Amazing Kettle! Reviews Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp 1500 watts 1.7-Liter Stainless Steel Cordless Electric Kettle

After 15 months, I have to say Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp 1.7-Liter Electric Kettle is pretty much perfect compact, great-looking, fast, and reliable. I use it most mornings to make French press coffee I understand its a bit pricier than other water kettles out there, but not many have different temperature settings. The warm up is very quick (does take longer if you mistakingly fill it past the max line).

I actually use the 185 setting a lot to brew my coffee in an aeropress. Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp gets your water to the right temp and it makes your teas and coffees taste so much better since you are not burning the tea leaves or coffee grounds. It finishes its heat cycle with an authoritative BEEP that I can hear from the next room as I watch Sports Center.

The most important thing about a good cup of french press coffee, besides the beans, is the temperature of the water. The Cuisinart CPK-17 base is very minimal, it looks like one piece of the kettle. The controls are easy to reach while holding the kettle by the handle, and the little LED light on the water level indicator is bright and helps you see the water level in a dimly lit early morning kitchen. It also automatically shuts off after a bit if the kettle heat has been turned off.

Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp Neutral:

• It is on the pricy side, but you get what you pay for, it's solidly build and looks stylish, plus it's been working for 3 years with daily use

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.
