Does the brewed coffee sit in a plastic reservoir?

yes, it sits in the plastic reservoir as it brews and until you drink or turn off.

Yes. And you do not need to take it out to serve the coffee. It stays hot for awhile and you just press a coffee cup against the silver dispenser. I own 4. 3 for my rental condos and 1 for home. And they are very durable and they do not break like the glass coffee pots.

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

We replaced ours because it was too complicated to use. yes, I think the coffee was held in a plastic reservoir.

Yes, the water tank has a plastic insert that can be completely taken out of the coffee maker to clean then slid back into place. That's a nice feature.

It has a reservoir. The down side of this is that if the coffee maker sits over the weekend, water evaporates and if you make your coffee then the results are not that good. On Monday mornings, I always pour in one pot of new water, then go about doing other stuff. I then I place coffee in the filter and pour in a second pot of new water. It works (and tastes!) much better that way.

The only plastic on the unit is around the outside of the pipe carrying coffee to prevent people from burning themselves. It does not extend into the tank below. Only a small rubber (silicone?) gasket used to seal the tank with the cap is in contact with the water.

Yes, the ground coffee sits in the plastic portion (overnight at my home). No plastic taste, ever. If I plan properly, in the morning, I pull the plug over the carafe while heating my cup of water in the microwave. I have a second carafe so I can make the last cup from that carafe while I start decanting the fresh batch. Wash the empty one and by the time I am ready to go to work, switch the empty and partially-full carafes and head out for the train. When I get home, the process is done and I simply add the second carafe to the first (I tend to use more water than fits in one carafe and get a little overflow on the counter if not careful). Also, I take some coffee liquid in a container to work so I can have a second "best cup in the world" once I'm there.

No, this coffee maker has a stainless steel exterior trim only. The unit, including working components, is primarily plastic.

No. It is black plastic lining the frame. It has a white measuring bar inside so you know how much water you have poured in. There is no visible indicator for water on the outside of the coffee maker. It's not the easiest reservoir I have worked with, but it's OK, and overall I love the coffee maker. Unless you are a total klutz, don't let this feature stop you from purchasing this coffeemaker. My last Capresso lasted over 15 years. I tried a number of other big name coffee makers, but this is simply the best in my book.

No, the inside is plastic! I use mine for continuous brew kombucha as well!

The reservoir has to match the amount of cups u want to brew but the bean bin can be full all the time. Be careful this pot tends to leak out the sides if u don't slide it in just right

The water reservoir is made of plastic and the filter holder is plastic. This I've found is typical of other coffee makers including Krupps. The caraffe interior is stainless.

No. There is no plastic. And the coffee is very hot. I use liquid cre creamer so it is till hot after I add it.

No, it doesn't taste or smell like plastic. The only thing I don't like about this model is I could never get the programmable brew to work. Something with setting the time somehow is not working.

The reservoir where the coffee sits is stainless steel. The whole top is plastic though. FWIW I don't taste any plastic.

No it does not. The base of the maker is plastic. The brewed and heated coffee is kept in the caraf. It keeps the coffee warm for approxiimately 8-10 hours.

No, only the outside is stainless steel. The water resevoir and everything else inside is plastic. I know what you mean. I was looking for something that's all stainless steel on the inside to try and avoid that "plastic taste" you often get from some coffee makers. Eventually I gave up as I couldn't find anything like that! BUT, somehow this coffee maker does NOT give you the plastic taste in the coffee. This is now my second time owning this model, and I'm quite pleased. Yehuda K.

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.

Even if the top plastic insert seemingly has minimal contact with the coffee, the boiling heat and steam may make the plastic release toxins down into the coffee.I have a Bodum without that plastic insert. They can be found.
