☕ Swiss Coffee Pot Water Tower – Kingsburg, California

Simba 🐾 and I visited the iconic Coffee Pot Water Tower in Kingsburg, California — a towering 122-foot-tall landmark that stands as a proud symbol of the town’s Swedish heritage. Originally built as a standard water tower, it was transformed in 1985 into a giant Swedish-style coffee pot, becoming one of Central California’s most recognizable and beloved roadside oddities.

Perched beside Highway 99, the Coffee Pot Water Tower perfectly reflects Kingsburg’s Scandinavian roots — a charming blend of small-town pride, creative design, and roadside whimsy.
