Is the interior made of all non-plastic parts so the water does not come in contact with plastic?

The water reservoir is made of plastic and the filter holder is plastic. This I've found is typical of other coffee makers including Krupps. The caraffe interior is stainless.

Everything the water goes through, except I assume the heating unit, is plastic. Next time I am going back to a Chemex and a Stainless thermos. To insure hot coffee for a time make sure to preheat the thermos.

It appears to me the entire interior is made of plastic. However, we use filtered water and have never tasted any plastic. We are genuine coffee snobs. We use high quality coffee that we grind ourselves. This is an excellent coffee maker and probably the most simplistic one we've ever owned. We had to go through a lot of coffee makers before we found one we loved. I'd recommend it to anyone.

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.

THANK YOU! For informing of the plastic components! I would NOT want to purchase this at this price and find out its critical parts (inner parts) are plastic! You've saved me a lot of hassle. Looks like french press or pour over coffee is the only way to avoid plastic...

As is noted below the reservoir and lid are mostly plastic, the interior of the pot appears to me to be stainless steel. I have had very good results with this unit. I rinse it with clean cold water after each use and occasionally clean it with hot soapy water and small long handled brush, give it a good rinse and let it air dry. I never once have had bitter coffee, and also would recommend it to anyone.

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.

The packaging label states that none of the parts that are in contact with the water flow have BPA. For the other structural components it would hopefully not matter...

No. It has a smooth edge and the water does not stay inside. It works well for us.

The top of the unit, where you put the water jug opening in, is stainless steel. I'm not sure about the entire inside.

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

Based on that video reviews on Youtube, there is plastic inside. Regardless if water touches the plastic or not, the condensation from the steam will drip back down to the rest of the boiling water. This is the reason why A LOT of people now are asking for totally non-plastic material inside.

There is plastic inside the body - above the area where the water level is and near the spout. The lid's knob is plastic.

Yes, it has contact with plastic. The window showing the amount of water in the kettle is plastic.

i see no plastic elements inside the kettle. The underside appears to be all stainless.

The one I have is all glass, the only plastic part is the gasket that is between the top and the bottom unit and it does not come into contact with either the water or the coffee. So no, the water or coffee does not come into contact with plastic.

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.

Yes. The only non plastic part is the metal screen and the inner glass layer. The cap (two parts) are made of plastic and there are rubber rings too. I have deemed the product acceptable for my personal anti-BPA standards. After nearly a year of constant use, the plastic cap still weighs the "same" so if it is degrading into my drinks, then it is happening at less than one part per billion over a year.

Technically the interior is 98% stainless steel but there is a little plastic piece about the size of a button at the base on the inside that allows the water to flow into a chamber by the handle that tells you how much water you've put in the pot. So even though it is stainless steel the water you are boiling does come into contact with a little bit of plastic. I do like this kettle but I think it is a lesser of evils compared to what is out there because it only lasted 6 months before the heating mechanism stopped working and the fact that it isn't 100% stainless. That being said, unless I wanted to fork out 4 times the money I would by this one again.

Well if that's what the material is, then yes, there is no plastic inside other then the piece on the bottom. That was part of my issues, the veggies tasted terrible IMO, but that was also because there was no drainage so all the veggies were sitting in a pool of water.

No, there is no plastic, except the handle. The plunger and its components are all metal, so yes they are all in contact with the water. The lid is chrome but since it is a high dome, it doesn't come into contact with the water.

I couldn't see any information about it on the unit, but water in it is mostly in contact with stainless steel interior, so even if the plastic is not BPAfree there is only short period when water is exposed to it.
