Plastic? Is there any plastic on the inside, or anywhere that would touch hot water?

There's minimal (but existing) plastic on the inside, from the top of the handle. YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcAjRjv4_xA#t=40s

no plastic present. Unless you consider the handle or lid knob to be plastic. Nothing touches the water but the metal tea kettle. Great kettle!

There isn't any plastic except for the little knobby handle on the lid, and of course, the pot's handle. The only thing I see that MIGHT be aluminum is the little halfround well that the "pipe" sits in.

No plastic ANYWHERE inside!!! We were so thrilled to finally find one that didn't allow plastic to touch our water that we bought a second one for my husband to take to work. Highly recommend...we are both really happy with this Precise Heat pot...and it's a great price compared to all the other fancy brands that have PLASTIC inside!

No. There is no plastic. And the coffee is very hot. I use liquid cre creamer so it is till hot after I add it.

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.

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).

Yes. All except for the heating element of course. The plastic is good quality and keeps the unit cool. I had one 20 years ago. It too was plastic and lasted the years until the heating element died. This one is designed better, works better, and cleans up easier. Don't worry about the plastic.

The interior of the Hot Shot is metal. The inner part of the spout is metal and the surrounding part it plastic. The water dispenses from the center of the interior chamber, so there isn't an actual spout.

The water does not touch any plastic during heating. You can open the lid to pour with out touching plastic. The only contact would be condensation dripping back in. I don't know if that is a danger if it is not bpa free.

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

The one I have heat up to 42 F, so plastic is no big problem but not efficient and wasting electricity. I do use metal water tank and works well.

The interior is stainless -- can't guarantee there are no plastic parts exposed, but the stainless reservoir was part of my criteria. It's not lined. But when you dispense water, there is enough steam I think I would hesitate to put this near unfinished wood, for example, under cabinets. It's not from when it's heating, but when you dispense the water -- can't help a plume of moist then!

There is no plastic inside the kettle. When I peer inside the kettle, it has a smooth/brushed stainless interior. No plastic, no coils. I love it.

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.

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.

I like you am concerned about plastic and aluminum parts. This boiler has no aluminum or plastic parts at all, except the handle which does not come in contact with the water. The inside of the lid is hollow. It's stainless steel and snaps into place. Some people have comented on it getting hot, but if you just hold the handle, and not the lid itself it's not so hot that you can't hold onto it. We are very happy with this water boiler, we use it every day for pour over coffee. We'd be suffering over stove boiled water without it. Heats water in less than 4 minutes.
