What type of plastic is the coffee container made of? Some plastic like polypropylene, is safer than others. Is there a recycle code on the bottom?

The short answer is "I don't know". There is no recycle code on the bottom. The plastic is hard and has no odor whatsoever - it seems quite inert.

There is no code on any of the plastic--hopper nor reservoir. I don't store any coffee in the hopper--I fill it daily with the amount of coffee beans I need to make however many cups for the morning---non issue that way.

It does seem to be a hard plastic, but since this was a gift for family member, I really don't know for sure. I could check sometime later.I can say the Saeco seems reliable - they are very satisfied with it so far from what I've been told.

No. There is no recycle symbol on the bottom. But I've been using this grinder for over a year now and still love it. Much quieter than the Mr Coffee ones like this.

Plastic. Durable, but plastic. All except the metal plate on which you place the cup (stainless). I've had this thing for more than 2 years now, drawing 8 double espresso per day, almost every day, and no problems.

This mug has a recycle code of "7". This is the explanation I found regarding the code"7" You can identify plastics made with BPA by looking for the plastic identification number "7" inside the recycling symbol on their label.Be cautioned, though, because that is just a recycling code. Code 7 refers to plastics that don't have recycling potential. It refers to "all other plastics" not included in codes 1-6. Some are also marked with "PC" for polycarbonate.Read more: http://www.vcstar.com/news/2008/may/16/how-can-you-tell-if-a-bottle-contains-bpa/#ixzz2ZGFH39uE - vcstar.com This mug has a recycle code of "7".

It doesn't say anywhere on the box that it is or isn't BPA Free? I would check the Mr coffee.com site and see what they are made of.

They are plastic with a foil top. The cup can be recycled with #5 plastics.

I purchased a new AeroPress a couple of months ago and it is the dark plastic unlike my original that I purchased years ago. This is from Aerobie.com, the manufacturer: The AeroPress is made of three different plastics. The clear chamber and plunger are made of copolyester. The hard black filter cap, filter holder, funnel, and stirrer are made of polypropylene. The rubber like seal on the end of the plunger is made of a thermoplastic elastomer. All of these materials are FDA approved for use in contact with food. None of these materials contain bisphenol-A (BPA) or any phthalates, chemicals that have been in the news lately because of possible health effects. Aerobie has been shipping AeroPress coffee makers made of the materials described above since August 1st, 2009. Prior to that date, the clear chamber and plunger were made of a very special high humidity and temperature resistant polycarbonate. Polycarbonate does not contain phthalates but it does contain BPA. Even though the FDA and other governmental agencies around the world approve polycarbonate for use in contact with food, we had an independent lab test coffee brewed in a well used AeroPress to determine how much, if any, BPA leaches into coffee brewed in a polycarbonate AeroPress. Absolutely none was detected. Given that result, one could ask why we switched to using copolyester. The answer is simple. The use of copolyester removes any perceived risk from BPA and it is a more attractive material. Even though the independent test lab was unable to detect BPA in the coffee brewed in a polycarbonate AeroPress, people who are concerned about using an AeroPress made of polycarbonate can take advantage of our spare parts policy. Just call the Aerobie Customer Service Department at 1-650-493-3050 and you can purchase replacements for any of the AeroPress parts including the plunger and chamber.

I understand your concern about the plastic as that was one of our concerns but upon arrival discovered it was possible to raise the lid at the time of pouring the coffee so it didn't come in contact with the actual plastic. Its a wonderful French press.

Plastic, but this makes some very good coffee! The coffee bean container is smaller than the last one I had and I think they should make that part larger.

I don't know what it's made of, but it says BPA-free on the bottom of the cup.

Yes, the ground coffee sits in the plastic portion (overnight at my home). No plastic taste, ever. If I plan properly, in the morning, I pull the plug over the carafe while heating my cup of water in the microwave. I have a second carafe so I can make the last cup from that carafe while I start decanting the fresh batch. Wash the empty one and by the time I am ready to go to work, switch the empty and partially-full carafes and head out for the train. When I get home, the process is done and I simply add the second carafe to the first (I tend to use more water than fits in one carafe and get a little overflow on the counter if not careful). Also, I take some coffee liquid in a container to work so I can have a second "best cup in the world" once I'm there.

The exterior is made of plastic. It is sturdy plastic. We have 3 different coffee machines on our counter top. They all seem to be made of similar type plastic. (Mr. Coffee, Nespresso & Keurig).

I don't know what type of plastic the stopper is made of or the lining of the cup, but I have no plastic smell in mine. I use it daily with very hot tea or coffee.

Strange... there is some info on bottom but no 'triangle' with # to indicate the recycle code?? They are a fairly heavy duty plastic and I have been using them for quite some time with no issues to speak of. I would still give them 2 thumbs up.

If you count the outside of cup as one layer and rip it you see a type of paper. The outside is very thinly coated. The inside of the cup has a very thin coating, but not sure if it is plastic. I know that whatever you put in it has great flavor and you don't see any residue of any chemicals. Not sure if this answers your question or not. These are well constructed and keep drinks hot and cold. We like them. They are a better quality then some we have purchased in the past from local retail stores.

The inside is plastic. But I just transfer it to stainless steel mug after it's brewed.
