Does the water/coffee touch any plastic at all?

The coffee pot has a sight glass (made of glass) where the handle attaches to see the level of liquid. There are two small silicone rubber gaskets at the top and bottom of the sight glass tube. Everything else that touches coffee is either glass or stainless steel.

There is 2 small plastic or rubber parts on the inside of the pot that is there to keep the handle on. You have nothing to fear about this coffee pot. I've had this for a couple of years now and have had no problems with taste or function and the coffee tastes great and it makes a hot cup of coffee!!!! Joann

I have not seen that it touches plastic anywhere. There is a silicon gasket between the glass metal part of the lid, but it doesn't get liquid on it.

Just being honest as I hope everyone would be if I had a question that need answering. Glad I could help!!

No it does not. I purchased it because I had concerns about the plastic in my old coffee pot. It is all stainless steel except for the handle and of the coarse the top has a glass peculator cup to see the coffee while it perks. We love the pot it makes a great cup of coffee and it is HOT!!!

No. There is no plastic. And the coffee is very hot. I use liquid cre creamer so it is till hot after I add it.

Any hot water that gets through the metal screen can potentially come into contact with the plastic body before passing on into your cup. I understand wanting to minimize contact with plastic; I bought this filter hoping to minimize the use of paper filters. I actually returned this unit b/c coffee grounds were not filtered well; they were in my cup of coffee, which defeats the purpose of using a filter.

i see no plastic elements inside the kettle. The underside appears to be all stainless.

No, good question. The only plastic is on the spout and the handle. You flip the spout to pour and the handle does not touch the water.

No, there are no plastic parts on the inside. The handle is the only thing that is plastic. It's the reason I bought this one, I too did not want my coffee touching plastic. You'll be good with this one, get it.

I have no idea; however, there is very little plastic coming in contact with your beverage

There is an insulating liner under the lid, but it does not come in contact with the coffee. No other plastic parts.

There is no plastic on the interior of the kettle and water doesn't touch any plastic on the kettle in normal use.

The container that holds the water is plastic. The inside parts are plastic as well. You can get a permanent metal mesh filter to hold the coffee but all else is plastic. Makes great coffee and easy to use. Ellen S.

No plastic inside. However, I had several other issues with this coffee maker, but it all comes down to very bad tasting coffee. I do not think the water was hot enough. Coffee was always bitter.

The lid is plastic, but I pour hot coffee into another cup so it never touches the plastic.

Assuming Bialetti has made no changes to the product since I purchased it last year, the answer is NO, THE WATER DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH PLASTIC.

Nope, there's no plastic on the inside whatsoever, except at the very top but the water would never touch it.

No plastic does not come in contact with boiling water. The water gauge on the inside that meets feels like glass yes the lid is the only problem that I had and hasn't been a problem recently. The water gauge on the surface feels plastic but if concerned about something check with manufacturer

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.

The interior is all plastic, including the filter basket. (Although they do supply a a reusable, metal basket- that I do not use. The carafe is glass with plastic top. The water goes through a paper filter and into the glass carafe - so I guess, technically, the brewed coffee has very little contact with plastic.

Everything that will be submerged in hot coffee is stainless steel. The only plastic exposed to the inside of the press is the underside of the lid. I have never tasted or smelled any plastic odor.
