Is the glass all one piece? Do they use silicone inside like some other products to prevent leaks?

Yes there is a silicone seal between the glass and the heating element.The water touches the seal

This is my second Capresso and I am very happy with it. The glass seems to be all in one piece, i do not see any silicone it seems to be a rubber ring on the bottom of the glass around the heating element. There is not leaking, it is very fast and quiet.

Yes, glass is all one piece.. don't know about silicone as the substance... no it does not leak. It's a nicely crafted, pleasant to use, addition to the hot water experience.

I have no idea. It is one piece and the lid hinges. It sits on the heating element. I like it very much.

It is a rigid glass and apparently the "glue" used to seal sections together gives way. My leakagenproblem was with the "sippy" lid .. Wine dripping out from under the lid.

No, it does not. One is not required to prevent leaking, but if you're looking for one to keep it protected there isn't one.

No, you buy it separate. I didn't and ended up using fiberglass window screen instead. That worked in my case. Stopped the leaks.

I have used them a few times and have not noticed the silicone leakage that you speak of or the waxy residue. I can not help, except to say mine do not leak any silicon.

My windows did not have gaskets but it fits snug after you tighten the screws . I compensated for not having gaskets by using silicone. No leaks at all

There is glass included with it and I am happy with it so I have not had the need to purchase more.

Yes. There is a rubber caulk inside which could be easily removed with a screwdriver or other tool. That is all that appears to hold the glass in place.

It is all plexi glass. And there is one hole about the size of a dime in the lid

Hi Kevin,It is all glass and has a ground glass joint as found on expensive laboratory glassware. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_glass_jointIt has worked very well; never leaks but never is hard to remove. I was expecting trouble at first but we love the carafe, best olive oil dispenser/drizzeler out of many we have tried Just don't drop it on the tiles!

No, it's plastic. Mine hasn't leaked though. The glass is a little thin but overall it looks and functions great.

Mine has a glass spout and I haven't experienced any problems with leaking.

It does not come with the container which was a bit of a let down. They are still reusable, but I would keep your fingers down to prevent any leakage.

The bottle has an inside and an outside bottle. They come apart for cleaning. The inside is made of glass and the outside is plastic (non BPA). There are 2 gaskets at the top and one at the bottom cap to make the seal as leakproof as possible. I think they have a video on the Glasstic web site www.glassticwaterbottle.com

No. It is glass on glass. I use them for a bath salt bar in my boutique. No issues!
