There is plastic in the coffee maker. The water reservoir is made of ABS plastic and the lid of the carafe is plastic. I’m unsure of any internal tubes, etc. I’m very concerned about plastics as well and continue to try and eliminate them wherever possible (reusable straw, metal water bottle, reusable grocery bags, ziplock and Saran Wrap alternatives etc.) but the stuff is everywhere. That said, I haven’t found a real electric coffee maker that is as you described. I used a glass French press for years in college and it worked well. It’s too small for the coffee drinking demands of our family now. And tbh, I judge that on the whole, because I don’t leave the water in the reservoir but brew manually, the water is not touching any plastic for more than the space of five minutes. The water isn’t heated inside the plastic reservoir. The only exception is the plastic lid of the carafe, which is a concern given that coffee is both hot and acidic. We could decant it immediately to a giant thermos. We might do that. If you truly want a coffee maker with no plastic I’d recommend a percolator (they can be bigger), French press, or go cold brew with an all glass set up. Hope that helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This coffeemaker makes extensive use of plastics in its construction. That said, I think that's universal nowadays. I don't think you're going achieve freedom from plastic with any modern electric coffee maker. You most likely need a French press, which is made of a glass canister and the press filter is metal. Or perhaps an old style percolator. The ones I had when I was a kid was all metal, with a small glass piece at the top of the percolator, but no plastics anywhere, that I can recall.
