- German Schott Duran heat-resistant glass body
- Submerged stainless steel dome heating element

Who it's for
Kitchens that want a kettle they can set directly on the table and where visible water clarity through glass matters, such as pour-over coffee routines. Less suited to buyers who've had bad luck with earlier Capresso kettles failing early, based on the mixed durability reports here.
Pros and cons
- Submerged heating element boils noticeably faster than flat-bottom designs
- Glass body shows water level and clarity clearly
- Auto shut-off and boil-dry protection
- Can sit directly on a table or counter, no trivet needed
