The all-new Capresso Perfect Tea cordless electric kettle takes tea brewing to the next level with 5 selectable temperature settings. Not all teas should brew with boiling water; in fact, boiling water will damage the aroma of delicate green and white teas leaving you with a disappointingly bitter cup. The Capresso Perfect Tea has temperature settings appropriate for most teas including boiling for black, herbal and red, and a setting each for oolong, white and green teas. There is even a 100 degree setting, perfect for preparing bottle of baby formula. The Capresso Perfect Tea's potent 1500 Watt heating element rapidly boils up to 48 ounces of water with an automatic safety shut-off and dry boil protection. The durable SCHOTT glass kettle lets you see the entire process and then lifts off the base for cordless left or right handed pouring. A convenient temperature guide neatly slides out for a quick brewing reference. Multiple Temperature Settings for Different Teas The Capresso Perfect Tea 260.03 boasts a 1500 Watt heating element that heats your water to 5 different temperatures: Boil (212), 195, 175, 160, and 100 degrees. Boiling water should be used with black, herbal and red teas; 195 degrees for oolong, 175 for white, and 160 for green tea. A convenient slide out tray includes these recommendations for quick reference. Simply turn the dial to the preferred temperature and press the center button. When the desired temperature is reached, the Capresso Perfect Tea automatically shuts off. Safe, Sturdy Design A concealed heating element is covered by a gleaming stainless steel dome which is easy to clean. The German-made SCHOTT heat resistant glass has ounce and cup markings for easy filling and measuring. No plastic comes into contact with the water kettle's boiling water, just glass and a silicone rubber gasket to seal the glass. The handle, base, and lid of the Capresso Perfect Tea 260.03 is made of sturdy ABS black plastic, and is accented by handsome chromed accents, complementing any modern kitchen decor.
