Is the liquid inside the container exposed to any plastic from the lid? Is the tea strainer made from a plastic mesh or a metal mesh?

The tea strainer is made out of metal. The lid has a plastic ( about 1/8" thick around). So yes, if the bottle is not standing up, the liquid will touch some plastic area on the lid.

The previous answer is correct: the cap assembly is lined with some type of plastic. Since the metal part of the bottle screws inside of the plastic, most of the plastic in the lid is covered unless some liquid gets down into the threads somehow. I would guess the area of plastic exposure is a square inch or a so. The label states the bottle is BPA free.

It's all plastic. The body is plastic and the strainer is metal with a plastic lip. The green cap is plastic as well.

The working parts are all stainless steel, but of course the base and handle will be of a plastic material but nothing that comes into contact with the water contents. At the back of the kettle there is a clear plastic window that shows the amount of water in the kettle. This appears to be a small reservoir and again does not appear to be part of the main water containment area. The filter inside is of a high density nylon mesh. The lid exterior is plastic but the lid interior appears to be stainless steel.Hope that helps.

It is, plastic don't put it on the stove, I just heat, the water in a, metal pan and pour it on the tea.

There is a metal very fine hole tea strainer that is removable. You definitely can pour it with the strainer in. It also can be used without the strainer too. This tea pot is the best I have ever used.

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.

Hello! The only plastic part inside is the water measuring stick, the metal round inside is containing heating equipment and it has no seams inside kettle so it's perfectly safe to use, no plastic. I've got this kettle for my mom a year ago and it`s the best one from all we had, still working, no plastic taste. Please enjoy!

There actually several plastic parts that contact the water, not just the window. There are two screw covers/washers on the bottom, and a strainer that the water passes through when you pour it (to keep sediment that forms on the bottom of the pot out of your tea). This strainer is removable, but the other plastic parts are not.

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!

There is no plastic inside the lid. Also there is no plastic inside the whistle either. The only steam contact you would get is through the whistle. I like this kettle because the lid closes so tight you will not see any steam from the lid. Boils quicker as well.

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).

The filter is plastic but it seems pretty durable and has not gotten stained by tea leaves to date.

It is plastic. It does get stained from the tea. I am on my second pot and love it.

The teapot is stainless steel. The handle and the piece on the cover are plastic.

The mesh tea holder and lid can both go in the top shelf of the dishwasher, so are very easily cleaned. The carafe section, however, can only be wiped out with a damp rag but I've had mine for several months now and that hasn't really been an issue for me. As far as removing loose tea from the mesh, hold it upside down, give the side a tap and they fall right out!

The container is glass but the lid is plastic. Looks like stainless steel but is not. However, I use it everyday and still looks and works great. I would advise to wash by hand and no dishwasher. I do not regret my purchase. I put hot water in the base that it sits in to warm the honey or it comes out to slow.

No spout. Yes, you drink the tea right through the strainer after the screw top lid is removed. I've used mine for several months and it has held up well with use and cleaning...I just wish it was about 6-8 oz bigger.
