Is there any plastic parts? And if so do they touch the liquid?

Well, every part is plastic, and is in touch with the brewing coffee the whole time. IMO, this does not affect the flavor and/or quality of the coffee.

The bottom of the coffee pot has black silcon on it and its coming off flaking into the coffee. No plastic parks.Nina gillsonnblondangel9@aol.com

Yes there is plastic parts, the basket and the column itself is plastic as well as the inside of the Percolator. It does touch the liquid, but I can tell you that you can't taste any plastic taste and that it for the money is a good Percolator. If you decide to buy it, make sure you buy the little disk filters from Melitta. It say's you don't need them, but it work better with the little flat disk filters. Hope this was of help to you.

No, none at all. Inside it's only metal. There is no water level indicator (only amount of water you are pouring into it and max indicator, all metal). The only plastic in the inside would be the top lid. But water would not touch it directly when boiling, I guess the steam does. Water is only in contact with metal from base to top.

I also found this difficult to tell - at first glance it does seem like the glass container is a complete unit sitting on top of the metal plate, but once I reached my hand in and had a closer look, I would agree that the water does seem to touch the metal. That being said, the water doesn't touch any plastic components, which I'm more concerned about. I love this kettle, it works great!

The Only plastic parts are the underside of the lid and a little on the inner part of the spout - otherwise all metal surfaces

There isn't any plastic in the kettle, other than a small mesh filter for the spout to block particulates from being poured out. The rest of the kettle interior is stainless steel, VERY durable and sturdy. It's a Cuisinart after all!

No, there is a little plastic as well, which they say is BPA free. I'm sure you can call the company and ask to confirm.

No, there is no plastic, except the handle. The plunger and its components are all metal, so yes they are all in contact with the water. The lid is chrome but since it is a high dome, it doesn't come into contact with the water.

There are no plastic parts inside. The entire lid is plastic, but if you open it to pour, it doesn't touch the water. This is what I do. FYI, it does not heat 8 cups - the fill line is more like 5.

I looked it over and the only plastic is the water gauge which would not necessarily touch the water. I bought this one precisely because there is no plastic touching the water. I like it BTW!

Yes, it has contact with plastic. The window showing the amount of water in the kettle is plastic.

There is no plastic that I'm aware of. We have this faucet in our laundry room and works great.

No. There are no plastic components inside this press. The entire assembly is stainless steel.

Nope, there's no plastic on the inside whatsoever, except at the very top but the water would never touch it.

There is plastic inside the body - above the area where the water level is and near the spout. The lid's knob is plastic.

No, they have liquid. Unless you split them with a knife but you'll need to be careful with the liquid as it will surely spill.

Yes, plastic. What I like most about it is the small hole in the spout. Something I have found hard to find.
