Is there any plastic in the cover or inside the kettle?

Yes, the inner bottom seal keeps extruding small pieces into the water. Anyone else have this issue?

The only plastic inside the kettle is the black plastic pull/handle attached to the spout strainer. It can be easily removed.

Yes there is. There is actually plenty of plastic on it. I don't notice that it is an issue however, I don't feel the plastic getting warm while it is on the burner.

No. The interior, including the lid, is completely metal. The only plastic is the black parts you see in the photo. I hope this helps! ;)

The only sign of what seems to be some form of plastic is on the small filter at the spout. Does not seem to cause any problem!! We are highly satisfied with this kettle and would recommend it to you.

The only plastic part on the inside is the removable filter, we have detected no taste at all from it.. The kettle although expensive is the best kettle we have owned, the ability to change the temperature is just an added bonus which I have found very useful...excellent kettle and worth every penny

Yes, it is plastic. I wrote to Krups, and they said that all their products are BPA free. (There is also a little bit of plastic inside the kettle.) I'm very happy with the product. I should also mention that I don't use the infuser. I just use the kettle to heat water.

No, there are no plastic parts. This is a lovely teapot. I love it and I get a ton of compliments on it. Enjoy!

Yes, there is plastic inside the kettle. There is a part that holds the plastic handle that connects to the inside of the kettle along with a silicone washer and some metal screws. That plastic piece collects steam which will then drip into the water inside the kettle. There is also a silicone washer around the thermometer. If it's pure silicone then that wouldn't be considered plastic but it's hard to tell if it's pure silicone without any additives.

No plastic inside or outside lid. All stainless steel. Great tea pot, highly recommend .

The inside is plastic. But I just transfer it to stainless steel mug after it's brewed.

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 fill gauge (you can see it under the handle) is plastic. It is open to inside of the kettle.

I don't see any plastic on this tea kettle at all. The top part of the handle and the knob on the lid is a rubberized or silicone material and neither come in contact with steam. Hope this helps.

I called the company and was told that all plastic in the kettle is BPA-free. Glad there are others who are concerned about this as well :)

Yes, there are plastic parts, but they are at the top of the kettle, and the water does not touch them.

Nothing interior except inside lid is a plastic type material , which the water doesn't touch and kettle automatically cuts off immediately once boiled , so probsbly little risk of BPA. Perhaps ask the mfg if its BPA free & material type. . I'm particular about these things too, but felt it wouldn't be an issue.

The only plastic I see is the filter holder at the spout and the view windows along the side of the kettle, otherwise, all else appears to be metal.

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!

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.

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