Is the inside all steel or are there plastic components that come in contact with the water?

Anyone who thinks the interior is all steel did not look carefully at all. R. Roebuck is correct. I just received my kettle an hour ago, and while the bottom of the inside is steel the sides inside are entirely plastic. It's a bit hard to tell because they try to make it look like steel, but after 10 minutes of testing I am 100% sure it's plastic (different sound when tapped, different temperature than the steel bottom, etc). Avoid this kettle if you do not want plastic touching your water.

There is a filter in the spout that is plastic. I have had this kettle about two weeks now and have not found that the plastic gives off a taste, which was a concern of mine. If I leave the hot water sitting in the kettle with the lid on and then open it, I can detect a slight odor, and I don't reheat that water to use again. Finding a kettle without any interior plastic has been a challenge, but overall I like this kettle.

The inside is all steel, but the pour spout has a screen over the spout that has plastic components to it, and the water does pour through a plastic grid that holds the screen in place. The underside of the lid is also plastic. This kettle is NOT completely lined inside with plastic as the comment below states, it is steel inside. Other than the first few days of use, I have never experienced any odors or change of taste in the water. The day I got the kettle, I boiled several pots of water, and poured out the contents until the "new" smell and taste went away. I have had this kettle for several months now and am completely happy with it. no smells and no change of taste to the water.

It appears to be all stainless steel - no plastic components whatsoever. Item is very well made also.

2 small plastic buttons touch the water; they hold the exterior water level gauge. The rest of the interior is stainless.

Exterior surface is plastic. Internal parts and couplings are metal. Probably brass. It's an attractive and very sturdy shower head.

Glass but there are plastic components (the inside of the base and the moving parts).

There is no plastic in contact with water on the inside of the samovar. Everything that is in contact is either tempered glass or stainless steel. I hope that helps!

The inside is plastic, and the bottom is metal. It heats water really fast. I love this kettle.

It's made of Plastic. Stainlless steel warm up the water. It is perfect like it is.

It is all stainless steel except for the filter and pump housing that is located inside the upper bowl. I am still pleased with it. However due to my cat liking to dip her paws into the water, I need to clean it twice a week but that isn't a problem. It is very easy to clean.

It's solid plastic and there are metal sensors that determine the temp of the water. I haven't noticed any water on the inside of this thing. I take it out of the tub after I determine the temp, so it's not constantly immersed. I do this more to preserve battery life than anything else.

Plastic. In fact, I'm pretty sure the entire assembly is. However, it does feel sturdy. I've dropped mine in the sink a few times and it still shows no damage/wear.

The exterior is plastic. However, the inside is metal and I've had no issues with the plastic melting.

The interior of the kettle is all stainless steel, except for a couple of plastic parts. The rubber seals around the temperature probe and of course the water level gauge which is plastic and the removable water screen.

No, nothing plastic inside. The only plastic on it are on the top cover and handle. I've been using it since Christmas and it's really the best kettle I've ever had. It whistles just loud enough to hear, and the whistle is actually kind of pleasant sounding rather than the annoying sound you hear from a lot of them.

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!

Nope, there's no plastic on the inside whatsoever, except at the very top but the water would never touch it.

There is a one inch square plastic part inside, near the top, where the handle connects. It is above the max fill line so no water touches it.
