Disappointed, as inside this kettle has plastic too
I was looking for a stainless steel or glass kettle to avoid having hot water in contact with plastic. However, the inside of this kettle seems also covered in plastic, which defeated the purpose of buying a stainless steel kettle. This is why I was disappointed. Otherwise, it's stylish, holds a lot of water, and works well. also, something which is not apparent from the photos, it has a base and hence the kettle detaches, which is convenient to refill. I wish Alessi had made a stainless steel kettle all around, but I am afraid even this one has water in contact with plastic.
Too bad
Searched high and low for an electric kettle not made in China. Ordered this after reading some blogs that their kettles are made in Italy. Apparently not all of them as this one is not - only discovered the fact after receiving it in the mail, poring through every document and inspecting the box closely to discover the truth in size 2 font on an equally tiny sticker. I have no problems with items made in China (hey, my mac products are!) but $200 for a designer kettle with a plastic interior and chintzy stainless steel exterior? Come on. 2 stars because I blame myself for not reading between the lines (no mention anywhere online of its proud country of origin) and because it looks good.
