Is the inside polished stainless or brushed stainless? How hard is it to clean the inside and the lid?

Mine is a 34 ounce but I would expect the inside to be the same and it appears to be brushed. Mine is, in fact, a little stained already. I can't get my hand inside so I use a wooden or plastic stirring spoon handle to swish a wash cloth or sponge around inside. I use a drying towel the same way. I don't find it difficult to clean the lid inside and out.

The inside is stainless steal. This is my second one I have owned. I love it and would by it again. I do use filtered water in it so it stays clean and shiny

Yes it is polished stainless steel. My one complaint however is that the corners are very sharp. My housekeeper cut her hand on it. We've had to put corner protectors up.

I am not sure of how the brushed stainless performs compared to polished. What I can say is that I am very satisfied with the brushed stainless version. No need to go with the grain from what I can see. Using Bar Keepers is certainly a good idea to keep your cookware looking great. What I would avoid at all cost, is using overly abrasive material when cleaning as the surface can be scratched.

I found that the inside was not stainless steel as advertised, and returned for credit, so I can't answer your specific question. I do hope knowing this might help you decide. It is very nice looking, however.

Mine is brushed stainless. So it has a sheen to it, but not like chrome finishes. I throw my around in cleaning and it looks fine to me. Really enjoying it.

The interior is stainless. Only the cap is plastic. We really like it, it has never leaked and one goes to school with our son every day.

The inside of the lid is plastic. The rest of the inside is stainless steel.

No proof, but it looks like brushed stainless to me. Aluminum changes after washing over time - the coffee pot inside has not changed.

Shiny stainless steel,with stainless lid. No non stick surface on inside. Mine works perfectly on my induction cooktop.

No it is smooth inside. On the OUTSIDE there is the bottom part which is more of a brushed look finish and the top is a very shiny glossy look.

I think it is polished. I bought it as a gift, and never really looked at it. The "boys in the shop" were delighted that they didn't have to step on bottle caps anymore.

Brushed. I have it on my stove and dishwasher and it fits right in with my stainless steel refrigerator. They blend right in.

The lid is black on the stainless option. The brushed stainless doesn't show finger-prints and is more matte; also has a metal lid to help block odors.

Yes, it is entirely stainless steel inside. The only plastic components are the ones you see in the picture, including the par that the lid screws onto. I've been really happy with mine!

It is not difficult to clean. It is not a nonstick surface but it is a very high grade stainless steel.
