The iconic Capresso H2O Glass water kettle is constructed of German-made Schott® heat resistant glass and has ounce and cup markings for easy filling. A gleaming stainless steel dome covers the highly efficient concealed heating element which boils water fast, quietly and safe…then shuts off automatically. In addition to heating water for tea, the H2O Glass is handy for brewing French press coffee or heating water for cooking such as preparing yeast, instant soups, and couscous.
