Xiaomi Smart Kettle 2 Pro
I did a ton of research using Claude Code and Codex and finally bought this one:
Xiaomi Smart Kettle 2 Pro. Funnily enough, Xiaomi doesn't advertise it as “plastic-free”. I have tested it now for a few days and I am happy with it.
imo perfect plastic free kettle (if you want temperature control, see note* down below)
- The inner chamber is a single-piece / unibody 304 stainless steel unit.
- The lid / top is made entirely of 304 stainless steel as well
- no plastic or fancy stuff on the spout as well. just stainless steel.
The material at the bottom near the temperature sensor is silicon (confirmed by xiaomi customer support via email).
besides the whole plastic free topic, kettle looks very nice. essentialism / puristic. no fluff. also easy / good ux to set temperature. i dont really care about the smart home stuff. also dont have it connected to my phone. price is also good for 50 bucks or so. happy to answer any questions one have.

* otherwise silicon at the bottom for temp control is deal breaker obv - but there is afaik nothing on the marketing providing temp contrl without silicon... so for this usecase its afaik the best available option
