Is the liquid inside the container exposed to any plastic from the lid? Is the tea strainer made from a plastic mesh or a metal mesh?

The tea strainer is made out of metal. The lid has a plastic ( about 1/8" thick around). So yes, if the bottle is not standing up, the liquid will touch some plastic area on the lid.

The previous answer is correct: the cap assembly is lined with some type of plastic. Since the metal part of the bottle screws inside of the plastic, most of the plastic in the lid is covered unless some liquid gets down into the threads somehow. I would guess the area of plastic exposure is a square inch or a so. The label states the bottle is BPA free.

The inner cap of the lid and the part of the plunger that holds the mesh are plastic. The plunger shaft is metal.

I am corrected. The inside is indeed hard plastic with a metal heating element. That water gets boiling hot, but no worries. This is the best teapot I have ever owned. Ever.

The outside is glass, the strainer inside is clear plastic and the lid is rubber or silicone covered. The inside sipper is plastic. Hope that helps

YES, there is plastic on the inside. It is at the very top of the jug where the handle attaches. The handle only attaches at the inside top not the full length of the handle. I personally believe it is not safe. This is not the kettle I am looking for.

It is, plastic don't put it on the stove, I just heat, the water in a, metal pan and pour it on the tea.

No, there is no plastic inside the lid or the pot. I did a lot of looking before I bought mine, and I think this kettle is definitely the solution if you don't want any plastic coming in contact with your water!

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.

No plastic parts are visible, I seriously doubt any are contained, I have 3 of these - they are beautifully and we'll designed, durable and heavy. They keep my wife's tea hot down to warm over 24 hours. But remember to fill it with the hottest tap water you have and let it absorb the hear for 20 secs to a minute if you want to keep it hot for a long period of time! It absolutely does, and you won't regret the purchase! Good luck!

The mesh is extra fine so I don't think you will have any issues with lemon grass escaping in the tea. I have not had any issues with bits floating from seeping through the mesh yet and I have tried a few different teas since getting this.

Glass vessel with a metal bottom. Lid is plastic with only steam contact (no BPA indentificaton). Lid does not have to be opened, there is a plastic strainer there also.

The tea strainer in both the glass pot and the stainless steel pot is made of stainless steel. :)

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.

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.

There actually several plastic parts that contact the water, not just the window. There are two screw covers/washers on the bottom, and a strainer that the water passes through when you pour it (to keep sediment that forms on the bottom of the pot out of your tea). This strainer is removable, but the other plastic parts are not.
