Capresso 25903 H2O Plus Glass Water Kettle, Polished Chrome CustomerReview
I’ve been using my kettle for several months. I read the reviews here about the chemical odor. I have a very sharp/sensitive nose and tongue. So I tested and checked(sniffed) my kettle carefully. Believe me, the odor so many reviewers were talking about is actually from the plastic handle. Look at the picture of the kettle. It is from the black part of the handle. This handle is completely out of the water you will boil. Since it is attached to the top edge of the kettle and against the glass, it gets a little warm when you are boiling water, thus you can smell the odor more easily.
Here is what I did. I boiled water with the kettle. There was NO chemical taste in the water it boiled. Of course I pour my boiled water into a cup to taste it. No bad taste at all. Then I tried to figue out where the chemical odor came from. When the kettle was cold, I sniffed and found the odor from the black part of the handle. Then I opened the lid and used a towel to cover the handle and lid. I sniffed from the top of the kettle again. This time, NO chemical odor was detected. I even checked the plastic materials used for the handle and the lid. Even they look similar. They are actually different. The material for the handle (which has the chemical odor) feels like a somewhat soft, non-slip material. It gives you a better hold of the kettle. You can actually leave a mark on it if you poke it with your nails. But the material of the lid is hard plastic. It looks like PP (#5 plastic–BPA Free, the same plastic for the new infant bottles). I was glad that the lid was odor-free too.
This kettle boils water very very fast. Faster than my other kettle which is a Breville stainless-steel one.
One more point I want to make is that many kettles claim that they are stainless steel, but they have a clear plastic window for checking water level. So you are actually still boiling water with some plastic. I am a bit OCD myself and I decided to keep this beautiful glass kettle.
