Is it BPA free? Does the hot water pour out over the plastic?

Do not know about BPA and yes the hot water pours over the plastic. I got rid of it soon after I got it i was not happy with it. Did not hold temp long.

Lining is glass, but pouring spout is same material as exterior. Have no idea about the BPA status, but can't imagine the liquid would pick up potentially harmful agents during the pouring process. But if it is that much of a concern, you probably need to stick to all glass and stainless - until they discover some problem there!!

Yes, the water reservior is made of plastic. I do not know the BPA impact, but I know the coffee is SUPERB.

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.

BPA safe plastic the handle is not silicone. There is no reason to be concerned about burns the handle does not heat up when the hot water is poured in.

I haven't poured boiling water because I usually let it cool a bit so I can sweeten, but I would say it's completely safe since it's BPA free which is minus the chemicals that you would get from a non-BPA container especially when adding boiling water as it can dissolve into the container. It's really a win-win.

I don't know. But I am not concerned as there is no heated water that actually touches the plastic. The heating chamber is stainless steel,

No mention on the packaging about BPA content, but it does say it is drinking water safe. Fittings are not heavy brass, but brass-colored stamped metal.

As it is described on there ads, it should be BPA free. I freeze water in it and it lasts well over an hour in the summer, although condensation might stop you from doing it again

The interior of the pot is entirely stainless steel, so your water will not touch any plastic. So I guess that does make it BPA free by default?

It is plastic, I thought bpa free...works well but I also don't leave it in for long periods and use ice water

I rinsed it off as soon as I opened it and put filtered water in it. Tastes the same as when I drink it out of a cup. Pretty sure it's BPA free...

The water reservoir level indicator, the top, and the handle are BPA-free according to the research I've done. This is only my conclusion and is not intended to be the definitive answer. You can contact Hamilton Beach to get that answer. I bought my kettle based on my research.

Yes. The pot is stainless steel, but the handle and the knob on the top are plastic and heat could cause BPA to leech out from plastic if it's present (this should not be the case with this pot.)

Part of the pump is plastic. I have no ideal on the BPA. I do know this is a heavy duty item. I had a cheaper one from Sams That cost about $20.00 that broke in a few months. It had a glass in side this one does not.

This plastic doesn't need BPA, but it has some horrible endocrine disrupters. Its the additives in the plastic to make it heat resistant. There's also a gasket around the stainless steel heating plate. I have no idea what that is made out of. Perhaps silicone??? but even then, silicone is not safe!!! google siloxanes!Then choose your poison if you want hot water conveniently. You could get a glass water kettle and heated on the stove, or in the microwave... Nothing is perfect!!!

No. I had a direct conversation with Mr coffee, and they could not say it was Bpa free. I got a cuisinart from Costco that is.
