Something else I’ve noticed about my own kettle that might be contributing. I store my kettle very near or sometimes just on my stovetop. If you fry anything nearby, even with a wipe down/cleaning you can still get small amounts of fat splatter on enough of the kettle that some of it may be making it’s way into the spout or underside of the lid that then gets mixed in by the steam inside when you boil water next.
The pot you boiled the water in has fats stuck to the bottom which came unstuck during the boiling.
Could you explain how fats would end up in kettles? Since tap water should be the only thing going in

Yeah I forgot about oil particles (?) being ever present in kitchens
Should be, but did someone boil milk at some point?
I wouldn’t rule that out, no idea how many tenants came before us. They could have boiled orange juice in them for all I know
Comments you can taste.
In a kettle?!
Bet you can guess what went into our kettle when I lived with a prior partner.
I hope you’re doing better now. LOL
