Is this kettle actually two quarts? Someone's comments gave the impression that is is smaller than the stated size. Thanks for your answers!

The pot is two quarts, But it is two quarts to the top of the rim, So you can't actually cook two quarts without it a boiling over. But I think all pots are measured that way. I think it's the perfect size for backpacking.

If you fill this pot to capacity, it can hold two quarts. However, it is impractical to fill it so high considering most of us are using this pot on tiny, unstable backpacking stoves. I would say a comfortable capacity is 7 cups. That said, my husband and I use this pan often on the trail and easily prepare two servings worth of food. You would even be able to prepare three serving at a time. I base this on two cups of cooked food per person. More than that and I suggest a bigger pot or two pots.

I believe it is two quarts. It looks to be the same size as my 2 quart home saucepan, though I have not actually measured it. Its very light, and sturdy too...a good little product. I like the little handle on top of the lid. You can take off the lid when its hot, but the handle lays flat in your pack

Kettle is 2 quarts but is smaller than I thought but works well. You would imagine 2 quarts being bigger, but for packing, carrying, and using it's better to have a small footprint.

Outrageous that this should be called a TRAVEL KETTLE!!! This is misrepresentation. If this is not changed, I'm filing a complaint against seller who listed this to the Federal Trade Commission and Atty Gen Consumer Fraud dept. CHANGE THE LISTING OR FACE FALSE ADVERTISING CHARGES!

Yes, the kettle certainly is small enough for an individual serving. In fact, I think it to be the perfect size for such. I studied the dimensions before purchasing. They should be listed somewhere in the ad/s.

Unfortunately, the thermometer is too high. If you start with 6.5 gallons, it works for awhile, but the 5 gallons ends up below the mark. However, that has been my only disappointment with the kettle.

The maximum I fill it is to about halfway up the holes that cover the opening to the spout inside the kettle. That comes to a little under 40 ounces. This deceptively small-looking kettle actually holds quite a bit of water. That's the standard amount I boil in the kettle and it's never come close to boiling over.

yes, the inside of the kettle is the same as the outside and after 100s of boilings it is without blemish. Additionally, it remains as fast to boil as it did when I bought it. It has very good capacity with a small bench top profile.

Thank you so much for posting about the Hamilton Beach CoolTouch kettle, C. Simpson! I've been looking all over for an acceptable one, and that's the best I've found too. Very frustrating. Thanks for taking the time to share your find.

Hi Karen, thank you for contacting us in regards to the Severin hot water kettle model: WK 3644. This kettle holds approximately 0.5 liters. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email us back. Thank you Everything220Volt

The kettle I ordered does NOT whistle! And it is also only about a 1 quart capacity, not 2 quarts as it specified. Don't order this kettle--- it is generally unsatisfactory, as the handle gets so hot it is necessary to use a pot holder to pour; it does not whise; and the lid does not stay on tightly !

I'm not sure of it's size. I had to return this item because it was to large. I would think it is 5 quarts. Call the company.

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.

Very sadly, I just realized that the initial post was in 2008, the one reply was in 2009, it's now 2012 and still neither Amazon nor Cuisinart have come forward with better information! I just bought the 8 quart Multiclad and can firmly say that the diameter is about 10" and the height/depth is 8". It's a pretty flat pot - like a dutch oven. It was too small for my needs, so I'll be trying out the 12 quart.

24 inches...it is short, but the kettle is good...it turns itself off after boiling about a minute, and can't be reheated for 5 minutes...

I didn't measure it after I saw the other response. I would describe it as short. Another thing that I found surprising, is it brings the water to a boil, and then turns off. Maybe this is common in electric kettles; I haven't had one before now.

It takes very quickly to boil the full kettle / no longer than 3 min/. This kettle is the best I've ever had. I love it and it;s worth the price.You will never regret it to buy.

I gave this to my son several years ago, and I don't remember the exact size. I would guess it's 2 quarts. Sorry I can't help more.

Don't do it! It will either wreck the heating element or wreck the mechanism that allows it to auto switch off once it's boiled and it will kill the kettle. The minimum fill is 0.75l , which is about 2 mugs worth. Although I complained it's higher than my old kettle it's not all that bad.
