Is the inside of this kettle have a coating (like enamel or porcelain) or is it just metal? Thank you

Yes, inside is black in color, not metal so it is probably enamel or porcelain, I am not sure which.I like it, and am a veteran of many tea kettles!

I have the white and black color and the inside is coated black with enamel like material. I like this teakettle as it feels solid and looks really nice on the stove.

Its a porcelain finish, but like I mentioned in my review the whistle is not good at all

No; it's glass. I have a water kettle with a stainless interior, and it has rusted to high heaven. I much prefer the glass interior, although Zojirushi warns you not to drop it or it will likely shatter.

No...there is no white enamel on the inside of the kettle. I love this little kettle. The design is just right, the handle never gets hot and it goes with my kitchen decor...but it doesn't whistle.

Hi,I have this kettle and the interior bottom of the pot is stainless steel. The walls are some type of thermo-plastic which is very tough and offers some insulation. It is super easy to clean and it opens wide enough so that I can get my hand inside to clean it. If you use tap water (rather than filtered water) you may have some mineral build up but that is easily removed with some vinegar.I've been very happy with this kettle.

The inside of the Bodum kettle is steel on the bottom and plastic on the sides. It works great!

Actually the kettle is made of entirely made of copper with a wooden handle. The interior is then lined with pure tin.

As I mention in my review, while the bottom of the interior is stainless steel the sides of the interior are all plastic. It's not obvious at first, and I can see why some people didn't notice, but about 70% of the interior is plastic. If you don't want toxic chemicals from plastic leaching in to your boiling water than I suggest that you avoid this kettle.

The base of the inside is metal but the rest of the inside is plastic. We are very pleased with this kettle. It is better in general than the last make of electric kettle we had even though it does not boil as fast.

No plastic. Solid metal. Even the knob on top is stainless. I am very careful about plastic and this product has no plastic touching anything you will be consuming. I agree with Flamimgo; it is a great kettle.

Not a problem. I reheat water in the teapot routinely. The interior of the kettle is also enameled and not just raw metal so rust isn't a problem....as long as the enamel is intact and not chipped off via denting or other damage. I don't know how long the enameled interior lasts but I'm a seasoned citizen and therefore consider it to have a lifetime guarantee.

This kettle is indeed solid copper, but with an electroplated nickel interior. Think of it as solid brass faucet with a chrome plated exterior, or a steel car with a painted surface.

The Bodum kettle has a stainless steel interior base, but the sides are plastic. It is a very good kettle, by the way.

The kettle is metal. The inside is dark and appears coated. The handle is a hard plastic.

It is stainless steel. There is no coating on the stainless steel interior. It is highly polished. This is our second hot pot. We passed our first one on to a family member who loved it. We totally enjoy ours, too! :)

Sorry I don't know. I did contact the parent company by email and phone when I had concerns about a coating inside the tea kettle. Even though we communicated they never did give me a direct response . They could probably answer your question. This tea kettle looks great when new but that is short lived. If you have not already purchased this kettle I would heed the negative reviews and look elsewhere.

I don't know what kettle the others are describing, but my Chef's Choice, brand new, has plastic around the spout on the inside, a plastic sensor cover on the inside and the transparent part of the lid is plastic on the inside. It also has an exposed heating element making it more difficult to clean. I'm going to return it.
