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.

The lid is made out of plastic, so yes. It would touch the plastic of the lid as you drink it unfortunately. It's a great mug though!

Hi BPA is only ever found in plastic. The water is held in a glass container. That is probably why they don't mention BPA. Hope that helps :)

No, I have not tried plastic. I would think if you use this...and oil gets on the bottle...it would become slippery and not easy to use.

I have the glass bottles and a plastic sippy cup and they both use the same type of nipple. I wondered this same question and thought perhaps it had something to do with the bottle being plastic or glass. Otherwise I wanted glass anyways so I guess it didn't matter enough for me to put out a question about it. Call the company.

No, the water is never in contact with plastic. The company fixed that. And, YES, I definitely add 2 drops of liquid, concentrated sea minerals to each glass of water that I drink (Concentrace brand). Otherwise, the body will start leaching minerals from the bones to maintain proper biochemistry.

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.

The straw is plastic and I have not found it to affect taste. Fabulous water bottle

I think it does...but mine actually broke off fairly quickly, so I was a little disappointed in the thing overall. The water bottle itself is good (no aftertaste), it doesn't leak, and I like the "mechanism" of how the nozzle works. Just disappointed in the cover. Certainly you can snap it off easily if you need to!

I have found that the thickness and sturdiness of the plastic is what's most important. I have discovered that a dish washing liquid bottle (Palmolive, Dawn, etc.) works the best. All of the plastic water bottles I've tried are too flimsy and collapse when squeezed to discharge the water.

Yes. The bottle is glass and the top is metal. I've had mine for ages now. I think it keeps forever!

There is no hard plastic in this cup. The green parts you see are a rubbery silicon-type material. So liquids can touch the green gasket at the top, but that's it. The rest is all glass.

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

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.

I have not done this. I have used a block of ice. I don't particularly care for putting plastic in the drinking water.

I am looking to replace my Bodum, which finally broke. I bought a Bodum replacement and was horrified to find that it now has a plastic insert inside the top of the lid. My old one doesn't have it. I would like to return it and get one without plastic, but if this one has it too, then it's not the one. Why can't these companies make anything without plastic touching boiling water?
