The PerfecTemp for Every Occasion Equipped with 1500 watts of power for fast heating, this electric kettle brings up to 1-2/3 liters of water to a rolling boil in a matter of minutes. Better than that, it offers six different preset heat settings, which allows for steeping tea at just the right temperature depending on the variety. Using the simple one-touch controls on the kettle’s handle, select 160 degrees F for delicate teas, 175 degrees F for green tea, 185 degrees F for white tea, 190 degrees F for oolong tea, 200 degrees F for French press coffee, and “Boil” for black tea or to make instant cocoa, oatmeal, noodles, and more. Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp Cordless Programmable Kettle The control panel also offers blue LED indicators, a “start” button, and a “keep warm” button, which will maintain the set temperature for 30 minutes. For added convenience, the kettle’s 360-degree swivel base allows for pouring without the hassle of a power cord getting in the way, and its memory function makes it possible to remove the kettle from its base for two minutes without it shutting off or losing its place in the heating process. Other highlights include a stay-cool nonslip handle, an “open” button for lifting the lid, a blue backlit water window with measurement marks, a concealed heating element to prevent mineral buildup, a removable/washable scale filter, a dripless pour spout, and boil-dry protection with auto shutoff for safety. A user manual with recipes comes included. The kettle measures approximately 8-1/5 by 9-4/5 by 12 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty. Parts and Benefits.

When returned to the base, it will restart the heating and/or Keep Warm cycles right where they left off. Keep Warm Mode Keep Warm is the kettle’s default function that automatically maintains selected temperature for 30 minutes. If you have selected the Boil preset, your unit will hold a temperature just below boiling during the Keep Warm cycle. To bring water back to a rolling boil, press the Start button twice. Keep Warm can be turned off by pressing the Keep Warm button at any time before or during the heating cycle. ; Boil-Dry Protection Your kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection. If it starts heating without enough water in the unit, the heater will automatically shut off to avoid damaging the heating element. The lights will flash and the unit will beep to alert you. Once the kettle has cooled down, lift it off the base, then replace it to reset and restart the heating cycle. The quickest way to cool down the heater is to fill the kettle with cold water; however, you can also wait for it to cool down by itself. ; Sleep Mode If the unit is not in use for 5 minutes, it will revert to sleep mode. The heater and all lights will be off, but your last selections will remain in the unit’s memory. To turn the kettle back on, simply press any button, or lift it up and then return it to the base.

Beautiful, convenient, and functional!
Idk how it started, but I seem to have a “thing” for kettles, and have more than I’d care to admit. As each of my kids leaves home, the first thing they’d take was one of my kettles. They use them to make coffee, tea, mashed potatoes, and ramen noodles in their dorm. I love cooking and canning, and have found so many uses for this kettle. It’s nice to look at, easy to use….even in the dark, and cuts time and valuable prep space when canning. Also great at sterilizing utensils and jars. I like the weight of it….doesn’t feel flimsy or will easily tip over like other kettles when the cord gets bent/twisted. The “keep warm” feature is convenient too. Bottom line, this is my new favorite kettle due to it’s size and different temp settings for making various tea blends. If you’re on a budget and only need it to boil water, this would be an overkill, IMO. Lots of much cheaper alternatives on here for that. However, if you find the temp and keep warm options helpful, this is a solid piece of equipment I highly recommend.

Solid and reliable – would recommend.
We bought this water boiler five years ago and just threw it out today. That’s a pretty decent run considering we used it multiple times per day. I like the different temperature settings, and it heats up water pretty quickly. The only major negatives other than it breaking after five years or that the bottom ended up getting stained pretty quickly, and I’m not really sure why because I only used water in it

