Well, is it BPA free, or not?

I also emailed Mr. Coffee about this directly. Unfortunately, the short answer is "No, it is NOT bpa-free." I have pasted the email reply I received underneath the product webpage link for this model, so if you wish you can verify that there is no mention of bpa-free plastic: http://www.mrcoffee.com/iced-tea-makers/BVMC-TM33.html ------------------------------------- Thank you for contacting Mr. Coffee, a brand of Jarden Consumer Solutions. In response to your inquiry regarding BVMC-TM33; unless it is listed on the website, it is not BPA free. At Jarden Consumer Solutions (JCS), we are committed to producing trusted household products that meet or exceed applicable product standards. BPA is a key component in the production of polycarbonate plastics. Polycarbonates (PC) are used in a variety of applications in the appliance industry where strength, durability and clarity are required. BPA is also present in certain thermo set epoxies used in coatings, adhesives, paints, etc. Phthalates are primarily used in vinyl to make the material more pliable/flexible. A vast majority of our products are made from BPA free plastics such as Polypropylene (PP), Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN), High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), Polyethylene (PE), etc. and inorganic materials such as glass, which do not contain BPA. Currently, Polycarbonates (PC) continue to be recognized as safe for food contact applications by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). JCS purchases Polycarbonates (PC) from trusted suppliers, who monitor to ensure what they sell complies with all current federal, state and local health and safety regulations. We appreciate your business and are happy to help if you have any further questions or concerns. Sincerely, Gordon Jarden Consumer Solutions

I know you posted this question some time ago, but I received the BVMC-TM33 today, 1/8/15, and the outside of the box states that it is BPA Free. So, if it was questionable before, it's answered now!

It doesn't have a number inside the chasing arrows so I don't know what type of plastic it is.

No, there is a little plastic as well, which they say is BPA free. I'm sure you can call the company and ask to confirm.

I didn't see readily on the box or owner's manual, but googling it shows (on the company website) that it is BPA free.

I'm afraid I gave it to my mom a while ago because it was too big for my fridge, so I can't look for myself...but another reviewer says that it is indeed BPA-free.

You have to be careful. The older ones aren't BPA free but the newer ones are.

Yes it is! I emailed the company to ask because I wasn't sure, and they replied saying it's 100% BPA free.

Not sure if it is BPA free. However; when I used it I gave it a quick flush and it didn't have any abnormal taste.

It is in a plastic jar but it doesn't specifically state BPA free. I assume it is however. It has seemed to be a quality product to me so far.

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 :)

According to their website, it is BPA-free... most of their products are, and if they are not, they mention it. It's a great product, I highly recommend!

I just chatted with an Amazon customer service rep who checked their internal catalogs to confirm that IT IS BPA FREE! Hope this helps.
