Question: Does it have any plastic parts that are in contact with the water? Is the plastic BPA free?
Document: It's part of the kettle that the water comes into contact with. I've read so many cautions about BPA (Bisphenol A) in plastics being harmful, and it concerns me that water is being boiled around the plastic. There was no labeling stating that it was BPA-free and I haven't been able to get a reply from Krups. Perhaps they will read this review and post a comment. The other drawback is that the kettle gets very hot on the outside.
Although most of the interior is stainless steel, it does have a little plastic (water indicator level strip and opening to the spout are plastic). To be fair, the plastic used might be BPA-free, and my concerns are unfounded.
Krups Electric Kettle is okay looks good works well..some plastice parts .. not sure if PBA free.But outside metal gets Extremely Hot!!! &  Burned my arm !!! and I would not recommend it for this reason!
There are way too many parts and pieces for something that performs such a simple task. Again, poor product design in my opinion.I put fresh water inside. Still good. Then I boiled it, and immediately after the water came to a boil, all the plastic parts began to stink again. The heat releases the stink from the plastic. I suspect that the wrong type of plastic was put in the injection molding machines - something just isn't right here.
Water boils quickly, it's sturdy, attractive, pours well, the handle is comfortable - there's nothing I don't like about it. EXCEPT, after writing this review I looked at other reviews that pointed out the strong plastic smell and taste and found that they were right. Once you're aware of it, it's impossible to ignore. Our previous kettle was an all-plastic Bosch but it never had such a strong effect on the flavor. I think I'll go back to plastic-free stovetop kettles.
Plus, I needed a cup of coffee after all that. And lo, when I took a sip from the coffee made with water from the Krups machine, it, too smelled of plastic--apparently I hadn't noticed it before being sensitized by the T-Fal's scary performance. Granted, the interior of the Krups is mostly metal, so the problem was apparently caused by the plastic interior of the lid, which doesn't come into contact with the water. Nevertheless:  yech.
I am not able to use this water kettle.Once you put water in it, it smells like plastic.
This kettle is very nice to look at, and the water heats up quickly.During my search for a new pot I noted the ones which had the taste problem. No one made such a comment about this one, so I was surprised when I could smell the odor and then taste the metal/plastic in the tea I made.I was careful to follow the directions in the manual about boiling and discarding water three times.
The Krups Kettle feels nice to hold. It doesn't feel like a flimsy piece of junk like some of the other kettles on the market. The off/on switch feels like it will withstand the frequent use of my household. The interior is all metal with the exception of the the clear plastic that shows the water level -- and there are two of them, one on each side of the kettle. It does seem to take a little longer than my previous kettle but it's a little more quiet.
I need to check if this one has a reset button or not.The plastic pour filter is removable which is good. My experience tells me these plastic filters gets damaged by boiling water so unless you are cooking tea inside the kettle, you really don't need it. Just leave it out.One issue with this kettle is the lack of insulation. My other unit has a thickness to the kettle so even when it's boiling, it's safe to touch the kettle on the side.
Answer: Sorry I don't know, but one thing I noticed the first 4-5 boils the water tasted funny and it cleared away after that.
