I studied the spigot with my magnifying glass and there is not an indication of what kind of plastic is used. the Spigot is metal. I have had mine for a month and use the Spigot 20 times a day. again the spigot per se is metal not plastic. I have no problems with the spigot and use it at least 20 times a day.

It's made from heat tolerant and food grade PVC plastic:http://www.brewdemon.com/equipment/all-equipment/fermetation-equipment/conical-fermenting-system.html

I believe it's plastic, and the spouts have leaked on both of mine since day 1. My husband spent quite a bit of time trying to tighten the pieces, but he was only able to get 1 of them to stop leaking. Hope this is helpful.

No, I am really conscience about that stuff- the plastic seems to be a food grade density type. Only when I pour does it come in contact with the plastic spout. Very easy to clean, and cool to watch water boiling.

No. It is plastic with a recycling symbol number 5. I use mine for my cat's drinking water.

I believe the "window" that allows you to see how much water is in the kettle is made of plastic, so yes.

Hi Rebecca Yes the spigot is plastic and so far it works great and the seal doesn't leak.

It doesn't have that plastic code. It's pretty thick and sturdy, but if you are thinking about using it for food products, I'm not sure if it's food grade plastic.

The bucket is made of white plastic. I doubt it is BPA free. The manufacturer, BAFX, has an email address on their website so I would send them an inquiry. "info@bafxpro.com"

The spigot is plastic. I wouldn't use it on the next 1 that I purchase. I'll just connect a short hose and shut off valve to the drain spout at the lowest practical place. That allows me to take advantage of water pressure. The spigot is useless for me. Otherwise it's a great product.

No the containers and there are two of them are both plastic. I hope this helps!

It is plastic with a silver coating. I've read reviews stating the spigot loses it's seal and leaks. So, I purchased a replacement spigot, ceramic. No, leaks thus far and I have been making my Kombucha weekly for almost two months now.

There's a #2 symbol on the bottom. BPA free according to their website (http://waterbrick.org/product-specifications.php): "The container is made out of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene resin). The lid is made out of High Density Polypropylene. The gasket is made out of Dynaflex TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer). Just changed my water after a year (oops), and after letting the water breath briefly, there's no plastic taste.

The best I can tell is that the interior is metal, aluminum or steel. There is a metal pipe i sert that allows the liquid to be pumped up from the bottom of the container, out through the plastic spigot at the top. I have no idea what the plastic is made of. The liquid only comes in contact with the plastic when it is dispensed. Hope this helps.

The lid is metal but the spigot is plastic. I have not had any trouble with the spigot but I did break one of the glass jars by pouring hot tea directly into the jar. Really cool old school dispenser!

Yes & no. The pod itself is made of metal (stainless steel?) & the spout & filter are plastic.Also, I'm surprised that you know the technical name for it - pod like thingy. :-)
