I don't know if I like the fact that the hot liquid touches any plastic. Can anyone confirm that the plastic is 100% BPA free?

My Bodum is tempered glass not plastic. I bought it thinking it was plastic for travel purposes. It's large and holds a lot of liquid. For travel I wish I would have chosen a smaller one. For home, it's great.

Bodum states that "all Bodum products are BPA free." I went directly to their site to confirm this specifically about the coffee press. Hope that alleviates your concerns! Blessings.

I can't confirm the BPA content but the only plastic it touches is when you pour the coffee. It does not touch any plastic during brewing or while it sits.

That is a valid concern. I doubt there is BPA in the plastic on the Bodum. BPA is added to plastic to make it flexible which is why it was in baby bottles and water bottles. The cap on the Bodum is rigid. So rigid I believe it would break before flexing. For that reason I believe it is exremely unlikely the plastic on the Bodum contains any BPA.

I inquired as to whether there was BPA in the plastic components of this kettle & received this reply: Thank you for your email and interest in Bonavita kettles. "All plastic used in our products is BPA free."

Another reviewer said they contacted the company and confirmed it was BPA free, however, there is no indication on the packaging that it is, also I personally do not feel that it is based on the taste of the water. Read my review for more details.

I called the company and was told that all plastic in the kettle is BPA-free. Glad there are others who are concerned about this as well :)

I would suggest not using this product with hot coffee. Even though it is BPA free does not mean the plastic is free of all bisphenols. Although their website does say that the plastic is tested at high FDA standards to be microwave safe most plastics will still leech estrogenic and/or androgenic chemicals and high temperatures.

It's plastic, not really sure whether it's bpa free. We hardly used it. We bought a thermos that stainless inside work better. Hope this help.

I checked, and I cant find anywhere where it says BPA free, so Im going to assume its not BPA free.

Mine stated that it was BPA free on the packaging when I got it. Also, the interior of the thermos is uncoated stainless steel, which is BPA free, always.

Hello, Thank you for validating my concerns, people! I am concerned now that I found out that the Deer Park water jugs that are delivered at work have BPA. they use plastic # 7. So now I have to find out how to heat water (that i bring from home) to work?

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?

Not sure if it BPA free or not, cause have bought mine a few years ago, so don't have a package. The lid is plastic inside. It can contact the water if you pour too too much and it is boiling and touching the lid. If you add regular amount of water, it doesn't happen. Yes, you need to open the lid to pour water.

Don't know if it is BPA free. But it really works. We've purchased several as gifts. Recipients do have a confused look until they try it. Some are too intimidated. I'd say do not use it any more than you would eat mercury laden fish, if you are worried. The fish recommendation is not more than once a week. Or go back to your boiling pot of water and guess wrong as I do, one half the time about the taste of al dente. I get head slapped by my Italian mom, yes, about half the time when I used boiling water in a pot. and kissed on the cheek when I use Fast Pasta Cooker.

I think it's plastic because there is no comment anywhere about the BPA free.

I use it mainly for iced tea but have never noticed any plastic taste. This is my second container and I'd order it again.I wouldn't wash it with really hot water. Just lukewarm will do.

I guess I haven't tried with any hot liquids yet, but it seems like it would be ok. It's made of a fairly sturdy plastic.

"BPA free" is a gimmick. Read the science:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bpa-free-plastic-containers-may-be-just-as-hazardous/?&WT.mc;_id=SA_WR_20140813Don't ask if it is BPA free, but rather if any plastic comes in contact with water, including the lid where hot steam condenses back in. This and all the electric I have seen have this problem. Some stove top teapots do not have plastic at all and I would recommend those.

I looked at the box and it doesn't mention if it is bpa free or not. Maybe the reynolds web site will mention something regarding this.
