Is this coffee checked for mold? Mold is one of the most toxic things on coffee in the US.

Having read some of the same books as you, and being extremely sensitive to chemicals and toxins, I can only tell you that I've used this coffee and I've used bulletproof coffee and both have had no issues and very positive results. I know 3 other people who have tried the process using regular coffees and had significantly less positive results. So, there you go, that's what I know.

No. It stinks of plastic. This model stinks more than the cheaper Mr. Coffee models, which is surprising. I sent it back.

The black stuff is oxide developed from the silver, it is not harmful, you could pour it through a coffee filter if desired.

It is but be careful, this filter left these white blobs of almost jelly like material in our cups and we had to throw it away out of fear. Looks scary.

How do you know that it needs cleaning? The error light could indicate a problem with the heating filament, or something stuck in front of the spout out of which the coffee pours.

Plastic. And no matter how many times I've cleaned it with vinegar the water still tastes like it's toxic or something. In fact, I left it dry for several weeks and it still smells like that dry! B&D; just doesn't make quality coffee makers anymore.

it is an odd construction. the only plastic that could touch the coffee is the phalange of the top. if you look at the photo you can seethe black lip of the top. it only touches the foam not the actually coffee. The pour lip which keeps the grounds in place is plastic.

I have been tested for mold toxins and a doctor told me to use this product. He said it does kill mold and to use it as a disinfectant as well. I spray it everywhere including my rugs.

No...this is an air test which can pickup the amount of mold or other allergens in your air. It is very accurate and allows for outdoor test, a control room test, and the room you want to check which can be compared to the other two.

well it is easy to clean to me. The coffee residue will be in a cake form so what you need to do is put the coffee cake in the trash can or save it for other use. Every part else can be rinse with water. Hope this helps you. :)

I don't understand how all these people managed to kill their coffee makers. I've had mine for 4 years, and have abused the crap out of it! Read my reviews! I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. Maybe I just got one of the good ones, who knows.

IMHO : Good Coffee [Pots] should be Aluminum and Plastic free; and free from the toxic by-products created by the processing of the liquid Coffee {Hot Acid Bath} through (in contact with) the Aluminum and Plastic. ~ RHF

No. We have used this product for the last eight months every day and had no problems with mold.

I am not sure, but it is the type of hard, clear plastic that usually does not contain BPA. It is not a worry for me since there is no chance of any BPA leeching out. It rarely comes in contact with the coffee and there is no liquid involved. In fact, the lid usually remains completely clean after grinding. This is the best grinder I have had and highly recommend it!

yes as far as I know the alkaline strips will let you know if the beverage is alkaline. BTW coffee is highly acidic
