Questions and answers
- Are these two kettles actually different?
- No. Both listings describe the Cuisinart CPK-17P1 PerfecTemp kettle with the same 1.7 L capacity, six presets and 3-year warranty. Buy the cheaper listing.
- Which is better for tea?
- They perform the same. Both have presets for delicate, green, white, oolong and black/herbal tea, so leaf type decides the setting, not the listing.
- Does either one work for French press coffee?
- Yes. Both have a French Press preset, which heats water to the right temperature for coffee grounds.
- How long does the keep warm setting last?
- 30 minutes on both. The kettle also holds its place for 2 minutes if you lift it off the base.
- Is the 3kW figure real?
- Probably a listing error. Cuisinart rates this kettle at 1500 watts, and the same page also lists 1500 W. A US 120 V outlet could not deliver 3kW to this kettle anyway.
- Which lasts longer?
- They are the same product, so lifespan is identical. Both carry a 3-year warranty; descaling with the removable filter keeps either running longer.
