I need a glass water bottle that never comes in contact with any plastic or rubber....ever...even the lid. Does the water touch plastic or rubber?

The water will touch the plastic lid, it won't touch rubber. As much as I like this product, initially, it broke within a month. I accidentally dropped it and it shattered. If you're not clumsy, this is a good product.

Yes, the lid is plastic so if it is on its side or upside down, the water will come in contact with plastic.

If a water bottle has a lid and does not leak there must be a soft seal. (To the best of my knowledge anyway.) I don't think it is possible to have a water bottle that never comes in contact with any plastic or rubber with a lid that seals.

The underside of the lid is plastic and could touch the water. You may want to watch the video on the life factory website to see the bottle closer up. https://www.lifefactory.com/product/glass-bottle-with-classic-loop-cap-and-silicone-sleeve-22-oz-orange

If you don't fill it to the top it won't touch the lid. Maybe you could put a piece of foil over the top before placing the lid on it.?.?.? But if you move it around, it's bound to hit the lid. I d love this bottle, it is a very sturdy piece of glass.

Yes and No. The rubber type plastic is like a sleeve for the glass bottle. However the valve is a plastic piece, much like just about every other sippy cup on the market.

Actually, I just checked, and the lid is rubber--so, no plastic in that either.

It has a protective layer of metal and plastic BPA free inside. I dropped once after a particularly hard workout in the gym and my water bottle had no more than a few scratches. Beyond that, not only survived the fall, also nothing spilled.

I've been getting it in GLASS bottles. Great stuff. PS - I'm personally getting away from plastic bottles.There are many 'leeching' issues with plastic bottles that sit in the hot summer sun - WATCH OUT !!

I can't help you on that question. The first one that I bought had a rubber lid. It still works fine. The 2nd one had a plastic lid and it cracked quickly. However, I must report that the cracked plastic lid still works well.

Only stainless touches the liquid. There is plastic in the lid, but it doesn't touch the liquid when the lid is screwed on.

it's definitely not glass . probably a good high impact plastic.. it is also leak proof on it's side. i really like them and have 3.

The lid id plastic, but this would not come in contact with the water unless you held it upside down. There is also a screen in the spout that is stainless, but this fine screen is held in place with a thin black plastic ring that has a small splash guard at the top. It is too high to be in constant contact with the water until poured. So this plastic only incidentally contacts the water briefly. We use the pot every day and it is the best electric tea pot we have ever owned or used.

Yes there is plastic in the lid. If you keep the water level below max the boiling water wont touch the top. I'll only come in contact when pouring.

No, there are no plastic parts inside the kettle. So water does not touch non plastic parts.

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

This bottle isn't insulated. It's a thicker plastic - the water will stay cold if you put ice in it - it will stay cold about the same amount of time it does in a plastic glass.

You'll have ask Chef's Choice about the composition of the plastic. They have a customer service number on their website. The body of the unit is glass. The top is plastic, so the water is only in contact with it when pouring.

Sorry, but I don't know. I've been concerned about that some myself, but it's at least a better option than the plastic bottles. Otherwise I've been very happy with it. :-)

Using it right now. Love it. No, the plastic does not touch the liquid, but acts as a cool grip to the glass container.
