Great kettle for specialty tea lovers

Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle
Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle

Pros: Kettle has separate temperature buttons for green, oolong, white and delicate teas; plus French-press coffee and regular boil. Can keep water warm for up to 30 minutes. Remembers setting when you replace on base.

Cons: Remembers setting when you replace on base - you need to remember to press a different temp button to cancel if you don't want it to keep hot or reboil. This is a refurbished product - mine looked and performed as new, but are they all perfect? Note that the warranty is NOT 3 years as stated - box and instruction manual clearly state that the refurb warranty is only 90 days.

Overall Review: If you are not a tea drinker or only drink black tea, you will likely find this kettle a frustrating experience and would be better purchasing one with just a conventional on/off control.
