Is this packaged in a plastic bag? I am trying to avoid plastic, most coffee bags (Starbucks currently for me) are not recyclable.

The coffee is in a bag that is foiled lined with a filter to keep it fresh. It is a good bag to safe-keep the coffee! So, do not worry and I hope this helps you.

Yes its plastic. No paper and not (as far as I can tell) recycleable in any way or form.

It' in a mylar "foil pack." Not sure about it's recyclability."You may be familiar with Mylar in shiny helium-filled balloons, solar filters, space blankets, protective plastic coatings or insulators. Here's a look at what Mylar is made of and how Mylar is made.Answer: Mylar is the brand name for a special type of stretched polyester film. Melinex and Hostaphan are two other well known trade names for this plastic, which is more generally known as BoPET or biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate"-About.com

I think all coffee bags are made of two layers, aluminum foil and plastic .

The bags I buy are plastic costed aluminum. I don't know if our recycler is set up to handle this type of material. However, you will not find a better brand of coffee for the money spent. Plain or columbian are both very tasty with no bite.

It comes in a heavy duty plastic bag that is resealable. However, I recommend placing it in an additional plastic bag after opening, the bag zip doesn't hold very well.

When we received ours, it also was not wrapped in any protective plastic. I think that's how they are all shipped. My husband began using it right out of the box after it arrived.

Hello Kathy,My name is Emily Eaton, an employee at Rogers Family Coffee Co., the manufacturer for these San Francisco Bay products. As you know, our biodegradable pods are not encased in a plastic cup, and are therefore exposed to air. Sealed, our pods will remain fresh for a year from the roast date, however, once the outer compostable bag is opened we recommend storing them in an airtight container. I personally use a Snapware container, however, any airtight container will work. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at: service@rogersfamilyco.comWe hope you continue to enjoy!

No; it comes with a small black basket; you drop a disposable filter into the basket & then add your coffee; you can buy a reusable basket as an option from Amazon; I personally like being able to just drop the used filter into the trash; less mess!

There is an insulating liner under the lid, but it does not come in contact with the coffee. No other plastic parts.

It comes in a stiff, re-sealable plastic bag -- but at least you may be able to recycle it. Much of the packaging for loose tea comes in metallic-lined, paper-looking bags which go straight in the garbage.

If you are asking whether the cup is recyclable, then the answer is Yes they are. They are also made of recycled materials. However, your recycle center must be able to accept food contaminated recyclables. Like Pizza Boxes are usually not considered cardboard recyclable because the oils permeate the box. Here is a Dixie publication about all of their products and you can see that the PerfectTouch is there too. http://www.grainger.com/tps/office_equipment_dixie_green_products.pdf

No ... Coffee is placed in the unit in the form of senseo pods which contain the coffee in a filter like material. After use, the pod is removed and thrown in the trash!

No it's plastic!!! And I highly recommend you look at something else!! I bought the original coffee team plus which lasted over 12 years, then I bought this one when it quit heating and it failed to heat only after 2 years

It's plastic, nothing special/more recyclable about this one than any other regular plastic bubble wrap. Some recycling centers will take plastic.

THANK YOU! For informing of the plastic components! I would NOT want to purchase this at this price and find out its critical parts (inner parts) are plastic! You've saved me a lot of hassle. Looks like french press or pour over coffee is the only way to avoid plastic...

It doesn't say anywhere on the box that it is or isn't BPA Free? I would check the Mr coffee.com site and see what they are made of.
