is there any BPA plastic used inside of this kettle?

From Kitchenaid live chat customer service: "All of the plastic on that Electric Kettle is BPA Free. The Dual Wall Construction keeps heat in while leaving the outside surface cool to the touch. The interior wall is plastic BPA Free coated to protect the interior from mineral buildup."

Hi. You will have to ask kitchenaid regarding that. The inside is stainless though. I doubt if there is any plastic. thank you

There are two small BPA clear plastic coverings over bolts on bottom....of course the plastic on side showing measurements. On the top the pour spout protector on top is plastic to keep water from spilling out from the top, but the pour spout itself is stainless steel. The rest of the inside is completely stainless steel.

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 only plastic on the kettle itself is the handle and cover. The kettle is stainless steel. I would think this is a question for the manufacturer.

I don't know about BPA free, but the lid is the only plastic part inside. The handle is totally external. It's a very nice kettle and works well. Inside is totally stainless, except for hard plastic lid that covers it.

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.

The documentation for the kettle does not say it is BPA free. Since the pot has two plastic viewing inserts I suppose it is possible for it to emit BPA.

The inside of the Bodum kettle is steel on the bottom and plastic on the sides. It works great!

The plastic inside this kettle is marked as #5. #5 plastic is a Polypropylene which is BPA free. Not convinced, I called the company and the representative assured me that this product was indeed BPA free. I am not sure why they are not advertising it as BPA free, however.

I have no idea if the plastic contains BPA. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer for the answer to that question. The plastic is a very hard plastic, not like the plastic used to make containers for liquids. The only contact the tea has with the plastic is when you pour the tea out and it runs over the ring at the spout.

No, there is a little plastic as well, which they say is BPA free. I'm sure you can call the company and ask to confirm.

No plastic, but I started getting headaches. I stopped using this boilr and started boiling water in a pan on the stove top and my headaches went away.

This is completely stainless steel inside the kettle. Only the lid, handle, and base are plastic. All the parts that touch water are stainless.

no plastic present. Unless you consider the handle or lid knob to be plastic. Nothing touches the water but the metal tea kettle. Great kettle!

No plastic at all. The kettle is pure stainless steel. I have to wear the oveglove whenever I use it, but I am used to it.

I just went to Target looking for an electric kettle and NONE of the 3 brands had info on what the inside is made of. I am also not going to buy a product made of plastic that I am boiling drining water in on a daily basis.

The entire lid is stainless steel. The only plastic type material is the handle you see in black and the base. The water never comes in contact with any plastic. This is a great kettle!

The handle is plastic, and the end of the overflow tube inside the kettle is plastic. the mesh filter is also plastic. but aside from those small pieces, the interior and exterior are metal.
