Does the coffee come in contact with the plastic

Yes, the coffee soaks (typically for at least 12-15 hours) in the top plastic tub, before you drain into the carafe below

Yes, the ground coffee sits in the plastic portion (overnight at my home). No plastic taste, ever. If I plan properly, in the morning, I pull the plug over the carafe while heating my cup of water in the microwave. I have a second carafe so I can make the last cup from that carafe while I start decanting the fresh batch. Wash the empty one and by the time I am ready to go to work, switch the empty and partially-full carafes and head out for the train. When I get home, the process is done and I simply add the second carafe to the first (I tend to use more water than fits in one carafe and get a little overflow on the counter if not careful). Also, I take some coffee liquid in a container to work so I can have a second "best cup in the world" once I'm there.

The white plastic, with the handle? Yes, it does, that is where the ground coffee sits, until you release it into the glass canister.

The whole silly thing was plastic. I tried this thing a couple times, gave the whole thing away and went back to perking on the stove. I use half Columbian from Marsh store and 1/2 Seattle's Best #4and it's delicious, and I like timing the perk at 7 minutes - good morning ritual. Don't waste your money...

not really. also, since there is a pour spout, coffee splashes out of it while pressing.

Yes, the coffee does sit on top of the plastic plug while brewing, but doesn't come in contact with it while it's draining into the cup because it is pushed out of the way when released. There is absolutely no off taste to the coffee if that's what you are concerned about. Plus there is a filter between the plastic plug and the coffee.

I don't own this coffee maker, but I did own a Hamilton Beach and it did the same thing. Couldn't smell the coffee over the plastic. Nothing I did got that smell out either. Had to return it because you could taste the plastic in the coffee.

There are some plastic parts, although as far as I can tell they're all on the outside i.e. with the exception of the stopper, and the pouring spout, they're on the skin of the carafe. The coffee sits in a glass inner container and doesn't tough any plastic until it's poured. I don't know whether the plastic components are BPA-free, although since the coffee isn't in constant contact with any plastic as far as I can tell, I don't think that's much of a concern.

There is little to no contact with the plastic, the pot it glass and there is a metal filter. It doesn't really touch the top

Not significantly. As you pour there is a chance that the coffee will come into contact with the lining of the lid..

Yes, it has contact with plastic. The window showing the amount of water in the kettle is plastic.

As far as I can see, the portion of the carafe that comes in contact with the coffee is all glass. There is a metal band around the outside bottom of the pot but it has no real bearing on the pouring of the coffee. I have always had good tasting coffee from this pot - but then the coffee you get out of it is only as good as the grinds you put in!

if you make the coffee the night before and profram it for morning then yes it sits in the reservoir which probably is a heavy type plastic but it is really good cofee and i love this coffee maker- it will tell you when it need to be cleaned also but running vinegar and water thru once in awhile will clean it more often- i am very pleased with is-

Even if the top plastic insert seemingly has minimal contact with the coffee, the boiling heat and steam may make the plastic release toxins down into the coffee.I have a Bodum without that plastic insert. They can be found.

I understand your concern about the plastic as that was one of our concerns but upon arrival discovered it was possible to raise the lid at the time of pouring the coffee so it didn't come in contact with the actual plastic. Its a wonderful French press.

Yes, the liquid does come into contact with plastic. Yes, there is a plastic dropper inside. It is a vegan company, so I would think the plastic is BPA-free and all of that stuff. I'm confident they make sure the bottle is what it should be, but I am not certain.

My opinion it is the same other than the coffee only contacts ceramic and silicon( valve ) instead of plastic. Also, the ceramic pulls some of the heat out of the brew unless you preheat

Yes it is. I honestly never gave this any thought. However, I'd be willing to bet you'd fail a blind taste test between coffee dispensed from glass and coffee dispensed from plastic.

We replaced ours because it was too complicated to use. yes, I think the coffee was held in a plastic reservoir.

Not a bit. I put it through the dishwasher every 4-5 uses, but the plunger really pushes it clean. I then clean the end of the plunger. You would think that with all that heating/cooling going on, there would be a plasticky taste, but the coffee is only in the chamber for about 30 seconds before I plunge. No time to get plastic residue, I suppose.
