Is the inside of this kettle plastic?

The body is entirely plastic and has a metal element in the bottom of the pot. The element is not covered with anything and it corrodes from continual use. I had two of them and they both did the same thing. I would have metal shards floating in my drinks.

The inside of the kettle is stainless steel. It isn't coated with plastic like some makes are.

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.

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!

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.

I believe the "window" that allows you to see how much water is in the kettle is made of plastic, so yes.

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.

No, there are no plastic parts on the inside. The handle is the only thing that is plastic. It's the reason I bought this one, I too did not want my coffee touching plastic. You'll be good with this one, get it.

I see no plastic inside the kettle at all. Stainless steel and a heating element.

Yes, it is plastic. I wrote to Krups, and they said that all their products are BPA free. (There is also a little bit of plastic inside the kettle.) I'm very happy with the product. I should also mention that I don't use the infuser. I just use the kettle to heat water.

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.

There is no plastic on the interior of the kettle and water doesn't touch any plastic on the kettle in normal use.

No, the inside is plastic! I use mine for continuous brew kombucha as well!

Yes, the fill gauge (you can see it under the handle) is plastic. It is open to inside of the kettle.

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

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.
