Manufacturer claims plastic is BPA free
Rating by : Thomas Coffee,

My only concern after purchasing this kettle was that the level gauge has a plastic surface in contact with the boiling water on the inside of the kettle.

After sending an inquiry to the manufacturer about the type of plastic used in the construction, I received the following response:

"Thank you for contacting us. The plastic used is polypropylene which is BPA free. If you are in need of additional assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your patronage.

Great Kettle - Read Instructions!
Rating by : Camille,

This kettle works perfectly for what it is supposed to be used for, boiling water at home. To those who gave it bad reviews because it was hot... really? That's what it is supposed to do... If you read the instructions before use, it says that the stainless steel surface gets hot and to only grab it by the handle as well as to have close supervision when any appliance is used by or near children. Would you grab a tea pot off the stove by anything other than the handle or allow your young children to operate it from the stove? No... It heats up quick and it was a great buy for only $20 at Costco. Super easy to use and has a removable mesh filter to prevent scale that is caused by lime and calcium in hard water.

Great kettle! Hot water fast! Not plastic!

I absolutely love this kettle. I got my first one about six years ago and it's still going strong. In fact, I just bought my second one so I could have hot water in my office at school for tea and ramen.

*The water gets hot fast. You know, in case you're starving but only have about five minutes before undergrads start trickling into your office to ask for extra points on their midterms for spelling their names correctly.

*It automatically shuts off when it's done boiling. A nice feature to have when you dart out of the office to intercept the cookie tray before the colloquium attendees get to it.

*There's a window-thingy on the side to let you know how much water is inside. Great for figuring out how many packets of ramen you can make.

*The carafe can be completely removed from the electric base; no cord attached. I wish I could make a grad student joke about this feature, but nothing comes to mind except noose jokes ('cause, you know, when you're a grad student, you want to hang yourself).

*It's stainless steel instead of plastic...there's nothing yuckier than plastic-tasting water. No plastic, no BPA-related worries. Not that I have anything to live for...I'm a grad student, after all.

Yeah, the outside of the carafe can get hot, but why in the world would you touch it? There's a very strong and very big handle that doesn't get hot that you use. I have the common sense of a gnat--hence, pursuing the PhD instead of a getting a real job--and I've never once burned myself, AND I'VE BEEN USING THIS DAILY FOR YEARS!

Yeah, I'm a grad student. How'd you know???
