Is the coffee in contact with the plastic as it drips or is it dripping through stainless steel? I want to stop exposure to plastic.

The black material is a high grade plastic of some kind. It does come in contact with the stainless steel. You can buy a glass Hario dripper, but you will have to use a paper filter. I buy #4 filters from Costco and fold them back from one of the corners to make a cone. It works great.

The body is made out of plastic but the screen is steel. If you want to avoid plastic this product is not for you. Try the glass one Hario sells

Any hot water that gets through the metal screen can potentially come into contact with the plastic body before passing on into your cup. I understand wanting to minimize contact with plastic; I bought this filter hoping to minimize the use of paper filters. I actually returned this unit b/c coffee grounds were not filtered well; they were in my cup of coffee, which defeats the purpose of using a filter.

I've had my unit for 8-9 months and have not experienced any problems. The upper portion seems to hold the water "sweat" from heating up, but no malfunctions or other issues. I am assuming your question is about the plastic coffee maker.

I've been pouring coffee out of this carafe for over 6 yrs and have never spilled a drop! Half turn to open and pour away...be sure to close to keep your brew warm. Enjoy.

It doesn't appear so. I looked when I checked the leaks, but it seems to be molded with the plastic around it. Maybe someone else knows something about replacing it that I don't. In all fairness, I've had this coffee maker for several years and it just now is rusting through.

Yes it seems to be completely stainless although as you can see the plunger is a black rubber/dense plastic material nothing that touches the coffee is plastic.

As is noted below the reservoir and lid are mostly plastic, the interior of the pot appears to me to be stainless steel. I have had very good results with this unit. I rinse it with clean cold water after each use and occasionally clean it with hot soapy water and small long handled brush, give it a good rinse and let it air dry. I never once have had bitter coffee, and also would recommend it to anyone.

I can't answer those questions - If I were you, I would direct those questions to the makers of Mr. Coffee via their website. My guess would be that the plastic is NOT BPA free but I could be WRONG!!

Mine drips some. After the espresso is made I drop the capsule into the bin and that stops most of the dripping.

I have not had this problem. When it is turned on and getting warmed up it will some times drizzle out from where the coffee comes. But my machine hasn't leaked.

I have not had that problem at all. Pours without a drop. I wonder if your carafe is defective??

No, I have had no problems with dripping while pouring. I make a pot of coffee in the morning and while it is brewing I put hot water in this carafe. After I pour my first cup of coffee in my cup I transfer the coffee to this carafe. It is hot into the afternoon and still very warm in the early evening.

Not plastic; it is silicone[food grade] http://www.frcndigital.com/coffee/bonavitadripper/drip3.jpg

I have not seen any dripping. I let the coffee settle for a and then pour it. That is because I start to prepare breakfast and the last thing I do is pour the coffee. Even if I am only serving coffee, I get the cups out and etc., then pour the coffee at the table. This again gives some time to settle. This is the best coffee pot I ever owned. Warning....The coffee comes out very hot and stays hot in the pot for a long time. Hope this was useful.

Mine does not drip from the handle either. The only thing that is somewhat annoying is that it dribbles from the spout when pouring the last of the coffee.

It is a great coffee maker. No trouble dispensing. I had a party for my son-used both Styrofoam and plastic-not a problem. No mess either.

It is indeed drip free. Along with how hot it brews the coffee, that's the reason I bought it. You won't be disappointed!

I'm going with the Bodum. Fit needs to be perfect. That's what makes the french press work correctly. Also, I don't recommend plastic. It's tempting because of breakage, but plastic soaks up burnt coffee over time, and it's impossible to get rid of the taste. It's the same reason I don't use drip coffee makers. Taste is awful!
