Chantal Mia Ekettle
Silicone is only a gasket/seal — what touches your food is Stainless Steel (304 / 18-8). And it sits in a hot path, where silicone matters more.
An analog electric gooseneck with an all-stainless water path - interior, spout, lid, and handle all steel on the current model - with one silicone gasket in the steam tube as the only caveat.
The verdict: Silicone only
Chantal sells the Mia specifically as a "Stainless Steel (Plastic Free)" gooseneck, and on the current model the interior, water-level gauge, spout, lid, and even the handle are all 18/8 stainless - no plastic in the water path. What keeps it from fully plastic-free is a single silicone gasket at the base of the steam tube (the channel that trips the auto shut-off): it sits in the steam path, not submerged. That puts it in the same silicone-only tier as the Fellow Stagg rather than above it - both contain one food-grade silicone seal, Chantal's up in the steam tube and Fellow's around a base-mounted probe. The power base is plastic but never touches water.

The Mia Ekettle (SKU ELSL37-03M) is a 32 oz / ~0.95 L cordless electric gooseneck kettle: 1000 W, analog, boil-only with auto shut-off and boil-dry protection. There are no temperature presets - the patented dual-function spout passively cools the pour to around 205 degrees F for coffee and tea. The thin gooseneck gives the pour control pour-over needs, without electronics.
Pros
- All-stainless water path on the current model - interior, gauge, spout, lid, and handle
- Gooseneck pour control for pour-over without a screen or presets to fail
- Analog and simple - no plastic display or sensors to break
- Cheaper than the Fellow Stagg while matching its silicone-only water path
Cons
- One silicone gasket in the steam tube keeps it from fully plastic-free
- Boil-only - no set temperatures (the spout passively lands near 205 F)
- Small 0.95 L capacity
- Silicone-gasket detail comes via third-party reviewers, not Chantal's own spec copy
Notes
- Capacity: 32 oz / ~0.95 L; SKU ELSL37-03M; analog boil-only
- Buy the current "Stainless Steel (Plastic Free)" model - Chantal notes older units had plastic in the lid/handle
