Can anyone who owns this comment on the useful capacity of the top & bottom kettles? (in ounces or standard cups of water ?)

This set is great and does hold a lot of water. It's a decent size set. I'm happy with it.

I've never measured it but the top one is what I would get maybe one large cup and the bottom you could get two servings out of, if using English teacups perhaps more. If using the top one in the Turkish style for tea leaves you would only get about two good sized cups or 4 small ones from the bottom unit.

the bottom kettle will hold 4 - 8oz. cups . the top one can take 2 - 8oz cups. this puts the water level just below the holes where the spout begins

I just measured the capacity and got 3 cups for top and 6 cups for the bottom. We have had it for almost one year and have not had any issues with it.

Filled to capacity, the top/tea section holds 24 ounces max., and the bottom/water section holds double that amount, or, 48 ounces/6cups -but the first answer is most accurate for use because you want the water level below the pouring spout.

Total capacity to the top rim: 3 quarts To the bottom edge of the pour spout opening inside the kettle is 5.25 cups. To the top of the pour spout opening inside the kettle is over 2 quarts. To safely boil water I would stay at no more than 2 quarts. I just put 2 quarts of room temperature water into this kettle and put it on my electric stove burner on one notch below high. It was whistling fine in about 4 minutes. No problem using 2 quarts of water in this kettle if you need larger amounts of boiling water for a recipe. Note: until the water level reaches about 1 qt. in the kettle there will be a "splash back" when pouring water. Be careful of this. Pour water then tip kettle upright slowly when done pouring to avoid larger splash backs and possible burns.

Yes but only half the pack of kernals and oil at a time, the kettle you bought can only handle 4 oz at a time.

Yes, no problem at all. The kettle is just excellent in general. I highly recommend it!

I don't know. As far as I can tell, the kettle isn't marked, and I don't have the boxes anymore. I'd be happy to answer any other questions about it, though.

The metal parts are hot just like a teakettle on the stove. It holds about two cups of water that will boil in four minutes. They are well made. I use mine several times a day for tea water.

not sure why you're asking for dimensions of a kettle that the seller wouldn't replace when it broke after the first use. same for other reviewers. i would look for something else. i just bought an immersion heater since none of the stainless kettles seem to work well (quit after first use - chinese products unfortunately)

The teapot holds about 12 oz when completely full. The cups hold about 2 oz.

I use them for regular mugs, the taste is strong. I think in a small kettle it'd be ok. I'd use two for a big kettle as my huge mug seems to be a lighter taste.

There is a gradation indicator on the outside to the left of the plastic black handle. It starts at 0 Liters and goes to 1.5 Liters in increments of 4 bars. I can tell you that I fill the pot about 1/4 of the way and am able to fill my 16oz stainless travel mug. Often times the measurement indicators on the inside of a kettle are made of plastic and allow for chemicals from melted plastic to get into your liquids when heating. This is not the case with this pot. I still love the pot and it looks and performs as good as the day I received it.

At the minimum line there's approximately 12-13 oz. of water in the kettle. Let's call it 12 oz. because that's a more reasonable number.

Hi, I'm sorry to answer your question this late. I normally have 5-6 cups of water and that fills up about slightly half the height of the kettle. It is a very light, yet well constructed piece. When you pour the water out and it gets close to empty the lid tends to pop out a little, I normally have my thumb touching on the knob and it is never a problem. I have used about 5 different kettles, le creuset, an english one, another us made one and a china made one, this is the best one. Take care, I hope my answer gives you some helpful info for your decision.

It doesn't meet my needs. :-( And I so wanted to love it. The stockpot I use for most of my waterbath processing has too small a diameter to accommodate the rack. I haven't tested it for your specific question but if it's a nice close fit with the kettle, even if the 4-ounce jars did slip through the sides, they wouldn't go anywhere. :-\

The cups are 2 1/2 inches tall and each cup holds 8 oz/236.5 ml when filled to the max. (FYI: I filled one mug to the rim with water, poured the contents into a measuring cup and verified the capacity) FWIW: You probably wouldn't want to put more than 6-7 oz. in, or you'd risk spilling the contents.

One section holds 2/3 cup of liquid when filled to the top. I love to use them to make frozen desserts. I can pop out one serving at a time.

It actually holds more than 12 ounces of water. I have a small 12 ounce mug that I always use for my tea, and this teapot gives me one and a half mugs full.

Are we talking about the same item? I measured out 1.5 quarts (6 cups) of water, poured it in, and that's exactly what it holds (just barely). So apparently I have the same model and Angie Allen, but not some of the others.
