My biggest rave is the Amazon.com customer service. I fell in love with the look of this kettle and found the best price on Amazon.com (with free shipping!) When it arrived, it only worked if the kettle was oriented one way on the base -- when it boiled, the water dribbled on the cord. Called Capresso Cust Svc -- 1st person said, it's supposed to do that. After another week, it got worse. Capresso would replace it if I paid it's shipping back to them. Called Amazon.com, got another in the mail days later, post-paid shipping back the first one to them. Wow! This kettle works just fine. Very rapid boiling of water, no complaints about anything. To keep the glass and that silver dome shiny, you do need to do the vinegar thing every now and again. Couldn't be happier.
Great teapot June 1, 2006

I recently purchased this teapot after viewing all of the others available on Amazon and reading all of the reviews. I was very happy with this purchase. This Capresso not only looks really cool, it heats up twice as fast as my old kettle, and it actually holds more. I like that this one has a glass kettle and a covered heating element. The little blue light on the handle is nice, but I don't notice it much. Yes, it would be nice to have the cup and ounce lines on the side of the pot rather than on the back by the handle, but I don't really use them much. I just "eye" it. It also has no "ding" when the water boils, which was kind of nice on my old one, but not really necessary.
Unfortunately, after one month of use, the kettle just stopped working. I could not longer turn it on. I called the company and after a long wait to the customer service line, I left a message on their machine. They called me back the same day and had me send the machine back to the company to either fix or replace. I received a new machine within 2 weeks. I was surprised by the good service. My new machine has been working well since it was replaced.
Best hot water out there January 10, 2007

It's fast, reliable, and so far durable. It's great fun (and useful) to be able to see the water level and the water when it's boiling. Looks great and does a great job.
Negatives:
I have a fear that refilling it when it's hot will crack the glass, but so far fear's unfounded.
It's offgassing some odd hot-plastic smell, but that's gotten much better over the 2 months we've had it.
Excellent product January 19, 2008

The Capresso glass kettle is an efficient, user-friendly, reliable, attractive appliance. It is doubtful that the faint plastic odor which is noticeable when it is new affects the quality or safety of the boiled water. We purchased it approx. 1 month ago and use it several times daily. We are on well water and boil all of our drinking water with the kettle. There is no strange taste. I have used Durgol, a Swiss decalcifier, once to remove the mild mineral deposits on the heating bulb. The deposits on the heating bulb cleared up and the glass is crystal clear. We enjoy using this kettle (we have owned other brands) and hope that it will be a dependable product for a long
time for all who purchase it.

I really enjoy using this product. It's like a bit of art to have on your counter; out on display. I've had electric teakettles for years, and this one is as functional as the others. The on light is blue, a nice change from red as the usual indicator, and it shuts off automatically when it's reached temperature. It doesn't feel unstable in my hand when I lift it to pour, and it doesn't splash back. The lid is secure, too. I'm very happy with this product.
