Additional material certifications are in process and will be added to the listing as they are confirmed. Q: How much water does the Alba kettle hold? A: 1.5 liters, approximately 50.7 fluid ounces.

It is one of the few kettles at this price with no plastic in contact with water. Q: Does the Alba kettle include tea?
