Does the water pass through the plastic cap? or are you drinking straight from the glass?

You drink directly from the glass not through the plastic cap. You have to take the cap off to drink the beverage.

Well, through the coffee sitting in a filter and ultimately through a plastice nozzle. Water is fed onto the coffee through a plastic reservoir, too.

Yes the bottle is completely made of glass. So you will sip from glass. I think that is the best thing to do because pooring is almost impossible without spilling.

Good question. If you were to think, the interior of the plastic might affect the taste of water, it probably isn't the case. I just find water tasting how it is supposed to be.

It can get wet and can be immersed in a glass but you have to have all your well put the caps has several caps on each port that has to be well placed so that no water there

It doesn't have lid that you can drink out of, just a top that screws on, so only way to drink out is taking lid completely off. So not really designed to drink out of.

The solution and the water goes in tge plastic bottle. The tip of the bottle touches the nostrils and the motion is to squeeze the liquid out so nothing should be returning into the bottle.

It goes from stainless steel into glass, there might be a small amount of contact with plastic as it passes through the spigot into the glass collection container and also when pouring out of the collection container it might touch the plastic lid of the glass decanter. As the water passes through it is warm not hot so it should be relatively safe for anyone with plastic sensitivities.

I normally drink from the mug. However you need to be careful for hot liquid as It will be Very hot. Its opening in no bigger than a regular glass. It could be a little sharp but for me is perfect. I have never had an issue to drink out of it

The cap outside is stainless. The inside is plastic, with a stainless disk/plug where the juice or water would contact the lid. I don't know if the plastic is for a better seal or to minimize abrasions on the top of bottle. I do recommend the bottles if your looking for a glass bottle with something better than a simple plastic cap.

You can't drink out of this particular water bottle without making contact with the built-in straw. You have to bite down on it to get the water to flow through. Hope that helps!

Not really sure what the issue is. We haven't had an issue with water getting inside the cap.

No it's a straight through. Only aids in connecting/disconnecting hose from spigot as opposed to having to twist. You still need to manually shut water off (and possibly purge water from hose) before disconnecting otherwise you will get water spraying everywhere.

Yes. The coffee or water is sitting on the plastic shut off. When you open the valve the liquid passes to the cup. It does not affect the taste.

Have to give a bit of a mixed answer here. I tried on a regular single use water bottle and this tried to catch, but did not. The plastic ring that holds the cap on before the first use seemed to cause the problem here. I did try on another bottle and this was a success. I will try more later and try to post my findings then.

Everything the water goes through, except I assume the heating unit, is plastic. Next time I am going back to a Chemex and a Stainless thermos. To insure hot coffee for a time make sure to preheat the thermos.

There is a small twist cap on the bottom of the water container. I didn't figure it out at first either... If you miss the opening you may get some water in the decorative case but just turn it over, over the base and the small amount of water will go in there. This one is by far may favorite so far, I have bought 5 of them, two of which I had to send back.
