What is the coating on the inside of the kettle?

Epoca customer service says it's sandblasted stainless steel, which is potentially toxic and I returned my kettle. Stainless steel is an excellent cooking surface *unless* it has been damaged via harsh scouring or otherwise (and sandblasting is pretty harsh!). In that case it can leech nickel which is toxic. Google "healthiest type of cookware" for more info.

I read the other review and noticed the two small plastic buttons holding the gauge in place. I had not noticed them before. The inside is stainless steel. I love this kettle.

The inside is just stainless steel, no coating. The gasket is not in touch with the water at all. The key to making good espresso with these, is using medium heat, and soon as it's done "gurgling", remove from the stove. Mix with a spoon before pouring.

The only plastic exposed to the water in the kettle is the sight window that shows the water level. Other wise it is all stainless steel.

The kettle is metal. The inside is dark and appears coated. The handle is a hard plastic.

I am not sure but would guess it might be a teflon finish. I know it isn't a problem with me. I do not drain the water out each time I use the tea kettle. We use fresh spring water, and I don't like to throw it out unless it get some sediment in the bottom. There isn't much but occasionally I do rinse it out.

The only plastic on the kettle itself is the handle and cover. The kettle is stainless steel. I would think this is a question for the manufacturer.

The inside is plastic, and the bottom is metal. It heats water really fast. I love this kettle.

It's steel, just like the rest of the kettle. On the bottom it's mostly steel also with a round copper shape in the middle bout 2 and one half inches round that states " T-304 Stainless Steel-Multi-Ply 12 element, Lifetime warranty". It's the best looking and made kettle I have ever encountered, very well made.

Nothing interior except inside lid is a plastic type material , which the water doesn't touch and kettle automatically cuts off immediately once boiled , so probsbly little risk of BPA. Perhaps ask the mfg if its BPA free & material type. . I'm particular about these things too, but felt it wouldn't be an issue.

I Purchased about 2 years ago. Glass bubble on top and to my knowledge, it was all steel with wood handle. Water was boiled on gas flame with no evidence of color change on inside or out. Could not see or feel a coating inside, if thas what you mean.

The interior of the lid is all stainless as well. This is the only kettle I have found that is all stainless. A great kettle, boils quickly, cleans easily.

I don't know. I assume it's steel since it's fairly solid/heavy. I have been using this for several months now and am quite happy with it! I try not to leave water sitting in the kettle when I'm done. Highly recommended product. I really like the insulated, perfect-fitting (tight) lid.

It is a single wall construction kettle. So the interior is the same as the exterior - stainless for the majority with the plastic windows both interior and exterior.

I have no idea and the carton it came in is gone. It is a good kettle though just what I needed

The inside of the kettle is all stainless steel, except the lid. The bottom is a single plate of stainless steel, but is has been stamped, so that the center is raised about 1/16th inch above the outer 1/2 in wide ring.

Looking at mine there is a stainless steel layer at the bottom which would touch the burner, then there appears to be a fairly thick layer of copper, then the body of the kettle. Looked at the Nambe website at this item but no mention of copper. I do see it though. Beautiful kettle, I love it!
