has anyone encountered one that they've had success with? most of the ones i've seen are mostly stainless steel but usually have some kind of plastic inside them.

Lid too? Seals? Nothing plastic exposed to water and steam? After all, steam condenses and drips.

I have wondered about this general topic for a while. Of course there is the unlined tetsubin ... but the convenience and speed of an electric kettle far out weigh my desire to own and actively use a tetsubin.

I used an all metal pot this week to heat water and I was never so glad to return to my Pino, plastic seal and all!
