Does the water or coffee ever come into contact with plastic or is it all glass inside?

there is a plastic filter that is covered by cloth, and the spring that holds the filter in place is metal. It makes good coffee though. The trick would be to find an old glass filter from the 50s or 60s when they made them out of glass and use that one. Maybe at a garage sale or ebay.

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.

Both will only touch glass. The plastic top is used to hold steam in and to hold up the top part when coffee is done. Best coffee maker Iv ever owned.

The inside is completly steel. But the grid of the press that brews the coffee has some plastic. It is a great mug!

I looked at this model at Target and passed on it because it does have plastic inside. If you don't fill it full, the boiling water might not come in contact with the plastic but there is plastic inside. Because of this I think I am going with the more expensive Breville model.

the bottom part is glass. I don't know about the plastic but it shouldn't matter unless you're using this for hot liquids

No plastic parts touching coffee unless you overfill and it touches the bottom of the lid. But it's easy to control that.

No; it's glass. I have a water kettle with a stainless interior, and it has rusted to high heaven. I much prefer the glass interior, although Zojirushi warns you not to drop it or it will likely shatter.

YES, there is plastic on the inside. It is at the very top of the jug where the handle attaches. The handle only attaches at the inside top not the full length of the handle. I personally believe it is not safe. This is not the kettle I am looking for.

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

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.

The kettle is stainless steel inside. The only plastic inside the kettle that may touch water when full is the frame that holds a filter at the spout.

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 plastics or aluminum in this coffeepot. I do wish it had a little glass thingy on the top so I could see the coffee perk.

It appears to me the entire interior is made of plastic. However, we use filtered water and have never tasted any plastic. We are genuine coffee snobs. We use high quality coffee that we grind ourselves. This is an excellent coffee maker and probably the most simplistic one we've ever owned. We had to go through a lot of coffee makers before we found one we loved. I'd recommend it to anyone.

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.

None whatsoever. Both the container and the top are made of glass. I recommend this cruet highly!

No, none of the plastic comes in contact with water... Unless you use a damp cloth to clean the outside.

No, good question. The only plastic is on the spout and the handle. You flip the spout to pour and the handle does not touch the water.
