The 5 Best Electric Kettles with Minimal Plastic Water Contact

The phrase 'plastic-free kettle' deserves a closer look at the water path. A metal exterior says nothing about the underside of the lid, the spout filter or a level window; an outside plastic handle is a different issue from plastic sitting in boiling water. I would inspect those parts on the exact model before treating any product title as a materials guarantee.

For ordinary tea and hot water, the full-size Cosori is where I would start. The smaller Cosori gooseneck is for controlled coffee pours, not family-size refills; Mecity's thermometer is useful if you like to watch the water temperature without digital presets. One model here has a small silicone sensor seal, so 'no plastic' does not mean every water-contact component is metal.
