Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles?

  My electric kettle has plastic parts. Also my pour over funnels are plastic. This is not a meaningful distinction between the two.

    Maybe I was looking at the bougie ones then.

    My kettle is glass and stainless, and everyone I noticed was either glass or stainless

    My pour over funnel is silicone. Like plastic but different. Assuming it’s food grade, less likely to be harmful

      I think it’s fair to say that kettles and funnels can be found in non-plastic materials. And I have to admit I’ve never seen an”coffee maker” that wasn’t plastic. I suppose a restaurant grade Bunn machine has a stainless steel basket and a glass carafe, but there isn’t anything for the home. Unless someone is about to tell me I’m wrong, which, this being Reddit, someone probably is.
