Is the inside of the kettle plastic too?

Yes, the inside is also plastic. However, you don't need to worry - I've never had any problems with it. You don't get a plastic taste from it. A friend of mine has one in white (mine is the lime green), and hers is problem-free also.

The base of the inside is metal but the rest of the inside is plastic. We are very pleased with this kettle. It is better in general than the last make of electric kettle we had even though it does not boil as fast.

The inside of the kettle is plastic, except the heating element on the bottom.

It's plastic. When I was looking for a kettle, I wanted no lactic touching the hot water. Unfortunately, every kettle I looked at either had plastic somewhere or the quality and lifespan were poor. This was the best alternative I found. We have had it now for three months and we love it and the very limited contact with the plastic I can live with. If I had to do it over again, I'd buy the same kettle.

No, the inside is plastic! I use mine for continuous brew kombucha as well!

No plastic at all. The kettle is pure stainless steel. I have to wear the oveglove whenever I use it, but I am used to it.

As I mention in my review, while the bottom of the interior is stainless steel the sides of the interior are all plastic. It's not obvious at first, and I can see why some people didn't notice, but about 70% of the interior is plastic. If you don't want toxic chemicals from plastic leaching in to your boiling water than I suggest that you avoid this kettle.

The handle is plastic, and the end of the overflow tube inside the kettle is plastic. the mesh filter is also plastic. but aside from those small pieces, the interior and exterior are metal.

Yes the inside is stainless. There is a nylon type screen filtering the pour spout, this framed in a black composite material, also nylon colored seals letting the clear water level window be visible for required boiling water. This appears to be plastic.

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.

Our pot has no plastic on the inside. the water only comes in contact with stainless steel.

After reading some of the 3 star reviews - Yes it does contain some plastic: max water marker and some on the lid. So, if you're like me looking for an all non-plastic interior kettle, this one is not it either.

The knob on the top is plastic. There is no plastic on the inside of the pot.

The only plastic on the kettle itself is the handle and cover. The kettle is stainless steel. I would think this is a question for the manufacturer.

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.

Anyone who thinks the interior is all steel did not look carefully at all. R. Roebuck is correct. I just received my kettle an hour ago, and while the bottom of the inside is steel the sides inside are entirely plastic. It's a bit hard to tell because they try to make it look like steel, but after 10 minutes of testing I am 100% sure it's plastic (different sound when tapped, different temperature than the steel bottom, etc). Avoid this kettle if you do not want plastic touching your water.

The entire kettle is plastic, including the inside body. However, we did not notice any adverse taste or odor from the plastic. We just finished a 5 week tour around Turkey where we used this kettle daily. We did get quite a bit of mineral build up, but it would usually scale off by itself and not attach too firmly to the plastic. In other kettles I have used vinegar to remove minerals. We love this kettle and will hopefully take it on many future trips.

The kettle is completely stainless steel on the inside. There are two small BPA plastic covers for two bolts at the bottom and BPA plastic window along the side with the measurements. The pour spout is also Stainless Steel.
