Not sure if it BPA free or not, cause have bought mine a few years ago, so don't have a package. The lid is plastic inside. It can contact the water if you pour too too much and it is boiling and touching the lid. If you add regular amount of water, it doesn't happen. Yes, you need to open the lid to pour water.

Hi Michael,Don't know if it is BPA free. The water doesn't touch the plastic lid, unless you over fill it, I suppose. The max fill lines are very clear. You don't have to open the lid to pour, it is an option. I haven't had any issues with mine, we love it! Its the best one I've ever owned. Hope this helps.Alison

The plastic inside this kettle is marked as #5. #5 plastic is a Polypropylene which is BPA free. Not convinced, I called the company and the representative assured me that this product was indeed BPA free. I am not sure why they are not advertising it as BPA free, however.

No; it's glass. I have a water kettle with a stainless interior, and it has rusted to high heaven. I much prefer the glass interior, although Zojirushi warns you not to drop it or it will likely shatter.

I don't know what kind of plastic is in the lid or ring. I have used this kind of tea pot for years with no problem, the 3 cup and the 5 cup. They all have the same glass and plastic. Never thought much about plastic.

I like you am concerned about plastic and aluminum parts. This boiler has no aluminum or plastic parts at all, except the handle which does not come in contact with the water. The inside of the lid is hollow. It's stainless steel and snaps into place. Some people have comented on it getting hot, but if you just hold the handle, and not the lid itself it's not so hot that you can't hold onto it. We are very happy with this water boiler, we use it every day for pour over coffee. We'd be suffering over stove boiled water without it. Heats water in less than 4 minutes.

There is a plastic(silicon) O-ring around the lip of the lid. Many other comments suggest taking that off, which is quite easy, to allow expanding air out better. other than that there is no plastic inside the kettle.

This cup is BPA free plastic. I have it and I love it. It fits pretty well in the cup holder in my car and keeps the tea warm for a good while. It doesn't get too hot to hold like glass would. It stays a comfortable warm that is wonderful in cold temperatures. I would look at the Tao of Tea site to see if they have a glass one there for you. I get most of my teas from them and have gotten 4 of 5 tea pots from them as well. I hope this helps.

This pot does not have a view window on the outside because there is no plastic that comes into contact with the water. There is a piece in the inside that shows the fill line. The fact that your water never comes into contact with plastic is one of the best features. You can boil as little as a cup of water at one time. I really like this kettle. My last one was Krups & it was nice too, but you were heating & reheating plastic with your water.

I do not know if it is BPA free. I do know that the water sits in a stainless steel container. The only plastic part it touches is the heating element. Hope this helps.

yes - the entire inside is plastic. I don't use the kettle tbh as the boiled water tastes of plastic, like a bottle of water you've left in the car on a hot day. Its in the cupboard and hasn't been used pretty much since I bought it. Try a metal kettle or something else. This is a bad buy.

The interior of the pot is entirely stainless steel, so your water will not touch any plastic. So I guess that does make it BPA free by default?

YES, THERE IS PLASTIC! Just got this kettle, opened the filling lid and it has a plastic gasket that looks like it will come in contact with steam. My entire reason for going to this kettle and away from stand alone electric kettles was to get away from any type of water-contact plastic. Of course, steam is hotter than water, so if steam hits the gasket and drips back into the kettle as the design looks like it would, plasticizers go into your future beverage.

No there is only a tiny bit of plastic on the lid which I take off every time and do not pour through. I brew it without the lid but the automatic shut off won't work without the lid. I find it heats water very fast where it boils quickly, so I shut it off manually and unplug it after I pour. It pours well without the lid. There is no plastic inside, only on part of the removable lid.

No it is all plastic inside. I would not recommend boiling water. It might melt.

I haven't seen any claim stating the boiling chamber is BPA free. However, the only product that leaves the boiling chamber is steam. All contaminants are left in the chamber, and not in the steam that will condense into distilled water. The collection container IS supposed to be BPA free.

Yes there is plastic in the lid. If you keep the water level below max the boiling water wont touch the top. I'll only come in contact when pouring.
