is this bottle made of plastic or glass. It says BPA free, so I'm confused. Is the strainer portion plastic and the bottle glass? thanks

The outside is glass, the strainer inside is clear plastic and the lid is rubber or silicone covered. The inside sipper is plastic. Hope that helps

The plastic is all BPA free. Some liquid will touch the silicon plastic part on the lid. I never use the lid unless I put something hot in the glass. All parts are dishwasher safe and to make it last longer I turn my heated dry off. I really love this glass I use it everyday!!

I believe it is BPA free. It is made of the same type of soft plastic Nalgene bottles are made of. I would leave the spout open in a hot car, just to prevent pressure build up. I'm very pleased with the bottle, but you should keep it upright when not in use as it does tend to drop a little if you put it on its side.

Yes, the water reservior is made of plastic. I do not know the BPA impact, but I know the coffee is SUPERB.

The bottle and the actual dropper (clear part) are glass. The black part is plastic and rubber.

According to eHow.com: "If the bottle is not made from No. 7 plastic, it does not contain BPA."Read more : http://www.ehow.com/how_6023359_tell-plastic-bottle-contains-bpa.html

It's plastic, not really sure whether it's bpa free. We hardly used it. We bought a thermos that stainless inside work better. Hope this help.

If the product says BPA free I am assuming the whole product has to be BPA free. From what I know glass is naturally BPA free. I may be wrong but I have a 3 year old and I try my best to get him the least toxic stuff. From my research this is one of the safest.

The plastic is made of a high density polyethylene that is BPA free, according to the manufacturer's description. It is dishwasher safe, but I hand wash it and air dry. I've been very pleased with mine.

It's made of some kind of plastic. I don't not if it's BPA free or not. If it isn't I am going to throw it away.

This I a BpA free plastic. The glass is very small. Works well for my 2 year old.

Sorry I can't help you. I didn't keep packaging. I did just take a look at the beaker, but I see no markings on it to indicate if it's bpa free or not.

The strainer does contain some plastic.. and I don't know that I'd describe the handle as plastic - it feels more like bakelite (which is an early form of plastic, but more sturdy than modern plastics) - or at least something more substantial than plastic. We love our BonJour French Press - it makes great coffee and is very sturdy.

What plastic exactly? It mentions BPA free, but are there any other bisphenols used? BPS, perhaps? Where can we get the exact list of chemicals? Any certifications from a European consumer safety authority?

Yes. The only non plastic part is the metal screen and the inner glass layer. The cap (two parts) are made of plastic and there are rubber rings too. I have deemed the product acceptable for my personal anti-BPA standards. After nearly a year of constant use, the plastic cap still weighs the "same" so if it is degrading into my drinks, then it is happening at less than one part per billion over a year.

You mean BPA? I don't think it mentions in the manual, but the smaller containers are all glass and the strainer seems to be made of something like PET. The bigger container is probably the most likely to have a bis phenol issue, but if it bothers you, some small canning jars the same size as the included jars will work pretty well.
