Hi, This is the only glass water dispenser I found and I'm glad I did but the spigot is plastic. Can I replace it with this stainless steel one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IX87W1Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2QK07761NCAQC Hi, This is the only glass water dispenser I found and I'm glad I did but the spigot is plastic.

Yes. As long as the thread portion is the same diameter of the plastic one.

No. It came with a cheap plastic spigot even though it was listed as steel. It would be worth it to spend more money to get better quality.. I was very disappointed with my purchase.

The spigot is made of plastic. I do like this container and the spigot works very well.

it is plastic and the flow was very slow, so I dip from the top (I make kombucha in it). The glass bit is thick and sturdy....the spigot is not terrific.

I have had trouble with the spigot. You have to open the top so that the spigot will work but it seems to jam up. I have pipe filtered it but it doesn't work like I would want it to, it should be metal. With that said the rest of it is great I just use the spout instead. It is really great for aging it really smoothed out the high and low spots

you can also buy a stainless steel spigot for $24 or $29 I think, from berkeyfilters.com I'm pretty sure.

The spigot is plastic. I wouldn't use it on the next 1 that I purchase. I'll just connect a short hose and shut off valve to the drain spout at the lowest practical place. That allows me to take advantage of water pressure. The spigot is useless for me. Otherwise it's a great product.

I would love to know this too! My spigot has leaked since the very first time I used it. I would love to hear if you found a place that sells them!

I know.. it's so SOOOOO frusterating trying to find a kettle with no plastic, and NOT made in CHINA... errrr.... I couldn't find an electric one with NO plastic (at least not one I could afford)... but I settled on this one which has the smallest piece of plastic but which doesn't touch the water ever.... and then when you pour there is a plastic filter, but I open the lid when pouring and the plastic never touches the water. And it is made in China if I remember, but I had to settle with it after MUCH research and a few returned kettles which had too much plastic inside. I don't understand WHY they would make a stainless steel kettle and then put plastic inside. Anyways... good luck to you!

I have the he version for my kombucha. The spigot is plastic and it's terrible, I just tried cleaning it out and it still barely drips. I plan to buy a stainless less steel spigot also offered on Amazon. I have always read that stainless steel is actually preferable for kombucha brewing, even compared to glass and especially plastic.

Pat, I wish we could answer your question, but we'd refer you to the manufacturer. Ours installed okay, and we have not had to replace the plastic bottle.

At the time I ordered my Del Sol drink dispenser, I also ordered a stainless steel spigot. It was the #1 bestseller through Amazon. It has been wonderful! I have used my drink dispenser many times and it never leaks.

Hi Ashley, There is no metal in the spigot. It is made with plastic. The lid however is made of metal. hope that helps. Thanks,

Hi Richard. Yes I only bought one of these hoses, but after the third use it came apart at the fitting that attaches to the water spigot. Was not impressed with it. When I have that kind of a failure soon after purchase I don't try it again. I won't purchase another. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

Circle ware is sold in so many stores like Kohls and JCPenny, I do not think it contains lead, as far as the spigot goes it is a chrome colored plastic and not the best spigot. The glass is not very thick but I have been using mine to brew Kambucha and its fine. I dont use the lid but they are thin metal. You could probably find a replacement spigot but mine are still working .

I am looking to replace my Bodum, which finally broke. I bought a Bodum replacement and was horrified to find that it now has a plastic insert inside the top of the lid. My old one doesn't have it. I would like to return it and get one without plastic, but if this one has it too, then it's not the one. Why can't these companies make anything without plastic touching boiling water?

the spigot is plastic but it appears to be made heavier than others I have seen, for what my wife uses it for it can not be plastic. Hope this hepls
