Reviews for Cuisinart CPK17U Multi Temp 1.7 Litre Jug Kettle Brushed Stainless Steel (Kitchen & Home) Overall this kettle is working really well. It looks great, boils the water quickly and accurately, doesnt make too much noise and does not have a plastic interior that would taint the water

Firstly this review is for the Cuisinart CPK17U sold in Europe (not the Cuisinart CPK17 sold in the USA) the main difference between these two models is that the CPK17 has a "30-minute keep warm" where it boils the water and keeps on boiling it constantly for up to 1/2 hour. The CPK17U sold in Europe just boils the water and then turns itself 'almost' off.

I say 'almost' off because like many higher end kettles it does have a couple of blue LEDs (and an electronic thermometer) that stay on all the time unless you turn the kettle off at the wall. I could not find anything in the instruction book or on the Cusinart website about standby energy consumption, but comparing with other kettles I would estimate the electricity cost at about 2.50 GBP per year (so if the kettle lasts 10 years call it 25 GBP)

The kettle does have an "Automatic Eco feature" mode, I suspect this might be marketing B.S. but when you select a specific temperature setting, the kettle will 'forget' this 2 minutes after the kettle has boiled, so some of the electronics do get turned off.

You can choose a range of temperatures: 85 / 90 / 95 or 100 degrees - the 85 degree button is recommended for Green Tea and instant coffee, 100 degrees for black tea. It is also possible to get a lower temperature by just watching the thermometer readout and turning the kettle off manually once it reaches the desired temperature.
Reviews for Cuisinart CPK17U Multi Temp 1.7 Litre Jug Kettle Brushed Stainless Steel (Kitchen & Home) I've never found the perfect kettle before. There's always been problems such as the level indicator not working, leaking water and ugly scale marks on the exterior. This kettle so far has been very good. It still looks good after a month of heavy use.
Reviews for Cuisinart CPK17U Multi Temp 1.7 Litre Jug Kettle Brushed Stainless Steel (Kitchen & Home) Needed to replace my Russell Hobbs Stainless Steel Kettle, after over 30 years of loyal service.
Worked out that with inflation it would now cost at least a couple of hundred pounds!

Found a huge selection of kettles on the market, between twenty and ninety pounds. Looked at a lot, first on line then in shops. Found some were very flimsy, poorly finished, uncomfortable to handle, difficult to fill, with lids I couldn't open easily and short flexes.

Cuisinart's model had none of these faults; it had the longest guarantee (3 years) was solid, well-finished and stylish, with a blue light,handy temperature control and water gauge.

I noted the criticisms other users have made. In practice I don't find the brushed stainless steel, for both kettle and base, hard to clean. I actually like hearing the kettle boil, which it does rapidly, and guess any metal-bodied kettle boiling will be louder than a plastic one.

I have had no problems with it at all and am very pleased with my purchase. I already have a Cuisinart chopper/grinder that is well made and works well.
