Capresso 259 H2O Plus Glass Water Kettle Review

Do you like to make tea? Are you tired of having to sit and wait for the water to boil just so you can have a cup of Earl Grey? Well, thanks to the Capresso 259 H2O Glass Water Kettle, your next batch of tea is just minutes away! No longer do you have to light the stove and wait for the kettle to start hissing. Now, you can simply press a button and be drinking your hot beverage in a fraction of the time.

Today I’ll be showing you the benefits of this versatile and reliable electric kettle, as well as show you why you should have one in your kitchen.

Capresso 259 H2O Features

This glass electric kettle has all the features you could want, and then some. Unlike regular stovetop kettles, this device has both the performance you want with the convenience of modern technology. Here are the top five reasons to get this machine today.

Cordless Base

Just because you have to plug this kettle in, that doesn’t mean you are tied to the wall. The Capresso 259 H2O Kettle has a 360-degree cordless base, meaning that once your hot water is ready, you can pour from anywhere. Some electric kettles require you to put the pot back in a particular position, but with this base, you can set it down facing any direction without worry.

Another reason this cordless base is so great is that the heating element is stored inside. Other kettles have an exposed heating element in your water, which can lead to calcium and lime deposits. With the Capresso 259, however, you won’t need to worry about that.

1.5-Quart Capacity

As any avid tea or coffee drinker knows, you can’t just have one cup of your delicious brew. Thankfully, with this versatile electric kettle, you can make enough for second and third helpings, and even have some left over for your family or coworkers, provided that you like them that much. All kidding aside, however, the Capresso 259 Kettle is designed to give you just enough water for whatever you need. Whether it’s a perfect cup of tea or boiling water for cooking, you can have it all with this kettle.

Glass Pitcher

When it comes to electric kettles, there are three primary materials from which you can choose. The first is plastic, which has the unfortunate side effect of potentially leaching chemicals into your water. These kettles are usually the cheapest, but, as they say, you get what you pay for. The next material is stainless steel, which has a lot of advantages, except for the fact that you can’t see what’s going on. If you need precise measurements, not all stainless steel kettles will offer markings to show you how much water you have. Finally, there’s glass. I prefer glass since I love to watch the water boil, but the benefit of having a glass kettle is that you can precisely measure your amount of water. The Capresso 259 Kettle also comes with markings on the side so you can be accurate every time.

Auto Shut-Off

Safety is always the main concern when discussing hot surfaces or liquids. Thankfully, the Capresso 259 comes with extra safety features, so you don’t have to worry about burning yourself or anyone else. 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.

Ergonomic Design

When you look at the Capresso 259, you may notice it has a classic yet stylish design. The pot is made to look like something you’d see at a coffee shop, but the smooth, extra wide handle allows you to pour without risk of touching any hot surfaces. Also, the opening at the top is wide enough to enable you to both fill the kettle quickly and easily, as well as clean it out without hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q. Is this kettle machine washable?

A. No, some parts of the kettle won’t hold up in the dishwasher, so you have to clean it by hand.

Q. How loud does it get when boiling?

A. Fortunately, this particular model is relatively quiet. Not so much that you can’t hear it or anything, but it’s much better than other electric kettles I’ve used.

Final Verdict

Several years ago, I stopped my coffee habit and switched to tea. For a long time, I used an old stovetop kettle that my parents gave me, and I never really thought anything of it. However, once I heard about the Capresso 259, I figured I’d give it a try. Suffice to say, since then I have never used my stovetop kettle once. I love the fact that I can watch the water boil and the fact that it heats up so much faster. I just press the button and presto, hot water! Overall, I’ve been very satisfied with this kettle, and I would highly recommend it.
