Are there any plastic parts that make contact with the hot liquids?

The tip of the steamer wand is plastic, but of good quality. I've never had any problems with it and I've made hundreds of cappuccinos. Just need to dismantle it when your done, just twist counter clockwise and pull. Then wash it we'll and reassemble. Never had any problems or noted any degradation.

No, there is no plastic inside the lid or the pot. I did a lot of looking before I bought mine, and I think this kettle is definitely the solution if you don't want any plastic coming in contact with your water!

Yes there is plastic parts, the basket and the column itself is plastic as well as the inside of the Percolator. It does touch the liquid, but I can tell you that you can't taste any plastic taste and that it for the money is a good Percolator. If you decide to buy it, make sure you buy the little disk filters from Melitta. It say's you don't need them, but it work better with the little flat disk filters. Hope this was of help to you.

Are there any similar appliances like this that don't have water in contact with plastic?

Yes. I have used plastic bowls. I doesn't get hot enough to melt plastic. Every one at work now is jealous of my Mini Hot box.

Yes, there are plastic parts, but they are at the top of the kettle, and the water does not touch them.

Yes. The heating element is hidden in the bottom, so the liquid doesn't touch it directly.

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, I have used the plastic funnel and the spacer several times and have not had trouble with it melting with the hot liquids,etc. However, neither would withstand a direct heat source (such as a stove burner).

There is no hard plastic in this cup. The green parts you see are a rubbery silicon-type material. So liquids can touch the green gasket at the top, but that's it. The rest is all glass.

Yes, the liquid does come into contact with plastic. Yes, there is a plastic dropper inside. It is a vegan company, so I would think the plastic is BPA-free and all of that stuff. I'm confident they make sure the bottle is what it should be, but I am not certain.

No plastic parts. All stainless steel and really a wonderful dehydrator that I highly recommend!

No plastic parts come into contact with the coffee. Drawer is all wood. Only the lid, but usually I don't need so much coffee to actuall fill it all the way to the lid. Hope this helps.

I'd be worried about scalding the milk next to the element. I added a customer image to show the element is set in the plastic. I've been considering heating a cup set in boiling water.

Of course there is plastic in the lid. Truthfully, if you are looking for a way to heat water without any contact with plastic whatsoever, your best bet is an open pot on the stove. Even stovetop kettles have plastic spout caps, or worse, soldering. Petrochemicals are inevitable. Just bless and eat.

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.
