Super heavy duty clear plastic. I like it better than glass. Less chance of breakage

The cups and pitchers are plastic that I can't imaging ever breaking. No stains or scratches after repeated use and trips through the dishwasher.

Yes, the mixing container is glass. One of the advantages of Osterizer from my point of view.

It is a six cup blender. I have been very pleased with it vs what I saw available in my local big box stores.

The plastic is all BPA free. Some liquid will touch the silicon plastic part on the lid. I never use the lid unless I put something hot in the glass. All parts are dishwasher safe and to make it last longer I turn my heated dry off. I really love this glass I use it everyday!!

the base is heavy duty, I believe it is plastic covering over metal. the processer is plastic and the main blender is glass. it has worked well for us.

The pitcher says it holds 36 oz, which is 4 cups + 4oz. I don't know if the top is BAPA free; I couldn't find any other seller of these pitchers, including the company Kitchen Supply. I bought my first pitcher about 8 years ago, and if the tops are still the same, I'm guessing that they're not BAPA free. You could store the liquid in the pitcher with another top - aluminum foil? and use the cap just for pouring. However, if you don't fill the pitcher up to the very top, the cap won't touch the liquid during storage. I love my pitchers - I can pour water in from the instant hot to make tea, or fill with ice cubes for a cold drink. They have lasted without damage. Hope this helps.

I found this pitcher in a Target store and it was marked as BPA-free. I have been using this make and model since mychildren were babies (now 22-28 yrs old) and have never had a problem except being stained with Kool-aid and tea or melted after being set on a hot stove or chewed on by the dog. It's reassuring to know that it's BPA-free!

The pitcher is NOT made of glass but of, "Stain, cloud and odor proof, durable, high temperature material with glass-like clarity" as stated in the description. It IS some type of plastic.

I also emailed Mr. Coffee about this directly. Unfortunately, the short answer is "No, it is NOT bpa-free." I have pasted the email reply I received underneath the product webpage link for this model, so if you wish you can verify that there is no mention of bpa-free plastic: http://www.mrcoffee.com/iced-tea-makers/BVMC-TM33.html ------------------------------------- Thank you for contacting Mr. Coffee, a brand of Jarden Consumer Solutions.

A kind of plastic. Very high quality. This mixer is used by professional chefs. Not the kind of plastic you'd see in a cheap blender.

Maybe a little too small as this is 41 ounce. Just water down after you pour a glass. Very nice pitcher. I use for iced tea. Nice heavy glass.

BPA free claims are a farce. BPA has been replaced with BPS which is a sister chemical and as dangerous, if not more so than BPA. This pitcher contains part marked with #7 meaning it very likely contains BPS. AVOID!!!

It is glass, at least mine is glass. This is a really nice blender and a great buy!.

I guess BPA-Free means plastic. Full spec.s here: http://www.kitchenaid.com/shop/countertop-appliances-1/countertop-appliances-2/blenders-3/-[KSB1570ER]-404031/KSB1570ER/

I don't know. It is not stated in any literature. But the liquid is only in contact with the glass container except for the brief time it passes through the lid while pouring. I'm anti BPA, but not concerned that this slight contact is significant, assuming there even is BPA in the lid plastic. I've gone over to all glass food storage, but you can't escape the plastic lids. The real danger is if the plastic is heated. Then the additive chemicals can vaporize and enter the food. So no microwaving or leaving the containers out in direct sunlight. I like this pitcher.

The main mixing tools for the mixing bowl are metal. We received the food processor that fits in the top of the machine, I believe it is made from Lexan, a very tough plastic that is used in many things. We have a high end vacuum cleaner made from this material, nothing has broken since purchased in the mid 90s. Hope this is helpful.

The pitcher itself does not contain any markings that would suggest that its BPA and phtalate free. The markings on the bottom specify only that its PP #5 recyclable.
