Does it have temperature settings?

No. It has a single boil setting and shuts off automatically when the water boils.

How much water does it hold?

1.7 liters, about 0.45 gallons, enough for several large cups in one boil.

Is the body glass or plastic?

The body is glass with stainless steel at the base and trim, so the water touches glass and metal rather than plastic.

How do I deal with scale?

Descale regularly with a vinegar or citric acid solution, since scale is visible on the glass and collects on the element.

Does it shut off on its own?

Yes. It switches off automatically once the water reaches a boil.

Is it good for green tea?

Not ideal. Green tea wants water below boiling, and this kettle has no way to set a lower temperature.

Our take on the Breville The Crystal Clear Electric Kettle

The Breville Crystal Clear is a 1.7-liter electric kettle with a glass body and stainless steel base and trim. Its 1800-watt element boils fast, and the clear vessel lets you watch the water and see the water level without a gauge. It suits tea drinkers and households that want a simple, good-looking kettle for daily use. Against plastic kettles it offers a glass-and-steel build; against temperature-variable kettles it gives up preset heat settings, keeping only a simple boil with automatic shut-off.
