We have long been in search of a kettle, in which the water does not come with any plastic parts in contact, because hot water can dissolve so many unwanted chemicals from it. Most stainless steel kettle somewhere but have plastic, whether a water level indicator (which we can do without), or lid. This product but that is not so, here is really everything inside made of stainless steel. We have informed us before buying the seller: The water filter is usually still made of plastic, this is but replaced by the seller at no extra cost on request against a stainless steel filter. We have asked and the filter was changed as promised. Otherwise, the kettle is compared to our old cooker very quiet and fast. And he looks damn good!
