Hello, I'm looking for a plastic free carafe to keep my coffee hot after making in my Chemex coffee maker. Do you know if this has any plastic parts? Thank you, Julie

No, no plastic. The stopper is rubber and it tends to degrade a bit (get somewhat sticky) over time, but no plastic.

I have the same problem! It doesn't keep the coffee hot for long. I had another model stainless steel carafe also no hot plate that kept my coffee hot much much longer. Very disappointed in thst!

There is no rubber or plastic inside the pot. I really enjoy this pot. It has metal legs so you can keep the coffee hot by setting it on your stove. It's a great coffee maker!

This is a wonderful carafe, makes delicious coffee. It includes the lid and the funnel. It is thermal glass lined. You never put it on the stove to heat as the bottom of the carafe is heavy-duty plastic; the carafe keeps the coffee warm for hours as it sits on your cabinet. No more re-heated or burnt-tasting coffee or scorched pot!

we only used ours for a couple weeks. I thought I could taste plastic. Ended up odering a percolator coffee pot and we love it

Yes it is primarily plastic (and metal). We have owned two over 20 years and can't think of how many broken glass carafes we have been spared. John O'Neill

love this coffee maker & yes the coffee reservoir is plastic with a stainless steel bottom which sits onto a metal heating plate. note: coffee has a tendency to taste like plastic when left heated for a long time. i dont clean mine as directed i just rinse it.

No, the carafe is heat-resistant glass, with plastic handle. We think the machine does a good job, and has convenient features. Good Buy.

I think you can be as satisfied with a glass carafe. There is a noted decrease in temperature using the thermo carafe after the third cup. Have you noticed how quick the coffee maker shuts off after brewing? I think that contributes to the reduction in temperature and I have experienced your problem. At times I have just turned on the maker without adding any more water. On other occasions, I have made another pot. The carafe for the thermo pot is difficult to clean. I have tested the temp and it has registered 202 degrees at the first cup. One of the reasons I purchased it.

Carafes are glass. Plastic would not be suitable for the hot plate feature! This unit works very well.

I have called Melitta and since they have discontinued this model (MEMB1) there are NO replacement parts. They did give me the part numbers to search on the internet for the replacement carafe (MEMBCFW - white or MEMBCFB - black). I am very frustrated, and I feel that I may have to throw the whole coffee maker away. This is not a very customer friendly product or company if they don't have replacement parts!

Yes, this coffeemaker does produce a "smell" of hot plastic when it brews; the worst part, though, is that the coffee TASTES like plastic. We had a Mr. Coffee model that made GREAT coffee for approximately 7 years - OH! That I could find THAT MODEL again! I am online looking for a replacement for this coffeemaker. Any suggestions?

Yes but not vastly so! I dare say the coffee tastes better as there are no plastic components anywhere..the coffee is delicious out of it! And as a bonus it looks great on the counter..hope this helped!

I understand your concern about the plastic as that was one of our concerns but upon arrival discovered it was possible to raise the lid at the time of pouring the coffee so it didn't come in contact with the actual plastic. Its a wonderful French press.

no the bottom is plastic, but this carafe will keep drinks warm for 6 hours or longer. It has a thermos type liner. We LOVE ours!

I ordered a new carafe from Amazon for our KithenAid 14 cup coffee maker. The carafe they supplied me works very well. In fact, I prefer it over the original that came with the coffee maker. The new carafe does not have the molded plastic under the lid. The lid rests on the top of the glass carafe. The replacement box has a # W10505658 CARAFE. Interestingly, made by Whirlpool. I like the new carafe.

My opinion it is the same other than the coffee only contacts ceramic and silicon( valve ) instead of plastic. Also, the ceramic pulls some of the heat out of the brew unless you preheat
