Is there any plastic coming in contact either with the water or steam? If so, which parts?

There is no plastic parts a part from underneath the top which is a hard material no metallic. The doesnt touch there necessarily.

Under the handle there is a water level indicator which is a window of plastic. Look at the second picture and you will see what I mean. This is not glass, it is plastic.

Most of the vessel is stainless steel. The window is plastic. The scale filter is plastic. The two blue LED lights are plastic.

I couldn't see any information about it on the unit, but water in it is mostly in contact with stainless steel interior, so even if the plastic is not BPAfree there is only short period when water is exposed to it.

No, there are no plastic parts inside the kettle. So water does not touch non plastic parts.

I don't see any plastic on this tea kettle at all. The top part of the handle and the knob on the lid is a rubberized or silicone material and neither come in contact with steam. Hope this helps.

I wrapped all plastic/rubber areas with a plastic cover just in case. However I didn't see any damage to the plastic itself. Just make sure water don't touch the treated area.

There are a couple places where the water contacts plastic. The pour spout has a micro screen in it -- the screen frame is made of plastic. It clips in place so it could be removed. There's also a clear plastic fill gauge that's part of the handle -- water comes up in it. That gauge is attached with some sort of soft gasket material which contacts water. Finally, the lid and the part that it attaches to are also plastic -- steam contacts those.

No, none at all. Inside it's only metal. There is no water level indicator (only amount of water you are pouring into it and max indicator, all metal). The only plastic in the inside would be the top lid. But water would not touch it directly when boiling, I guess the steam does. Water is only in contact with metal from base to top.

The one with steel. Don't buy plastic. They will not last. This on is great. It comes with two different size attachments to steam with!

There is no plastic in contact with water on the inside of the samovar. Everything that is in contact is either tempered glass or stainless steel. I hope that helps!

I have mine in a bird bath but have never seen any steam coming from the water. I don't think it will produce steam.

There actually several plastic parts that contact the water, not just the window. There are two screw covers/washers on the bottom, and a strainer that the water passes through when you pour it (to keep sediment that forms on the bottom of the pot out of your tea). This strainer is removable, but the other plastic parts are not.

It is plastic. the hose is metal. Still working well for me, and looks almost like new! (only because I have hard water, so there are some spots)

No plastic does not come in contact with boiling water. The water gauge on the inside that meets feels like glass yes the lid is the only problem that I had and hasn't been a problem recently. The water gauge on the surface feels plastic but if concerned about something check with manufacturer

I haven't had any problems, though I would suggest taking the plastic off the valve handle.

The water does not touch any metal. The pitcher part is completely glass except for the lid (which you can just open and pour if you don't want the water to touch the plastic either).

It's all plastic. The air for drying is warm but not hot do should be fine with plastic.
