Does the plastic o-ring on the top come in contact with the coffee? Please.

It does not appear to come in contact. The pump tube, where the coffee percs from, is above a small aperture leading to the o-ring. The pump tube bypasses the o-ring aperture and percs directly into the plastic knob in the cover. Yes, the knob in the cover on the model I use is plastic. In the end plastic is inescapable!

If you are referring the the plastic O-ring creating a seal between the glass thing to the lid, I don't think it touches the coffee.

As far as I can see, the portion of the carafe that comes in contact with the coffee is all glass. There is a metal band around the outside bottom of the pot but it has no real bearing on the pouring of the coffee. I have always had good tasting coffee from this pot - but then the coffee you get out of it is only as good as the grinds you put in!

It doesn't appear so. I looked when I checked the leaks, but it seems to be molded with the plastic around it. Maybe someone else knows something about replacing it that I don't. In all fairness, I've had this coffee maker for several years and it just now is rusting through.

The lid does screw all the way off No, I cannot tell how much coffee is left unless I take the lid off to look inside. I have not found a way to separate the top part of the maker itself from the rest but I run vinegar through it on occasion. none of the bad review problems have happened to me and it is working just fine. I set my coffee to brew at 5 AM but by 6:30 it is not lip-scalding hot anymore I have never put my coffee pots in the dishwasher so I can't advise you there.

Not the holding tank, but you can put the water bucket/basket that holds the brewed coffee. Maybe that's what you meant?

No. It is just made short and opens from the front so you can fill the water reservoir and coffee basket from the front and not have to slide the coffee maker out from under the upper cabinet.

Got it, used it, it fits but I think the top(meta top from coffee pot) fits too loosely on the plastic. thus coffee gringes are allowed into the base. Small problem, I just don't drink the last drop. I am next going to get paper filters that coat bottom mental before you put coffee in. Just to see which is better. One thing for sure is this gizmo saves getting alot of paper filters.

The one I have is all glass, the only plastic part is the gasket that is between the top and the bottom unit and it does not come into contact with either the water or the coffee. So no, the water or coffee does not come into contact with plastic.

no, the glass funnel is below plastic which holds it. It is an excellent drip coffee maker. be aware you have to buy the Hario filters that it.

The two parts do not separate. It is a bit of a strange design... The handles blocks some of the safety instructions on the glass. This being said, I have no problem getting the coffee maker totally clean.

As to my previous post: let me stress mine is an older model. It doesn't look as if the newer models take loose coffee, but you might want to check with the company.

No it doesn't however I started using filters because the coffee grounds kept sifting through the plastic filter screen and into the water. Once I started using regular filters the clean up was also easier.

Yes. There is a small drip through spout on the bottom of the filter for the coffee to drip through. Hope this helps!

No. It sits on top of the cup and then you take it off to drink. Like they said, just the small hole for the steam/pressure.

This cup has a slight outside rim, and because the screen mesh is around lower edge and the bottom, I have never had the issue of coffee flowing over the top. I suppose if your coffee was ground extremely fine, this could be an issue.

I've had my unit for 8-9 months and have not experienced any problems. The upper portion seems to hold the water "sweat" from heating up, but no malfunctions or other issues. I am assuming your question is about the plastic coffee maker.

No plastic parts come into contact with the coffee. Drawer is all wood. Only the lid, but usually I don't need so much coffee to actuall fill it all the way to the lid. Hope this helps.
