Mold is -everywhere-. Boiling the water makes that sterile but the air that's sitting on it isn't...

Yeah, I went on a vacation for 4 months, when I came back we had mold in our bath tub.

Yep. I agree.
So I don't think the fact the kettle was plastic had anything to do with it.
Same would have happened with stainless....

I have a Keurig thing that gets a LOT of use - I'm never without a coffee. It also gets cleaned out with white vinegar every week even though it has a (supposed) self cleaning cycle.

To be honest, when we loose power I opnly worry about three things - being able to recharge my wifes phone if needed, our Pellet Stove for heat and mosdt importantly, my Coffee Maker

Trust me - I'm worse than a bear with a sore head if I don't get my coffee
