Is the hot coffee sitting in a plastic reservoir untill dispensed?

Coffee is brewed and stored in a plastic reservoir with a metal plate inside. The metal plate in the reservoir comes into contact with the actual heating element (the "hot plate") below the plastic container the hot coffee is stored in. This is probably why the darn things leak. Both earlier versions of this coffee pot and the newer models. Both have leaked within just a few months of us buying them. It was super convenient at first, but having to scrub coffee from your counter and under other appliances and out of the grout of the back splash... not so convenient.

if you make the coffee the night before and profram it for morning then yes it sits in the reservoir which probably is a heavy type plastic but it is really good cofee and i love this coffee maker- it will tell you when it need to be cleaned also but running vinegar and water thru once in awhile will clean it more often- i am very pleased with is-

Yes, this is a great coffee maker. The coffee tastes wonderful and stays hot after brewing. I have absolutely no complaints. I never thought about the plastic reservoir as a concern. Coffee is always great. Try it. It is well worth the low cost. I love the brewstation concept.

Yes, it is. The same "bucket" that is used to transport water from the faucet to the coffee maker catches the coffee after the water passes through the grounds.

Yes it is. I honestly never gave this any thought. However, I'd be willing to bet you'd fail a blind taste test between coffee dispensed from glass and coffee dispensed from plastic.

Yes. It is wonderful! Always hot to the last drop also. I have had 3 of these and have loved them since the very first one. Makes great coffee and never tastes burnt or gets thick.

No, just ocassionally fill the top right water container area with water, then press button to heat. A red button will flash indicating to fill up with water. The left side is a standard coffee maker. This device is great if you need hot water dispensed immediately; i just love mine! Great investment!

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 inside is plastic! I use mine for continuous brew kombucha as well!

Of course... just fill it with really hot water from the tap, let it sit for about 5 minutes... That really warms up the Thermos. So, when you empty out the water and then put your hot coffee in there it stays hot for a long while. You wont be disappointed.

it is an odd construction. the only plastic that could touch the coffee is the phalange of the top. if you look at the photo you can seethe black lip of the top. it only touches the foam not the actually coffee. The pour lip which keeps the grounds in place is plastic.

My model sits on a plastic removable unheated plate. The thermal carafe keeps the coffee warm for several hours

No - the coffee is in a thermal carafe. You put the lid on the carafe and it keeps coffee hot for a couple hours. At least that is the longest I have ever left coffee in it.

No it's plastic!!! And I highly recommend you look at something else!! I bought the original coffee team plus which lasted over 12 years, then I bought this one when it quit heating and it failed to heat only after 2 years

Mr. Coffee's ECMP50 has stainless parts on the places that touch the coffee and the milk. I can't speak to internal parts. The back water reservoir is plastic.

not needed, and even if you insist on a warm cup, you can fill one with hot water from the dispenser, let it sit for a minute or so and use it for a coffee.

We replaced ours because it was too complicated to use. yes, I think the coffee was held in a plastic reservoir.

Everything that will be submerged in hot coffee is stainless steel. The only plastic exposed to the inside of the press is the underside of the lid. I have never tasted or smelled any plastic odor.

The container that holds the water is plastic. The inside parts are plastic as well. You can get a permanent metal mesh filter to hold the coffee but all else is plastic. Makes great coffee and easy to use. Ellen S.

No there is only a tiny bit of plastic on the lid which I take off every time and do not pour through. I brew it without the lid but the automatic shut off won't work without the lid. I find it heats water very fast where it boils quickly, so I shut it off manually and unplug it after I pour. It pours well without the lid. There is no plastic inside, only on part of the removable lid.

It is a server only. No plastic inside, does not plug in. It's beautiful but doesn't keep coffee hot for a longtime like a carafe would

No. There is no plastic. And the coffee is very hot. I use liquid cre creamer so it is till hot after I add it.
