The interior is porcelain. The top is stainless. I read reviews about the handle getting too hot but I have not had that problem. The stainless steel top does however get very hot as you remove it, if you plan to put your tea bags into the teakettle. It is a very nice little teakettle and we'll worth the money.

The pot is metal on the exterior and the same on the interior but the interior seems like it's coated with a dark "non-stick like" color. My wife loves it and I got huge hubby points.

Sorry I don't know. I did contact the parent company by email and phone when I had concerns about a coating inside the tea kettle. Even though we communicated they never did give me a direct response . They could probably answer your question. This tea kettle looks great when new but that is short lived. If you have not already purchased this kettle I would heed the negative reviews and look elsewhere.

Hi, I have this kettle and the interior bottom of the pot is stainless steel. The walls are some type of thermo-plastic which is very tough and offers some insulation. It is super easy to clean and it opens wide enough so that I can get my hand inside to clean it. If you use tap water (rather than filtered water) you may have some mineral build up but that is easily removed with some vinegar. I've been very happy with this kettle.

It's kind of a combo. There is an interior plastic "plug" with a rubber seal and the exterior is stainless steel. We now have two of them in our house and both my daughter & my husband love them. Good luck!

It is a black enamel. Which I kinda like because you don't have to deal with oxidization or corrosion of the interior. That has often been a reason in the past for me to throw a tea kettle away. So far with relatively moderate family use (about 3 pots of hot water for tea per day) no chips, flaking, discoloration or anything has been seen. And I have checked. All in all I rather like it even though it was a bit unexpected when it arrived.

Yes. It appears to have a black enamel coating. I've had it for over 6 months now. Much of the time with some degree of water and no evidence of rust. Not the sturdiest teapot but not bad either. Got it for its color.

It is a single wall construction kettle. So the interior is the same as the exterior - stainless for the majority with the plastic windows both interior and exterior.

I have the white and black color and the inside is coated black with enamel like material. I like this teakettle as it feels solid and looks really nice on the stove.

I had another perc that was stovetop and the inside was shinier. I can't really say what the inside is. I do love this pot. It has never let me down and tastes like the old stovetop one.

Hi- I own one and the inside is glazed, same as the outside. I use it all the time and it works great. Also came very well packed and arrived quickly.

I thought water was involved too at first. I purchased one by another company (made in the USA) but I'm sure functionality is the same. Water doesn't go into the device. Check out the responses to the other questions. They describe usage very well. Mine is porcelain and I don't believe the inside is glazed.

The inside is white enamel. This is basically a knock-off le creuset item, and works just as well as an owner of both) I am unsure about the warranty. I'm really bad about those things. I will say that I've used this MANY TIMES, and even banged it around a bit. No chips in enamel or anything. It's one of my most used pots/pans (along with an all-clad "essential" pan and my copper pots).

there are no coatings on the inside or outside. i don't know where it or the steel was made but i have left tea in it for 3 to 4 days at a time and never have a rust problem. it looks just like it did when new.

I don't know what kettle the others are describing, but my Chef's Choice, brand new, has plastic around the spout on the inside, a plastic sensor cover on the inside and the transparent part of the lid is plastic on the inside. It also has an exposed heating element making it more difficult to clean. I'm going to return it.

Yes, the interior is Porcelain Enamel, rust proof. The pot works very well but is smaller than pictured although it WILL hold 40 oz barely.

Teakettle was sent to my son as a gift. I had him check it and he couldn't find anything printed on it as to its origin. Sorry. But he really likes it.

Porcelain is better in my opinion. It diffuses the heat much better and when grease hits the rods the flare ups are much less. Much better investment than stainless.
