What is the spigot made of plastic or stainless steel? BPA free? Does it say if glass is lead-free?

I don't know if it is BPA free but it is an entirely plastic spigot. There is a rubber piece in between the glass jar and the plastic spigot.

Yes it is lead free. If you Google the question, you will see several articles which confirm it is lead free glass.

I have the he version for my kombucha. The spigot is plastic and it's terrible, I just tried cleaning it out and it still barely drips. I plan to buy a stainless less steel spigot also offered on Amazon. I have always read that stainless steel is actually preferable for kombucha brewing, even compared to glass and especially plastic.

The faucet is made of both metal and plastic. The handle and top portion of the faucet are made of metal and are chrome-plated. The bottom of the faucet, under the spigot, is plastic, as are many components within.

The only plastic inside is for the spigot which is very small. The rest is stainless steel and the filters. Best tasting water...very fresh, odorless, crisp...

Not sure what the packaging says, but the hose is plastic, so I would assume that it is lead free based on that. Don't have anything concrete to though.

Mine is well made with stainless. I would assume the brass one would be brass, not plastic.

I think it's glass. I was worried about the plastic (metal-looking) spigot, since some people had complained of leakage, but that's NOT a problem. You reach in and unscrew and remove the spigot entirely and you can wash the glass part in the dishwasher, gently wash the spigot by hand and reinstall. The inside nut governs tightness---and leaks.

It's got a recycle # of 5 and it's not lines. according to the web: 'Safe' metal bottles that are most likely BPA-free are those made of stainless steel, which are more corrosion resistant. Stainless steel bottles tend not to have any epoxy resin liners. (http://www.worldpublicunion.org/2013-06-01-NEWS-plastic-numbers-to-avoid-bpa-numbers.html) I hope that helps.

Hi Michael,Don't know if it is BPA free. The water doesn't touch the plastic lid, unless you over fill it, I suppose. The max fill lines are very clear. You don't have to open the lid to pour, it is an option. I haven't had any issues with mine, we love it! Its the best one I've ever owned. Hope this helps.Alison

I got the Stainless Works™ Stainless Steel Beverage Dispenser Replacement Spigot(Polished Finish) and it fits great. It's more durable and pulp, etc doesn't clog it like the plastic ones. It costs more, but worth it.

I think it was aluminum but don't remember. I returned it as spigot leaked.

The spigot is plastic. I do worry about that but it works well and doesn't leak. It is the only negative about this beautiful beverage jar dispenser. The stand and lid are chromed metal.

Hi .. spigot is plastic but sturdy. It can be removed to be replaced, but be careful not to chip the glass of the actual dispenser. When replacing and reattaching, do not over tighten. Hope this helps.

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!!
