Is there any plastic in the kettle that the water comes in contact with?

We are not sure of this, we recommend contacting the manufacturer for those specs.

Yes, the body of the kettle is 100% stainless. The plastic handle and lid do not touch the water at all -- the plastic parts are only on the outside.

Yes, it does have plastic in contact with the water (not much, but some), plus the lid and spout filter parts. It's still enough plastic that I can taste and smell the chemicals which leech into the water. Disappointing, because I bought this kettle thinking it might be better than some of the others. As far as I can tell, there isn't a single plastic-free electric kettle on the market (in the US) right now.

I am searching for a tea kettle and will bypass this since it appears that the water comes in contact with the plastic surface; after doing some research I've learned that BPA Free products have been tested and are not BPA Free in many of the tests. Glass all the way for me.

Nope, bootom of the kettle's lid is plastic. Water level indicator is plastic. Plastic handle is also protruding thru steel body into interior.

The plastic from the top of the handle is above the fill line on the inside of the kettle: there should be no chance of plastic leeching in any case, even from that small piece of plastic.

Technically the answer is yes. However, according to the published report by The Endocrine Society, most plastics leach similar hormone disrupting compounds that can actually be more potent and dangerous than BPA. So, freshly boiled water from this kettle does has contact with the plastic on lid as it is poured out, and yes, if you are concerned about hormone disrupting chemicals ( and really everyone should be!) then it is not a great choice. I did buy an all stainless steel kettle on Amazon that had a plastic ring on top that I replaced with a drawer pull ( stainless steel screw) from hardware store. Got the idea from a reviewer. Will post the brand in later reply. hope this helps, I know how challenging it is to be aware of these things.

The kettle is stainless steel. The only plastic is the handle and switch. I have no idea if it is BPA free.

There is a filter in the spout that is plastic. I have had this kettle about two weeks now and have not found that the plastic gives off a taste, which was a concern of mine. If I leave the hot water sitting in the kettle with the lid on and then open it, I can detect a slight odor, and I don't reheat that water to use again. Finding a kettle without any interior plastic has been a challenge, but overall I like this kettle.

There is BPA free plastic in contact with the water. This is a safe kind of plastic.

I also found this difficult to tell - at first glance it does seem like the glass container is a complete unit sitting on top of the metal plate, but once I reached my hand in and had a closer look, I would agree that the water does seem to touch the metal. That being said, the water doesn't touch any plastic components, which I'm more concerned about. I love this kettle, it works great!

I opted for this after deciding to avoid plastic kettles...There are a couple of tiny plastic rivets inside the kettle body and a detachable plastic filter, but otherwise the kettle body appears to be all stainless steel.

Yes there is plastic in the lid. If you keep the water level below max the boiling water wont touch the top. I'll only come in contact when pouring.

I don't know. But I am not concerned as there is no heated water that actually touches the plastic. The heating chamber is stainless steel,

YES, there is plastic on the inside. It is at the very top of the jug where the handle attaches. The handle only attaches at the inside top not the full length of the handle. I personally believe it is not safe. This is not the kettle I am looking for.

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 handle is plastic, and the end of the overflow tube inside the kettle is plastic. the mesh filter is also plastic. but aside from those small pieces, the interior and exterior are metal.
