I think (I'm not sure) this is made in japan: Zojirushi CD-LCC40 Micom 4.0-Liter Electric Dispensing Pot

I know this is an old question, but in case anyone new is looking, The new version of this Kettle that is out now (2015) has BPA Free written on the plastic water level viewing area. I emailed customer service asking if the old version was BPA free - It was not, but the new one is. They are replacing mine for free with the upgraded version.

Mine won't stay on after I brewed the 2nd pot. Any idea how to get it work again? I've unplugged it, tried all 5 settings, tried different amounts of water.... Did I get a bad Breville? I loved my old Breville.

Nope, bootom of the kettle's lid is plastic. Water level indicator is plastic. Plastic handle is also protruding thru steel body into interior.

Thank you for asking - I bought this kettle for my daughter and son in law who have just got back to me - they are thrilled with this kettle but say that "It does have plastic in it. The inside portion of the handle, the max fill line, and a screen around the spout are all plastic." Hope that this helps.

No, there is not any plastic pieces parts. All sides, fasteners and slot holders are made of brushed stainless steel. These parts do not even spot! We did treat the teak wood with a teak wood oil before we began to use the seat. Hope this all helps!

I have only found two very small places that are plastic. The viewing area on the lid is plastic and a tiny slot for the filter is plastic. I'd say 99% is NOT plastic. BPA free? I do not know. I can say that the water tastes the same after heating as it did when it came out of the faucet. In other words, the heated water does not have an "off" taste. I really like this kettle and would buy another if I need to.

My Brentwood kettle does not have the plastic strip on the body. It's all metal. I don't know about the kettle pictured here.

I am not really sure, but you can remove it easily. It just snaps in place. I looked at the box and the info sheet inside, there is not any info about the plastic parts. This tea maker works great. I recommended it to other people that ended up purchasing this tea maker.

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!

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.

There is no plastic inside the kettle. When I peer inside the kettle, it has a smooth/brushed stainless interior. No plastic, no coils. I love it.

There isn't any plastic in the kettle, other than a small mesh filter for the spout to block particulates from being poured out. The rest of the kettle interior is stainless steel, VERY durable and sturdy. It's a Cuisinart after all!

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.

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.

This kettle does not have plastic material. Only the handle is a rubber type of material foe heat resistance. And no the water doesn't touch that part. I love mine!

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

I looked at this model at Target and passed on it because it does have plastic inside. If you don't fill it full, the boiling water might not come in contact with the plastic but there is plastic inside. Because of this I think I am going with the more expensive Breville model.
