Design
A practical household item in a beautiful design, the H2O PLUS Glass Water Kettle showcases the innate beauty of water – this highly efficient electric kettle not only looks stunning on any countertop, but also boils water faster and uses less energy than stovetop kettles
Base
With 360° swivel base for right and left hand use – kettle can be placed directly on the table or counter without using a hot plate for easy serving.
Auto Shut-Off
The Capresso 259 comes with extra safety features. The most important safety feature of this kettle is the auto-shutoff function. Once the water has reached temp, or as soon as you remove the pot from the base, the kettle will shut off, so you don’t have to worry about water boiling over and burning your hand.
Easy use
Slip-free, textured handle and drip-free pouring design – kettle lifts easily from power base for pouring and serving.
Capresso H2O electric glass kettle customer reviews
It is the best kettle we have ever used
This is our third instance of Capresso 259 kettle. It is the best kettle we have ever used, which is why it gets five stars. The large heating ball heats up the water fairly fast for a 110 VAC kettle. The clear glass is very nice. The fact you can wind up to power cord inside the base is very nice. The auto shutoff is very nice. However, it is not perfect. The reason we have had three of these is that the first one died shortly before the 1-year mark was was replaced under warranty.
Also, on the second one, the plastic lid broke in two ways: one of the clips that holds it closed broke off (this had only a minor impact on functionality so we kept on using it for a couple of years after that), and the rounded dome cover with the little handle at the top separated from the lower plastic of the lid (I was able to glue it back down several times, so again, we kept on using it).
In spite of the obviously cheap construction of the plastic portions of this kettle, I still give it five stars because its conception beats every other one we’ve tried. If Capresso wanted to make, say, an all-metal one that was more solid in construction but still had all the features of this one, then this one would be knocked down to maybe three stars, with the new fantasy one dislodging it from the five-star position.
