Can someone please clarify the capacity? The description says 1.2 liter/72-ounce, but that math doesn't work...

it takes 40 onces to reach the recommended capacity (fill line) before boiling. This is to ensure sufficient space for the steeping basket and that boiling hot water doesn't spill all over. It can actually hold 72 oz. total volume. (provided that you are not going to boil)

the line indicating the maximum water to add before starting to boil shows 1.0 L, it holds almost double that amount so the extra allows space for the boiling process

When using the tea infuser the maximum water capacity is 1 liter. One liter or less allows the basket containing the tea to sit above the water. That way your water can be heated to the desired temperature and the tea lowered at the optimal time. When not brewing tea, more than 1 liter of water can be added. When I cook pasta, say 8 oz. of elbow macaroni, filling this kettle to the top to boil the water (which is then poured into a pot on the stove) is more than enough water to cook the pasta. The kettle takes about 3 minutes to boil a liter of water, a little longer when filled to the top. This is a great little kettle and ideal for tea lovers. I hope this helps.

Max water fill line is 1.0 liters on the container but I usually fill it higher. I guess it depends on how many tea leaves you put in the seeper.

I am sorry. I got it as a gift for my uncle. Not sure about the actual capacity.

Well, it certainly cannot collect 70 pints of water in the tank so the answer is 9.5. Still not sure why it says 70 pints? Never thought about it but definitely a darn good question - just how do they come up with the 70 pint figure? Hummmmmmmm...............

Mine holds 72 oz or 10 cups of liquid. I hope this helped in answering your dilemma.

It is labeied at only 2 Quarts, 2 Gallons,1 Liter and 3 Liters. It is very convenient and the handle is ideal for easy holding dispite the weight of 2 gallons.

The one I got is 51 oz. (1.5 Liter). Assuming nothing has changed in the same listing from the same seller, it should be the same for you

I haven't actually measured capacity but I'm guessing it's 8 to maybe 12 oz. They are actually quite large.

It is effectively a one liter maximum -- about 34 ounces. It is a bit difficult to fully fill due to the flex of the walls, so consider it a quart and the .7 liters about 21 or 22 ounces.

I just poured 1/4 cup water into it, and there was a little more room, so I would guess it holds about 2 1/2 ounces.

The instructions do not indicate the exact amount, but I believe you will need more than that. Probably around 20 litre. Thanks

I think it may've been a typo. Because the one I bought is about 2L (Liters). I don't know about the (8) except it it stands for 2.8L. However, this product is fantastic. I recommend it. "U"

The max capacity of this pack is 30L. Sorry for the mistake. It has been corrected.

I remember reading somewhere on here that it held 1oz of water. I was concerned that it wouldn't be enough, but I've only had to refill it a couple times sinceI've purchased it, and at no time has it felt restrictive at all.

Thanks, and make sure you get a 24oz., although according to this page they are currently out of them. Who wants a 12oz. water bottle? I'm sure it has its uses, though. Good luck!

and Elizabeth Matthews is almost as stupid as you are.. 64 oz would be a HALF-GALLON aka a growler. jesus, does no one know how to use google??!!!

great question, I was wondering the same thing and the instructions don't tell you, the bottom reservoir holds about 7 liters, each mark on the side indicates about 1 liter, the top holds a bit less. You have to observe the marks when you fill the top so that you only put in as much as will fit in the bottom or else it will leak, it is easy to use as long as you don't over fill it. The maximum amount of filtered water that it will hold is, thus, 7 liters or just under two gallons. The water tastes great.

Come on folks, PRODUCT DESCRIPTION says 850 ml, Google it! (a little less than 29 oz.)
