is there plastic inside the kettle?

The only visible plastics are at the top of the kettle- above the fill line, where the handle is fastened, and a tiny grey washer where the temperature probe enters the bottom of the pot. If you truly want to avoid all plastics, the only choice to offer on any certainty is a plain aluminum or steel stovetop kettle. I assume if you are attempting to avoid plastics that you have managed to find a water source that is sufficiently clean. Most household plumbing over the last 20 or 30 years involves the use of significant amounts of plastic - in the form of washers, sealants, threading tape and now even even plastic hot and cold water lines. Much depends on local and state plumbing codes.

I would also like to know the same thing. It seems there is not any information on this for this particular product. So many of us are looking for non plastc, non aluminum tea/coffee makers, kettles, etc.

Yes, there is plastic inside the kettle. There is a part that holds the plastic handle that connects to the inside of the kettle along with a silicone washer and some metal screws. That plastic piece collects steam which will then drip into the water inside the kettle. There is also a silicone washer around the thermometer. If it's pure silicone then that wouldn't be considered plastic but it's hard to tell if it's pure silicone without any additives.

I want to know the same thing because the last 2 kettles I bought (Cuisinart & Hamilton Beach) had a small, round rubber part inside the kettle that comes in contact with heated/boiled water.

No, there are no plastic parts on the inside. The handle is the only thing that is plastic. It's the reason I bought this one, I too did not want my coffee touching plastic. You'll be good with this one, get it.

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.

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

There is a 5" x 2" filter inside the kettle that appears to be plastic. I bought this kettle thinking I could remove this piece, but doing so prevents the kettle from shutting off automatically. Also, after repeated boilings and vinegar soakings, the water still has a chemical/plastic taste. I ended up getting a De'Longhi KBO1401W Electric Kettle which I am happy with.

No plastic parts are visible, I seriously doubt any are contained, I have 3 of these - they are beautifully and we'll designed, durable and heavy. They keep my wife's tea hot down to warm over 24 hours. But remember to fill it with the hottest tap water you have and let it absorb the hear for 20 secs to a minute if you want to keep it hot for a long period of time! It absolutely does, and you won't regret the purchase! Good luck!

Hello! The only plastic part inside is the water measuring stick, the metal round inside is containing heating equipment and it has no seams inside kettle so it's perfectly safe to use, no plastic. I've got this kettle for my mom a year ago and it`s the best one from all we had, still working, no plastic taste. Please enjoy!

The entire kettle is plastic, including the inside body. However, we did not notice any adverse taste or odor from the plastic. We just finished a 5 week tour around Turkey where we used this kettle daily. We did get quite a bit of mineral build up, but it would usually scale off by itself and not attach too firmly to the plastic. In other kettles I have used vinegar to remove minerals. We love this kettle and will hopefully take it on many future trips.

Did anyone find an electric tea kettle that is 100% stainless from inside? No plastic exposure, whatsoever, from inside?

The interior of the kettle is all stainless steel, except for a couple of plastic parts. The rubber seals around the temperature probe and of course the water level gauge which is plastic and the removable water screen.

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 of the kettle is all stainless steel, except for the plastic window

no, there was no plastic but the plunger came apart after the second times of use. I'm going to return it.

After reading some of the 3 star reviews - Yes it does contain some plastic: max water marker and some on the lid. So, if you're like me looking for an all non-plastic interior kettle, this one is not it either.

The only plastic part on the inside is the removable filter, we have detected no taste at all from it.. The kettle although expensive is the best kettle we have owned, the ability to change the temperature is just an added bonus which I have found very useful...excellent kettle and worth every penny

Yes there is plastic on the inside bottom of the Frother. It does clean fairly easy and works great!

The inside of the kettle itself is all metal except for the two viewing windows which are plastic. They light up bright blue when the unit is turned on. The underside of the lid is plastic. It boils water extremely fast and is very user friendly.
