This is Ruthy from The Handy House. No it's not glass. They need to correct that. It is correct on our website and details. I will let Amazon know so the can do that. Thank you!

Yes, the interior of the unit is plastic. But the proper care works great. The interior of the carafe is stainless though.

It is made of plastic...BPA free. I have had about a dozen different personal blenders, and this is, without any doubt, the best one I have had. LOVE IT!

No, the carafe is some type of plastic. It has no plastic smell to it, however.

According to the Rubbermaid website, it is definitely BPA free. AND it's the best carafe ever.

This I a BpA free plastic. The glass is very small. Works well for my 2 year old.

I can only say that the carafe is steel and I don't know about the rest of it which is plastic.

It's not glass-it's BPA free plastic. The same company makes a similar bottle in glass. I use the glass at home & the plastic bottle when on the go.

It has many similarities to the Vitamix, so I would not be surprised if the carafes are interchangeable. They have the same amount of teeth on the gear, I know that.

Hi - I checked the "Features and Benefits" and item 19 says - BPA-Free - All parts that come in contact with coffee or liquid are BPA-Free. Enjoy, happy searching - Larry

The carafe is stainless on the outside and glass on the inside. The top of the brewing unit is not. It is silver plastic. That being said, we love the coffee maker.

I don't see any BPA Free mark. Even if it is BPA free, there are still plenty of chemicals in it that create estrogen. I would have prefered glass as well. Since it is plastic, it is important not to put it in the freezer (to keep your smoothie frozen while you drink the rest) and don't put it in the dish washer - I keep all plastics out of my dish washer. I should mention about no plastics in the dishwasher - before I started this practice in my house, I was having sweats like I was in menopause, but I wasn't. Once I stopped putting plastic in the dishwasher (not even plastic handled knives or pot lids with plastic knobs), microwave and freezer (and stopped drinking bottled water) the sweats went away.

Materials used in the AeroPress coffee maker The AeroPress is made of three different plastics. The clear chamber and plunger are made of copolyester. The hard black filter cap, filter holder, funnel, and stirrer are made of polypropylene. The rubber like seal on the end of the plunger is made of a thermoplastic elastomer. All of these materials are FDA approved for use in contact with food. None of these materials contain bisphenol-A (BPA) or any phthalates, chemicals that have been in the news lately because of possible health effects. copied the name of the product, searched online for the maker, and clicked on Materials on their website.

Yes, it is BPA free-code 5PP, but no, it is not hermetic cover-you can pour liquid with the cover on.

The glasses are 100% tritan. The box does not say if BPA free. The Barluxe glasses are also 100% tritan and they are BPA free according to the information on the site. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Unfortunately, it is not BPA free. Only a few coffee makers are BPA free: French Press, Mocha Pot, Chemex Coffee Makers....

The glued plastic trim around the top of the carafe in the original has been done away with. That's the part that leaked. This one is all glass and works perfectly.
