Efficient 48 oz electric kettle
The Capresso 259 boils up to 48 ounces of water in under six minutes using a patented stainless steel dome heater. It runs on 230 volts and is built for households that want hot water quickly without a stovetop. The cordless glass body lifts from a 360 degree swivel base for left or right handed use.
Boil dry protection and manual limits
Automatic shut off activates once the water reaches boiling point and boil dry protection cuts power if the kettle runs empty. There are no programmable temperature settings and no keep warm function so the water cools naturally after boiling. The illuminated power switch provides the only control.
48 ounce capacity decides fit
The 48 ounce (six cup) maximum fill determines whether this kettle matches your daily volume needs. Larger households or frequent entertainers may require the 57 ounce models in the same range while smaller kitchens might prefer the 16 ounce mini version.

Questions about this item
Is the 48-ounce capacity right for my daily tea routine?
The 48-ounce kettle boils up to six cups in under six minutes, making it suitable for multiple servings or a small pot of tea in one cycle.
What does the "under six minutes" boil time mean when I'm actually using it?
The patented stainless steel dome heater brings a full 48 ounces to a boil in less than six minutes, which is faster than a typical stovetop kettle.
How does the 230-volt rating and cordless 360-degree base work together in practice?
The kettle runs on 230 volts and lifts off its 360-degree swivel base for cordless pouring, so you can serve directly at the table without a hot plate.
