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.

I would visit their website and ask them. Good question! Here is what the Amazon site says: BPA-Free, lead free, cadmium free, toxin-free, worry free glass water bottle product. The company is Glasstic.

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

You can't drink out of this particular water bottle without making contact with the built-in straw. You have to bite down on it to get the water to flow through. Hope that helps!

There is no plastic in this teakettle. The water is held in a glass teapot with metal on the bottom. Maybe the base unit is plastic, but the water does not come in contact with that.

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 just looked and while most of the cap is plastic, the part that touches the water is steel, andthen there is a gasket. So the only plastic that would touch water is a little bit of the gasketseal which insures water proof. This is a quality item of very good manufacture, I love it.

Not personally... even after many drops to hard surfaces, the rubber efficiently protects the glass.I highly recommend Lifefactory bottles!

The lid has no plastic. It is stainless steel. No food touches any plastic.

I am the first one to NOT want plastic touching my 195 degree F water... but 1) this never touches anything but steam and 2) it appears to be made of a nylon-ish/silicone-ish material and is key to keeping the heat in/deflecting some of that heat away from the top - ouch! Bottom line for purists - you can remove it - noting that there are 2 nuts present there one locking down the other and they say to NOT remove it on a sticker... but it is your choice. If you are pouring fast enough to have the coffee touch the plastic - well...you are too desperate for your "fix" and need to slow down and enjoy the moment a bit more - seriously!

It is plastic. Yes the water touches it, but it is made in such a fashion that there is no need to worry about it getting hot. It is like a duel pane window so you can touch the outside ( which is good since that is where the handle is) and it is barely warm with boiling water inside.

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.

The bottle is glass. The cap is plastic. I have no idea if the cap is BPA free but the cap isnt in contact with the fluid except when shaking

Well the cylinder is actually glass, not plastic. But not sure about the lid tho.

Sorry for the delay in responding, having computer issues. I bought two bottles, transferred the contents of both into a larger bottle and don't recall if the original bottle or dropper is glass or plastic. Wish I could be of more help.

The water does not touch any metal. The pitcher part is completely glass except for the lid (which you can just open and pour if you don't want the water to touch the plastic either).
