Is the plunger BPA free?

unknown - if you're concerned about chemicals, you can make you own pusher from a 1 1/2" dia. hardwood dowel - cut to size, and save the remainder for spares

Does it really matter? You're not heating it, so it is unlikely that you would be exposed to any BPA if in fact it was manufactured with BPA.... Amazing how too little knowledge leads to ignorance.

I do not know for sure (not marked), it feels like it's made from a hard plastic, it has a smooth finish. You can find wooden ones online. The grinder is great, works smoothly, no metal shavings in your food.

no, there was no plastic but the plunger came apart after the second times of use. I'm going to return it.

BPA free, I'm not sure. The first use, it had a little plastic taste. The more you use it, the less the plastic taste. It fills easily and washes and dries easy as well. Make sure it has completely dried before storage or you will have a musty taste. I love this bladder, I have had no problem such as leaking or hard to use.

Lisa; The Emsa Perfect Beaker is BPA free. You can see that assertion on the manufacturer's web site ( http://frieling.com/products/kitchen-essentials/ ). The Emsa Perfect Beaker is made by Freiling.

I wish it was, but as it came out long before the BPA news, I doubt it is. I really wish Oster would make a BPA-free updated version of this, because I loved mine! ... for now, it's glass Ball jars. Don't fit well in a cupholder, but less potentially toxic.

Yes it is BPA free, and I think that you would be very happy with the proformance of the carafe. Where alot of others carafes get to a point where they "glug" a bit, this one doesn't! I have since bought several more of these at my husband's request, and we like them alot. We use them every day.

Yes, the plunger is included. It comes in the box shown along with an extra fine tip you can put on for finer application.

I know this is an old question, but in case anyone new is looking, The new version of this Kettle that is out now (2015) has BPA Free written on the plastic water level viewing area. I emailed customer service asking if the old version was BPA free - It was not, but the new one is. They are replacing mine for free with the upgraded version.

Yes, it is. There's a mark on the front of the packaging indicating that it is BPA free.

Yes, the user manual states that the cups are BPA free. Hope this answers your question.

It does not say BPA free on the cup. It has a number 2 inside the recycling symbol on the bottom of the cup.

The documentation for the kettle does not say it is BPA free. Since the pot has two plastic viewing inserts I suppose it is possible for it to emit BPA.

The container is made of polycarbonate and I don't know if it is BPA free. It is a great blender, unbeatable in power for frostiness and smoothies.

I wasn't sure. The box just says that it's BPA free. So, I looked up information at the AeroPress product site: "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." This is quoted directly from the AeroPress site: http://aerobie.com/Products/Details/AeroPressMaterialsDescription.htm. There is much more information there to read. Finally, since they have been making the AeroPress with the aforementioned materials since August 2009, I think you can be assured that you will get those materials regardless of where you buy an AeroPress now.

The small stirring attachments are plastic but not sure if they're BPA free. The majority of the item is stainless steel.

The plunger is in sterile packaging and not designed for reuse. If reused it should be sterilized prior to repacking. Consider the risk of infection or contamination before deciding to reuse what is designed as a disposable item. My .02

I have not used the plunger often enough to be able t answer your question.
