Ottoni Fabbrica Alice
A purely analog, all-18/10-stainless electric kettle with no plastic touching the water and no electronics - the plastic-free community's top electric-kettle pick.
The verdict: No-contact plastic
The Alice is made entirely in 18/10 stainless steel (304-equivalent), body, spout, and removable anti-scale filter, with no plastic in contact with the water and no digital display or thermostat - just an automatic switch-off. It is not a glued glass-on-metal design, so it sidesteps the seam-glue concern of glass kettles. The one part Ottoni Fabbrica doesn't explicitly name is the lid/element seal, which on kettles of this type is conventionally a small silicone gasket; treat it as silicone-only if you strictly avoid silicone.

A deliberately simple electric kettle: all 18/10 stainless steel, no digital controls, no temperature presets - just boil and automatic switch-off. Italian- made and repair-friendly, it is the plastic-free community's most-recommended electric kettle for exactly this all-analog, all-steel build.
