Is the middle layer made from plastic or paper? Has anyone torn these cups apart to see?

If you count the outside of cup as one layer and rip it you see a type of paper. The outside is very thinly coated. The inside of the cup has a very thin coating, but not sure if it is plastic. I know that whatever you put in it has great flavor and you don't see any residue of any chemicals. Not sure if this answers your question or not. These are well constructed and keep drinks hot and cold. We like them. They are a better quality then some we have purchased in the past from local retail stores.

I cut one open to see the insulated layer and honestly I am not entirely sure. It is not like a firm plastic (think Red Solo cup) but more like an extremely thin layer (.25 cm) of a foam-like material you might see used for packing between china but VERY thin. My guess is it is a paper/plastic blend composite of some sort but I couldn't tell you for sure. It is certainly not like a styrofoam, though. Hope this helps.

The cups for brewing are like fabric with a plastic top. It's nice because it's like a real coffee filter rather than the plastic K-cup you normally see. The foil packets help keep the cups from going stale because of the packaging I just described

It appears to be glass, however I have not broken one so I cannot tell. They seem to heavy for plastic.

They are made out of plastic. Over priced game, if you ask me. It didn't come with pads or pencils like the previous versions, but my students love the game!

I initially thought they did not have a coating. Actually, there is a thin coating of a wax like substance. It is very thin, but the cups will hold a liquid better than if they were just made of paper.

They are plastic. Use a decorated cupcake liner or a cupcake wrapper they are beautiful

No they are double walled plastic with insulation between then. The cups are black on the inside.

Yes, they are plastic inside and out. The bottom has a slim foam base. My husband loves these - keeps hot beverages hot for hours even in cold temps. outside.

these are plastic, Lara. Sorry i missed this when it came in, I was in China. These mugs are good value, I use them a few times per week.

They are plastic. It is kind of thin so be gentle with them. I have made 3 batches with them and they are still holding up.

Not plastic. Glass but very fragile be careful washing them. I broke one wiping two hard.

They are made with plastic, not glass. I just began using them over the weekend, and they appear very durable. I am really glad I purchased this product because I like to get all my ingredients set up before I start cooking, and these little beakers will enable me to pre-measure out flavorings and extracts.

I don't think any of it is exactly "plastic." Bakelite maybe? I've been using mine for almost two years, on a daily basis. This is actually my everyday coffee maker, so it's on for about 10-12 hours a day (I'm at home full time) and I LOVE this machine!

No it's plastic!!! And I highly recommend you look at something else!! I bought the original coffee team plus which lasted over 12 years, then I bought this one when it quit heating and it failed to heat only after 2 years

I very much prefer the type of plastic used in these cups. It is not the cheesy-looking cup made out of the hard kind of plastic that snaps (breaks) when handled a little roughly. We used these cups for my son's wedding party, which was attended by people from 2 years of age to 92. The cups were perfect.

I am not aware of a way to take them apart. One of the two cups developed water between the two walls and was of no good to us. I do not recommend these cups.

Because it was a plastic bowl we just used fancy plastic cups, nothing special. Clear ones work best. Hope this helps!
