hadn't ordered it a long time ago. It heats fast and it's size is just what we needed for us. Well worth the money.

We needed a new electric kettle as our many years old Bodum died. Originally wanted the same one, which of course they don't make anymore. I thought this one sounded like a good choice, and it was.
It brings the water to a boil very fast. Love the glass carafe, and the whole design of it looks great with all of our other countertop appliances.
Would recommend this to anyone.

Good with reservations
PostedMay 14, 2011

fromCarpinteria, CA
Nice looking, very fast. Shuts off too quickly if you want boiling water for tea & requires a short wait to come back on to bring back to boiling -- a minor inconvenience. More important, however, is that it either should turn off automatically when below minimum water line and/or the blue light indicator that it is on should be more apparent. I already washed out the pot & placed it back on the element without realizing that I had inadvertently turned it on, and didn't discover it until the next morning.

Just got this electric kettle a few days ago. I love how quickly the water comes to a boil, much quicker than it would have if I had boiled water in a pan on the stove. I'm sure I will be enjoying the kettle for years to come.
