Is there any plastic inside the kettle?

There is a small plastic tab that anchors the top of the handle but it is above the fill line so water never touches the plastic.

The top of the handle secures to the inside of the kettle and is plastic. It is only at the top of the kettle, well above the highest level you can fill water to.

There is a one inch square plastic part inside, near the top, where the handle connects. It is above the max fill line so no water touches it.

P.S. if you buy the accessory flow restrictor from Bonavita, those are plastic and sit in the base of the gooseneck inside the kettle.

There is a small piece of plastic on the inside at the top of the handle, this piece attaches the handle to the kettle, but it does not touches the water, since it is higher than the maximum level of water.

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.

The only plastic exposed to the water in the kettle is the sight window that shows the water level. Other wise it is all stainless steel.

The kettle is stainless steel inside. The only plastic inside the kettle that may touch water when full is the frame that holds a filter at the spout.

Yes, there is a little plastic piece that tells you where to fill the water to. Other than that no other plastic inside kettle.

The only plastic part on the inside is the removable filter, we have detected no taste at all from it.. The kettle although expensive is the best kettle we have owned, the ability to change the temperature is just an added bonus which I have found very useful...excellent kettle and worth every penny

No plastic inside. However, I had several other issues with this coffee maker, but it all comes down to very bad tasting coffee. I do not think the water was hot enough. Coffee was always bitter.

The kettle is completely stainless steel on the inside. There are two small BPA plastic covers for two bolts at the bottom and BPA plastic window along the side with the measurements. The pour spout is also Stainless Steel.

Anyone who thinks the interior is all steel did not look carefully at all. R. Roebuck is correct. I just received my kettle an hour ago, and while the bottom of the inside is steel the sides inside are entirely plastic. It's a bit hard to tell because they try to make it look like steel, but after 10 minutes of testing I am 100% sure it's plastic (different sound when tapped, different temperature than the steel bottom, etc). Avoid this kettle if you do not want plastic touching your water.

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.

No, there are no plastic parts inside the kettle. So water does not touch non plastic parts.

The interior of the kettle is all stainless steel, except for a couple of plastic parts. The rubber seals around the temperature probe and of course the water level gauge which is plastic and the removable water screen.

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 only plastic on the kettle itself is the handle and cover. The kettle is stainless steel. I would think this is a question for the manufacturer.

I just went to Target looking for an electric kettle and NONE of the 3 brands had info on what the inside is made of. I am also not going to buy a product made of plastic that I am boiling drining water in on a daily basis.

The entire kettle is plastic, including the inside body. However, we did not notice any adverse taste or odor from the plastic. We just finished a 5 week tour around Turkey where we used this kettle daily. We did get quite a bit of mineral build up, but it would usually scale off by itself and not attach too firmly to the plastic. In other kettles I have used vinegar to remove minerals. We love this kettle and will hopefully take it on many future trips.

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.
