Is the interior bottom of the vessel made of glass? I am trying to see if the water touches a stainless steel bottom. Thanks!

Could Hamilton Beach assure us that the bottom heating unit is Stainless steel. Why would it rust. Please clarify aHamilton Beach. We dont want a mysterious metal alloy

Water does touch the stainless steel bottom; however, it does not give the water a "metal taste." I love the kettle and highly recommend it.

I don't know about the vessel that holds the water. The thermal cup is stainless steel. You would have to contact Kitchen Aid and ask.

It is aluminium with a nice non-stick coating. I think the vessel is a standard size and a stainless option is available somewhere on amazon.

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

The screen is stainless or it would have rusted by now. The part on the strainer looks to be stainless. The rod part is hard to tell maybe a different quality of stainless then the other parts? I don't think there is any aluminum in it. Is it just me or does "Mike Robison" sound like he is pitching this product? It's as easy to clean as any other French press that i have used anywhere in the world. What qualifies any of these people besides the manufacture to state the materials it is made of? The description does say all stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and strong BPA free plastic.

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

It is metal inside too....not plastic. Mine is discolored a bit because of hard well water.

I don't know. It doesn't say on the bottom. So, I will assume that it is not stainless steel. Sorry, I couldn't help more.

Yes the tank is made of glass. The base of the tank and the lid are made of plastic though.

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.

I have the white version of this model. Yes, the sides and bottom are stainless steel, but the lid has plastic on the underside painted to appear stainless steel. When steam rises and heats the underside of the lid, the water will run back to the bottom and bring down any potential plastic chemical. It's not entirely stainless steel interior, I'm upset.

Yes the inside is all stainless steel. BUT... the stainless steel parts of the mug become unattached to the plastic parts. There is no insulation around the outside of the stainless steel cup part. After trying to glue it back together, it didnt work and it went into the trash. Hope this is helpful!

No, it is glass. I wanted stainless but couldn't find one that met out other criteria so we compromised on this one feature. We've had it for several months and think it is great. Keeps liquid hot for 4+ hours at the temperature we like.

I Purchased about 2 years ago. Glass bubble on top and to my knowledge, it was all steel with wood handle. Water was boiled on gas flame with no evidence of color change on inside or out. Could not see or feel a coating inside, if thas what you mean.

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.

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.

Short answer: yes it's stainless steel Aside from the rubber gasket and gold plated decorated parts it is all stainless. Everything that comes in contact with the water/coffee is stainless steel.
