Is the Boiling Chamber BPA Free?

I believe so, however, I do not recommend this product for drinking. Something with the glue, creates a very plastic taste to the water, even after hundreds of uses. I use this mainly for distilled water for my machinery but also tried to drink it but it was not drinkable. Also the company has discontinued the product. I had a problem with the boiling chamber overheating with less than 1 year use. The company was very nice and refunded me the cost. Also, this product came to me used and very dirty hence the return.

I haven't seen any claim stating the boiling chamber is BPA free. However, the only product that leaves the boiling chamber is steam. All contaminants are left in the chamber, and not in the steam that will condense into distilled water. The collection container IS supposed to be BPA free.

It's made of some kind of plastic. I don't not if it's BPA free or not. If it isn't I am going to throw it away.

Pat, I don't know. Water is mostly in contact with stainless steel, on the interior there are two pieces of plastic where the handle is attached and the rim holding the lid is plastic and does contact the water as it is poured out. It has been an excellent kettle for us, just do not know about the BPA, sorry.

Just purchased this kettle. While the glass is German, the box states "This product was designed by Breville in Sydney, Australia and assembled in China to Breville's specifications." My endocrine system is already challenged, so I'm counting on Breville's quality control to insure that the plastic components are indeed BPA free.

The plastic inside this kettle is marked as #5. #5 plastic is a Polypropylene which is BPA free. Not convinced, I called the company and the representative assured me that this product was indeed BPA free. I am not sure why they are not advertising it as BPA free, however.

Sorry I can't help you. I didn't keep packaging. I did just take a look at the beaker, but I see no markings on it to indicate if it's bpa free or not.

I didn't find anything stating it is BPA free, but the plastic is almost like a hard acrylic type. A few times I have used it with boiling water and it looks like it cracked but its was not. I have been very happy with this beaker. On the bottom it does have 7 in the recycling and made in Germany. Hope this helps.

I called the company and was told that all plastic in the kettle is BPA-free. Glad there are others who are concerned about this as well :)

Seem to be....it is a well made product. BPA free. Not too big...medium sided plate. It has a steamer tray that can be used. It's got the vented lid and the top snaps easily. Go for v it!

I wish it was, but as it came out long before the BPA news, I doubt it is. I really wish Oster would make a BPA-free updated version of this, because I loved mine! ... for now, it's glass Ball jars. Don't fit well in a cupholder, but less potentially toxic.

I am not sure about BPA free because it is not stated in the Paperwork that came with the beaker. However, it does show on the beaker that it is an 07 plastic that you can recycle. I hope this helps you.

I have only found two very small places that are plastic. The viewing area on the lid is plastic and a tiny slot for the filter is plastic. I'd say 99% is NOT plastic. BPA free? I do not know. I can say that the water tastes the same after heating as it did when it came out of the faucet. In other words, the heated water does not have an "off" taste. I really like this kettle and would buy another if I need to.

No. I had a direct conversation with Mr coffee, and they could not say it was Bpa free. I got a cuisinart from Costco that is.

Not sure if it is BPA free. However; when I used it I gave it a quick flush and it didn't have any abnormal taste.

The kettle is almost all stainless steel. I've had mine going on two years and it's still working great. I will clean it every couple months with a vinegar / water mixture. According to the Cuisinart website, it is BPA free: http://www.cuisinart.com/products/tea_kettles/cpk-17.html