Terrific Tea — two years and counting
UPDATE: October 30, 2017Well, almost exactly 5 years to the day I bought it, my Cuisinart electric tea kettle finally bit the dust. In the last couple of months, it seems to have been catching water in the base area, and then when I’d pour hot water into a mug, some water would leak out the bottom of the pitcher from the seam where the base meets the sidewall. I wasn’t sure if it was from boiling over because I filled it too high, or if something had cracked on the inside where I couldn’t see. Finally today, when I tried to get it to operate, it warmed slightly but then shut itself off and wouldn’t boil the water. I am assuming that this is a protection mechanism probably to help me avoid a fire. Regardless, I was very happy with this product, I used it multiple times each day when I was home, and I enjoyed the multiple temperature options. I would periodically use a sharpie marker to indicate the temp gauges on the handle for guests who might use it because the printing had long ago worn off from simple use.UPDATE: December 2014I have been using this tea kettle for two years, several times (5?) each day, practically every day. It’s shows no sign of burning out, and it still looks great. The printing has worn away from almost all of the buttons, but as I use this so often, I have all the temperature settings memorized. However, I can see that being something worth fixing going forward. (=*******************ORIGINAL REVIEW: As of this writing (June 2013), I have been using this tea kettle for 7 months, every day, several times a day, save for a few weeks away here and there. I drink tea all day long, and I work from home. I was a tad leery before making this purchase because some people had complained about the tea kettle burning out. Thus far, I have not had this issue at all.I LOVE that I can set the relevant temperature for the tea I want to brew. Mostly I brew black teas in the morning, but I then switch to milder ones as the day turns later. It didn’t take long for the “boil” (hottest) button to become illegible, which is about the only “bad” thing I have to say about this product. I’m not sure how I could have prevented the printing from wearing away from the most-used buttons, other than using some kind of plastic glove, but other than that, I am extremely pleased with this product.I was initially intrigued about the “warm” button, which promised to keep the water at the proper temp for 30 minutes, which means that it will start heating it up again all by itself. I didn’t actually like that, and so I now never have that function selected. I sometimes take longer than 30 minutes to drink a large cup, and when I go back, it’s quick enough to simply reheat the water again anyway, so instead of wearing out the heating element, I’d rather just do that manually myself.It’s easy to clean, it looks sleek, I love the illuminated buttons, and it’s a lot nicer than the several basic versions of electronic tea kettles I’d had in the past in Germany. I will never go back to a traditional tea pot on the stove. These are so much faster to heat up, and now with the precise temperature controls, it almost seems barbaric to think back to when I used one!

It is great for what it is designed to do!
* Updated – It is now almost 9 years later and it is still working great. I still stand by my original review! Great Product!!!!After buying it as a Christmas present for myself, I have thoroughly enjoyed it and have used it all day long every day. I read the bad reviews before and after I bought this kettle. Here are some observations from what I read in the 1 and 2-star reviews. For those of you that have had the kettle only last for a few months, to a year… I know that this kettle is expensive and should last longer. I would bet that after you pour a cup out of your kettle, you just set it back on the stand and walked off. This will put it into the hold temperature mode for about 30 more minutes. I know this is a feature but do you really need it to hold 212 degrees for an additional half hour? If you turn it off and then go back 30 minutes later and heat it again, it only takes a minute or two. Leaving it on puts unnecessary extra wear on the product fuse and heating base. I’m not defending it for burning out early, just suggesting a way to extend the life of the kettle. Next, I have read that after a month, a man and his wife still couldn’t figure out how to use it. Really?! You push the temperature you want and hit start, it beeps and stops blinking when ready. Got to wonder about that poor rating. Another one complained that it didn’t boil water any faster than their kettle on the stove. This is the one that gets me the most. If all you want to do is boil water, then save your money and boil water on your stove. This kettle is designed for tea lovers and press drinkers where a more precise temperature is required. This is what it is designed to do. If you throw boiling water over say, green tea, you have destroyed it. Press is best at 200-205 degrees. I, personally, got tired of boiling water then standing there with a thermometer waiting for the temperature to drop for my press coffee. If you just want to boil water… skip this and save your money. Another complaint was that the bottom was flaking off the inside of the kettle. It’s called “mineral deposit”, from your water. A little vinegar boiled once a month will solve this. If you have a coffee maker (it’s the number one reason it will quit working) or a tea kettle on your stove, it’s in there too. Another complaint was it was hard to fill and see the level. If you pick it up off the base and set it back down, it will light up and it becomes the easiest item you’ll ever own, to refill. And lastly, several complained it was hard to keep fingerprints and dirt off of it. It’s ‘STAINLESS STEEL’, wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it off. I have enjoyed it so far because it does what it is designed to do. A little preventive maintenance (turn it off when not needing it), routine cleaning ( as you should be doing with your coffee maker) and common sense ( the biggie) then hopefully you will not regret purchasing this kettle. For those that have treated it correctly and still had problems, you have an actual right to complain, but those other reviews, like described above, c’mon guys… common sense.

it is an absolute waste of money. not suitable for indian voltage , the converter recommended by the seller was for a lower voltage & the coil was damaged. Had to throw the kettle. entire money gone down the drain.

Great looking kettle with enough flexibility to keep the most discerning customer happy and a 3 year warranty – what more can you ask for?

What I really like is the colors, but the best thing is the sound at the end letting me know it’s done heating the water. Recommend it

Un poco cara pero lo vale la compra, calienta muy rápido, cumple bien su función, fácil de operar. Ãnica desventaja es que no trae botón de apagado.
