Is the main interior unit plastic or glass? I try to avoid any hot liquid touching plastic. If plastic, BPA free plastic?

I also hate having anything hot in plastic as well. However, it is plastic inside and out, with the exception of the blades and heat coil. The manual does not specify whether it's BPA--free or not, but it says that the body is made of: ABS, PP. You could contact LGLivart website to ask them. The hot slurry is only in there for 30 minutes before it beeps to empty the unit, though.

As I mention in my review, while the bottom of the interior is stainless steel the sides of the interior are all plastic. It's not obvious at first, and I can see why some people didn't notice, but about 70% of the interior is plastic. If you don't want toxic chemicals from plastic leaching in to your boiling water than I suggest that you avoid this kettle.

The inside is plastic except for the bottom which is metal and is over the heating element. I've only given it a test run so far as we will be using it for travel, but it seems to work fine.

This I a BpA free plastic. The glass is very small. Works well for my 2 year old.

The inside is plastic. It's double-walled foam insulated. The interior wall is high-impact plastic and exterior wall is stainless steel.

The inside is plastic. I bought it for my brother and he loves everything about it (the cup, not the plastic).

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.

Sorry if this had been made clear elsewhere, but is this thing completely stainless steel on the inside? Like many others, I don't want anything that has plastic parts getting exposed to the boiling water every time...Thanks!John

This is a glass pot. I don't think there would be any BPA in it. The bottom interior looks like stainless steel. I'm not sure how the two are joined. So far there isn't any leaking. It's fast and I enjoy the blue light feature.

No, it's plastic. Mine hasn't leaked though. The glass is a little thin but overall it looks and functions great.

Scott, I have had my unit for less than a year, and really enjoy its fast operation. The 'interior' is all stainless steel, with a sensor at the bottom. The 'plastic' is a circumference at the top of the unit, the handle and the outside bast of the unit. None of them touch the water. There is a small screen on the inside by the pouring spout that is a filter, and a bit of nonn-stainles steel will be exposed that touches the water when pouring. I have not found any problems with my unit and use it 4 or 5 times per week. Hope this helps. --Richard Kelman

it seems like it's glass......it's definitely not plastic. it works great and there's no issues with mine at all. I'm very happy with it.

It's plastic inside, but it's a good sturdy plastic that doesn't have to be replaced like some of the other machines. No more parts to buy except for your essential oils. It does leave a little bit in the bottom of the cup that I have to clean out if I want to change scents. The porcelain exterior does really look much nicer than all the plastic ones, we're very pleased with it.

I have placed the plastic parts and gaskets in the dishwasher on high tempature wash. It cleans up good. I would not buy another one because it is hard to take apart to clean. I do not put the glass insert in the dishwasher.

The inner part is all glass. The plastic just covers the glass which makes it convenient to place on hard surfaces and keeps the outside cool to the touch.

The person who gave a so-so review mentioned that the plastic is BPA free. They did not dislike the unit that much.....but I remember reading that review and that's what they said if that helps.

It is not metal inside at all. It's plastic. But whatever I put in it stays the temperature it began with for several hours. I'm thinking no about the portable water heater, but I haven't tried it and like I said the inside is plastic not stainless steel.
