does the water pass through lots of plastic parts like on pretty much all coffee makers or is there more stainless steel or whatever. Thanks.

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.

It does pass through plastic parts, and the permanent coffee filter which is a wire type mesh ( I like this better than paper) but, it brews the coffee very quickly, and I have never noticed any " plasticky " taste.I enjoy my fresh ground organic coffee every morning and this coffee maker does a great job.I only paid $80 though for mine.....don't know why the price is so high now....

When we first got our coffee pot it also left a lot of water on the counter. I use to get my coffee before the all the coffee brewed. I stopped that and we have not had any more water problem

Sorry if this had been made clear elsewhere, but is this thing completely stainless steel on the inside? Like many others, I don't want anything that has plastic parts getting exposed to the boiling water every time...Thanks!John

No, but in comparing photos they seem comparable; and it is a fine infuser. I use mine for coffee as well, and only the finest of particles slip through; but not much. I like it because it's all stainless. If you don't mind plastic in really hot water, some people prefer the Finum brewing basket. If they made theirs in stainless I'd consider it.

It is all stainless, including the inside. I like mine very much. It makes two cups of water.

The one I have is all glass, the only plastic part is the gasket that is between the top and the bottom unit and it does not come into contact with either the water or the coffee. So no, the water or coffee does not come into contact with plastic.

No its black plastic on the back exterior but the rest is stainless steel. Best damn coffee maker I've ever had. Makes greast coffee and espresso/lattes. It even has some hot chocolate attachement.

The water reservoir is made of plastic and the filter holder is plastic. This I've found is typical of other coffee makers including Krupps. The caraffe interior is stainless.

The working parts are all stainless steel, but of course the base and handle will be of a plastic material but nothing that comes into contact with the water contents. At the back of the kettle there is a clear plastic window that shows the amount of water in the kettle. This appears to be a small reservoir and again does not appear to be part of the main water containment area. The filter inside is of a high density nylon mesh. The lid exterior is plastic but the lid interior appears to be stainless steel.Hope that helps.

Pat, I don't know. Water is mostly in contact with stainless steel, on the interior there are two pieces of plastic where the handle is attached and the rim holding the lid is plastic and does contact the water as it is poured out. It has been an excellent kettle for us, just do not know about the BPA, sorry.

It doesn't appear so. I looked when I checked the leaks, but it seems to be molded with the plastic around it. Maybe someone else knows something about replacing it that I don't. In all fairness, I've had this coffee maker for several years and it just now is rusting through.

The coffeemaker is all stainless steel, except the black heat resistant plastic handles. And it works great. AF.

No plastics or aluminum in this coffeepot. I do wish it had a little glass thingy on the top so I could see the coffee perk.

I opted for this after deciding to avoid plastic kettles...There are a couple of tiny plastic rivets inside the kettle body and a detachable plastic filter, but otherwise the kettle body appears to be all stainless steel.

Short answer: yes it's stainless steel Aside from the rubber gasket and gold plated decorated parts it is all stainless. Everything that comes in contact with the water/coffee is stainless steel.

I bought my Brew and Go in 2008. It makes 1-3 cups a day and works fine. Early reviews complained about the plastic look etc. Now for the price you are not going to get stainless steel. I use a small paper filter put two scoops of grinds in, insert into basket kind of folded over. Coffee comes out great and it prevent having to clean the basket too often. Yes it is plastic and feels flimsy but works and works and works.

The only plastic exposed to the water in the kettle is the sight window that shows the water level. Other wise it is all stainless steel.
