Is there any plastic in the interior? Is there any plastic at all inside this tea kettle?

The water level indicator has a stainless steel cover on the back- which is what you see from the inside of the pitcher. The water is still exposed to that amount of plastic- and also the plastic circle on the lid when it is boiling.

No plastic at all. The kettle is pure stainless steel. I have to wear the oveglove whenever I use it, but I am used to it.

The plastic inside this kettle is marked as #5. #5 plastic is a Polypropylene which is BPA free. Not convinced, I called the company and the representative assured me that this product was indeed BPA free. I am not sure why they are not advertising it as BPA free, however.

YES. I just bought this (and returned it) Jan 2015. And in the version I got there IS plastic inside. Where the handle meets the container the plastic pokes through inside! The plastic is above the Max fill line, however plastic IS exposed to water. If you're looking for a plastic free kettle look elsewhere! THERE IS PLASTIC INSIDE (all be it a very small amount).

The inside of the lid is plastic; the inside of the kettle is stainless steel. It really doesn't affect the product performance at all. I've had this kettle for at least 3 months now; I love it and use it daily. You don't fill it all the way to the top (there's a max indicator on the side) -- if you follow that guide, the water never comes in contact with the lid or the handle which is also plastic. The plastic stays cool, allowing you to pour without burning yourself.

This kettle does not have plastic material. Only the handle is a rubber type of material foe heat resistance. And no the water doesn't touch that part. I love mine!

There is no plastic at all - even the top of the plunger is stainless steel! This is very high quality, as is the teapot with strainer also available from Frieling.

There is NO plastic inside the the pot. The handle is welded to the side of the pot. The percolator viewer on the lid IS however plastic. Amazon sells universal glass replacement ones though. I bought one and it works just fine. NO PLASTIC:-)

I know.. it's so SOOOOO frusterating trying to find a kettle with no plastic, and NOT made in CHINA... errrr.... I couldn't find an electric one with NO plastic (at least not one I could afford)... but I settled on this one which has the smallest piece of plastic but which doesn't touch the water ever.... and then when you pour there is a plastic filter, but I open the lid when pouring and the plastic never touches the water. And it is made in China if I remember, but I had to settle with it after MUCH research and a few returned kettles which had too much plastic inside. I don't understand WHY they would make a stainless steel kettle and then put plastic inside. Anyways... good luck to you!

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 interior is stainless steel but it has a few small plastic parts. The lid and the filter around the pour spout are both made with plastic parts and hot water does come into contact with them. I don't know if they are BPA free. But the kettle works really well...the water is truly boiling when it clicks off.

The inside is plastic. But I just transfer it to stainless steel mug after it's brewed.

I just purchased this one from amazon and I can happily say that it contains no plastic whatsoever in the inside of the kettle - Precise HeatTM 1.5 Liter Electric Wtr Kettle.

The base of the inside is metal but the rest of the inside is plastic. We are very pleased with this kettle. It is better in general than the last make of electric kettle we had even though it does not boil as fast.

Technically the interior is 98% stainless steel but there is a little plastic piece about the size of a button at the base on the inside that allows the water to flow into a chamber by the handle that tells you how much water you've put in the pot. So even though it is stainless steel the water you are boiling does come into contact with a little bit of plastic. I do like this kettle but I think it is a lesser of evils compared to what is out there because it only lasted 6 months before the heating mechanism stopped working and the fact that it isn't 100% stainless. That being said, unless I wanted to fork out 4 times the money I would by this one again.
