On this page
How to read verdicts: passes metal/glass primary path (silicone seals OK if disclosed). partial usable if you skip a coated accessory, or plastic remains on lids. fails plastic or fluoropolymer/nonstick in the normal use path.

Fellow Fellow Stagg EKG Pro Electric Gooseneck Kettle

Fellow Stagg EKG Pro Electric Gooseneck Kettle

PARTIAL

Fellow · Model Stagg EKG Pro

Why: 304 stainless interior, but Fellow's own help article states a compression-molded silicone ring around the temperature probe and a silicone lid gasket; lid/base/handle include BPA-free polypropylene. Excellent pour-over kettle; not fully polymer-free in the water/steam path.

OXO OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Kettle (Glass)

OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Kettle (Glass)

PARTIAL

OXO · Model 8716900

Why: BPA-free borosilicate glass vessel with stainless filter; OXO lists materials as borosilicate glass, silicone, and stainless steel but does not map which silicone parts sit in the water path. Glass body is strong; incomplete silicone map keeps it partial.

Black+Decker Black+Decker Electric Kettle (typical plastic-window models)

Black+Decker Electric Kettle (typical plastic-window models)

FAILS

Black+Decker · Model Category — plastic window SS kettles

Why: Mainstream Black+Decker electric kettles commonly pair a stainless look with plastic water windows and plastic lids. Without an all-metal water-path disclosure, they fail this directory’s rule. Treat as category fail — open the specific SKU sheet before buying.

Breville Breville Soft Top Pure Electric Kettle

Breville Soft Top Pure Electric Kettle

FAILS

Breville · Model BKE700BSSUSC

Why: Brushed stainless body, but dual BPA-free plastic water windows contact the water. Breville discloses food-contact plastics tested for BPA; that still fails a no-plastic-touching-water rule.

Cuisinart PerfecTemp Programmable Kettle

FAILS

Cuisinart · Model CPK-17 / CPK-17P1

Why: Popular mainstream kettle with a blue-backlit plastic water window in the water path. Maker does not publish a full water-contact bill of materials; plastic window alone fails our rule.

KitchenAid Variable Temperature Electric Kettle 1.7L

KitchenAid · Model KEK1722

Why: Stainless body with a blue-lit clear water window. Spec sheets highlight the illuminated window; clear windows of this class are plastic in the water path. Fails plastic-free water-path rule.
