I bought one of these and the base is anodized metal, but the interior side walls are plastic.

Have you found a totally stainless steel one? The only one I can see on Amazon is the Precise HeatTM 1.5 Liter Electric Wtr Kettle

The kettle is metal. The inside is dark and appears coated. The handle is a hard plastic.

The Bodum kettle has a stainless steel interior base, but the sides are plastic. It is a very good kettle, by the way.

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.

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 all steel, but the pour spout has a screen over the spout that has plastic components to it, and the water does pour through a plastic grid that holds the screen in place. The underside of the lid is also plastic. This kettle is NOT completely lined inside with plastic as the comment below states, it is steel inside. Other than the first few days of use, I have never experienced any odors or change of taste in the water. The day I got the kettle, I boiled several pots of water, and poured out the contents until the "new" smell and taste went away. I have had this kettle for several months now and am completely happy with it. no smells and no change of taste to the water.

I don't know what kettle the others are describing, but my Chef's Choice, brand new, has plastic around the spout on the inside, a plastic sensor cover on the inside and the transparent part of the lid is plastic on the inside. It also has an exposed heating element making it more difficult to clean. I'm going to return it.

Does this kettle have any type of coating on the inside? I react to Teflon and am sending another back for that reason.

The inside is plastic, and the bottom is metal. It heats water really fast. I love this kettle.

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.

It is a single wall construction kettle. So the interior is the same as the exterior - stainless for the majority with the plastic windows both interior and exterior.

As I mention in my review, while the bottom of the interior is stainless steel the sides of the interior are all plastic. It's not obvious at first, and I can see why some people didn't notice, but about 70% of the interior is plastic. If you don't want toxic chemicals from plastic leaching in to your boiling water than I suggest that you avoid this kettle.

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.

It is metal inside too....not plastic. Mine is discolored a bit because of hard well water.

Wondering the same thing--do you know about the interior of the tea kettle? thanks!

There isn't any plastic in the kettle, other than a small mesh filter for the spout to block particulates from being poured out. The rest of the kettle interior is stainless steel, VERY durable and sturdy. It's a Cuisinart after all!

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.
