Are there plastic parts in this carafe and if so is it BPA-free?

All black parts you can see in the photo are plastic of some sort. I did some research and found this on a product description for a water boiler, here on Amazon. "All Zojirushi products are BPA-free. The inner container of the water boiler is stainless steel with nonstick coating, the inner lid is stainless steel, and both are BPA-free. Some gaskets and the outer lid that may come into contact with water are silicone or plastic, and also do not contain BPA." While this carafe differs on some materials, ie the interior is glass, I feel this answers the question. Enjoy.

Yes there are plastic parts in it. As for BPA Free, I'm not a chemist. There are no Plastic type symbols on it.

There are some plastic parts, although as far as I can tell they're all on the outside i.e. with the exception of the stopper, and the pouring spout, they're on the skin of the carafe. The coffee sits in a glass inner container and doesn't tough any plastic until it's poured. I don't know whether the plastic components are BPA-free, although since the coffee isn't in constant contact with any plastic as far as I can tell, I don't think that's much of a concern.

The interior is stainless steel but it has a few small plastic parts. The lid and the filter around the pour spout are both made with plastic parts and hot water does come into contact with them. I don't know if they are BPA free. But the kettle works really well...the water is truly boiling when it clicks off.

I'm not sure, I don't remember if the packaging indicated if the plastic parts were BPA-free. It's not indicated on the actual unit itself. You can contact Proctor Silex customer service to get specific details on what is/is not BPA-free in their kettle lineup.

No, plastic, stay away from this machine. It looks nice but coffee taste is not that good and the machine breaks easily.PLUS, service might not be what you'd expect from that supposedly reliable and known company.

Yes. It is plastic. But I'm hoping that it is BPA free. Maybe you should check with Brita to be certain. But overall, I like it. Water taste great and no chlorine taste. Just follow the directions when adding/changing filters

Yes. No coffee brewed from this product with the supplied parts will contain any BPA. See paragraph two.http://aerobie.com/Products/Details/AeroPressMaterialsDescription.htm

mine is bpa free plastic according to the manufacturer. I have had bubba cups for what seems like eternity would not trade them for any stainless steel cup out there.

No plastics or aluminum in this coffeepot. I do wish it had a little glass thingy on the top so I could see the coffee perk.

I have only found two very small places that are plastic. The viewing area on the lid is plastic and a tiny slot for the filter is plastic. I'd say 99% is NOT plastic. BPA free? I do not know. I can say that the water tastes the same after heating as it did when it came out of the faucet. In other words, the heated water does not have an "off" taste. I really like this kettle and would buy another if I need to.

Hi,The carafe is made of glass, the cooling stick some high quality plastic. The feel of the materials is good and I am yet to see any signs of wear - I am fully satisfied with the product.

Yes, the brew basket is plastic and there is a long plastic tube that extends from the lid of the carafe which funnels the coffee to the bottom of the carafe.

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

Good question. It is glass but I know of no replacement for it. It's a standard 10 cup carafe and I would think it wouldn't be that difficult to find one. By the way, I really enjoy this coffee maker, and would never go back to a percolator.

I don't know about BPA free, but the lid is the only plastic part inside. The handle is totally external. It's a very nice kettle and works well. Inside is totally stainless, except for hard plastic lid that covers it.

The mug does have a part of the lid BPA free plastic. The exterior and interior of the mug is stainless steel.

The interior is all plastic, including the filter basket. (Although they do supply a a reusable, metal basket- that I do not use. The carafe is glass with plastic top. The water goes through a paper filter and into the glass carafe - so I guess, technically, the brewed coffee has very little contact with plastic.
