Is the container that holds the beans and water plastic or glass? I ask because I want no plastic to come into contact with the milk.

Stainless Steel. and the measuring cup is plastic. if you want glass you can use your own container.

Plastic. All the metal pieces are covering plastic. I've since had more issues with gaskets and all the metal has fallen off the thermos.

Plastic. I guess this is the reason you shouldn't put it in the dishwasher, which is one negative about it; my house is old and the kitchen is not ultra modern with deep sinks and pullout spigots, so the container is too tall to set under the faucet and fill with water without causing back-flow into the line. I find the container hard to clean or soak. I had the 1980 vita mix that was smaller and metal container -- it went into the dishwasher fine; I wish they'd bring that back!

The outside is glass, the strainer inside is clear plastic and the lid is rubber or silicone covered. The inside sipper is plastic. Hope that helps

Mine is glass, it has nice plastic that protects the glass but the coffee is made in the glass part.

Hi. I don't know if it is BPA or PVC free. For me it's not big deal. This "ice" won't be in contact with the milk. Just with the external part of the container. You won't put it on microwave either. Inside looks like a gel. The plastic is very thick. I've had two of these for five years and they are like new, and they have been used a lot. Regards

Mr. Coffee's ECMP50 has stainless parts on the places that touch the coffee and the milk. I can't speak to internal parts. The back water reservoir is plastic.

Both the lid and the jar are glass. The spigot is metal and feels well made. Saw no leaks when we used it!

Yes, it is plastic. blahh!!!! I kept it in the fridge to avoid leaching from the plastic. But prefer glass as well.

The handle and the Percolator top is plastic. I recommend getting the glass top.

Hello Jennifer, I mostly purchase the glass containers. I have one plastic container and it does not say anywhere on it whether it is BPA free. I would guess that it would be, but I am not certain at all. Katherine

The cup is not plastic....the cone is plastic. I realy like my Melitta, very handy for me at work as I do not want to use a plug in and forget to turn it off. Great on camping trips as well.

thanks for the information. Just curious why prefer glass container than plastic since the incubating temperature is so low. We are not cooking it with high temperature.

Well the plastic cone at the top is plastic, but the parts that grind the coffee are some form of ceramic and the container that holds the grounded coffee is glass. Hope that helps.

The container that holds the water is plastic. The inside parts are plastic as well. You can get a permanent metal mesh filter to hold the coffee but all else is plastic. Makes great coffee and easy to use. Ellen S.

The lid is plastic. I wouldn't let that deter you from buying a Hydroflask if you don't have ine already! I love mine - still has ice in the morning - keeps coffee hot all day (and no they don't pay me to say that!)

Unfortunately it is plastic. I order this product from iHerb because they carry the glass bottle. it's a tiny bit more; maybe a dollar, but I will pay more for a glass bottle. I really like this stuff. I use it everyday.
