But why put the PLASTIC in contact with the water in a kettle in stainless ...

Super kettle, a little heavy when filled but normal since it is stainless steel, it is of good quality.
It is robust, I use it for about 2 years and no worry of operation.
Caution stainless steel is always a difficult material many brand for manic is not great;)
And do not touch the body of the kettle is hot after heating, no insulating wall.

I appreciate the thermostat that allows me to adjust the temperature in advance if I'm in a hurry I put at 70 ° very quickly and can drink tea behind and must not exceed 80 ° often, so it ' is perfect.

The huge downside that makes me wonder if I'm not going to sell is that the water levels of plastic parts are in direct contact with the water while I just wanted to do the stainless not have this disadvantage so I find it very stupid to have made it like that !! It is possible to isolate the water level (we would not have the blue light but choose I take no light!)

Certainly I saw "BPA" but I do not know what is plastic, and anyway, one wonders to what other plastics scandal will emerge in a few years, we will be told that PVC is carcinogenic etc. .
So why take the risk of having the plastic in contact with boiling water?

I recommend it all the same.
