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!

The Only plastic parts are the underside of the lid and a little on the inner part of the spout - otherwise all metal surfaces

I have not seen that it touches plastic anywhere. There is a silicon gasket between the glass metal part of the lid, but it doesn't get liquid on it.

The only sign of what seems to be some form of plastic is on the small filter at the spout. Does not seem to cause any problem!! We are highly satisfied with this kettle and would recommend it to you.

It goes from stainless steel into glass, there might be a small amount of contact with plastic as it passes through the spigot into the glass collection container and also when pouring out of the collection container it might touch the plastic lid of the glass decanter. As the water passes through it is warm not hot so it should be relatively safe for anyone with plastic sensitivities.

Are there any similar appliances like this that don't have water in contact with plastic?

Only stainless touches the liquid. There is plastic in the lid, but it doesn't touch the liquid when the lid is screwed on.

The water will touch the plastic lid, it won't touch rubber. As much as I like this product, initially, it broke within a month. I accidentally dropped it and it shattered. If you're not clumsy, this is a good product.

There is no plastic in this teakettle. The water is held in a glass teapot with metal on the bottom. Maybe the base unit is plastic, but the water does not come in contact with that.

If you fill the kettle all the way up, a very little bit of plastic near the spout touches the water. If you don't fill it all the way up, no plastic touches the water.

No, there is no plastic inside the lid or the pot. I did a lot of looking before I bought mine, and I think this kettle is definitely the solution if you don't want any plastic coming in contact with your water!

No problems with the dishwasher. I put all my plastics on the top rack and haven't had a problem.

Jane, the answer is no, there are not any plastic parts which make contact with the water. Also, the unit is great and is value for dollar. I highly recommend.

There is a heavy plastic liner in the holder, If you tap the water off, not much will accumulate.

No it well stay in the sink! But I have found that the green plastic part that connects to the faucet sprays water all over the kitchen counter. I had to put a rag over it to keep the water from spraying all over the place.

No. Just a little near the spout, but you'd have to fill it far past the fill line for water to boil against the plastic.

If you are trying to avoid 100% contact with plastic, then this kettle is not the answer for you. Yes, steam will collect on the inside of the lid and drip down into the SS kettle, and water will be poured out across the plastic framed strainer at the spout. While I am in the process of minimizing my own use of plastics, I have been using this fine little kettle several times a day for the past year for my frequent tea consumption, and will continue to until it stops working.
