Inside of the kettle, is there any mental pipe?

Nothing mental about it. Yes, there is an metal tube that runs through the kettle to heat the water.

The inside of the kettle is stainless steel. It isn't coated with plastic like some makes are.

No there is not from what I can see and feel, it appears that the glass has a lip in the bottom that is mated to the lip of the metal base. I can tell you we use it every day and love it. We have an 1100 watt microwave and this kettle can heat the same amount of water in the same or faster time than the microwave can. Regards

it can be safe to pour boiling water straight from the kettle into the thermos

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.

I don't have the kettle any longer so I cannot answer your question. (Family member left it on stove.) :-( However, I did like the kettle and felt it the price was good.

Hi. Not inside and the handle and lid top are still perfect. I still really like this kettle. There is a little hole in the lid for the whistle and the little flap covering is stainless. Both are great.

I'd like to see the picture. My kettle is now about twelve years old (working very well, thank you), and the fill marker is quite hard and an integral part of the design. I can't imagine anyone even trying to cut it off. If one fills the kettle beyond that mark, the boiling water is apt to spill out over the lid. I'd leave it alone.

Yes, assuming by kettle you mean a teapot? I have this one & several other similar infusers & I use them in teapots all the time. Hope this helps. :-)

No the copper bottom is not exposed inside the kettle. The inside is completely stainless and very nicely finished. The copper is only on the outside of the kettle and is very effective at distributing the heat evenly and quickly and keeping the water hot a long time after the heat is turned off. The only thing to remember with this kettle is "DON'T SET THE HEAT TOO HIGH". It only takes a medium heat to bring the water to a boil in just few minutes. Debbie

Yes. But I don't recommend the kettle. Poor design causes hot steam to reach fingers when pouring.

Yes, there is silicone (or whatever soft material this is) inside the kettle, where the base connects with the glass. It's just a few millimeters wide, but it is there. One probably would not see it, but it's easy to feel with the fingernail.

A very thin metal disc is on the outside bottom. I like this kettle but have to be sure not to turnthe stove too high and/or leave it unattended.

No there is no built in way to hold the cap in the up position. You will be a slave to the Whistle. But, you also won't forget that the Kettle is on the stove.

No, unfortunately. Be very mindful when boiling water. I had to buy a new kettle because I forgot about it on the stove and holes were burned into the copper. I still love this kettle though. Just have to pay attention.

The coil is completely contained. The round black ring at the bottom of the picture is the heating element. There is a small "peg" in the middle of this round plate. The kettle fits on top of the peg. There are no coils exposed.

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.
