My understanding from the company is that the reservoir is made of ABS plastic and that they make no claims as to it being BPA free. Personally I’m very concerned with plastics. We use metal bottles, avoid single-use, use reusable ziplock and cling wrap alternatives, etc. But we had trouble finding a really good coffee maker. In an increasingly pod-dominated world there are fewer drip options that are well made enough as to not be in the landfill 2-3 years out. My feeling with this coffee was that because I brew manually, the water isn’t sitting in the reservoir leaching anything. It isn’t heated in the reservoir obviously. The unit itself seems to be metal although internal tubing, gaskets may likely have plastic components. Brewing 10 cups takes 5 minutes. The lid does have a plastic straw that sits in the hot acidic coffee. But if we don’t pour out/drink our coffee quickly in the morning we can pour out what’s left into a thermos. The glass carafe I don’t think has a lid issue like that. It just sits on top. If you want to really go plastic free, more power to you! I used a French press for years. They have thermal ones. Percolators are great too. I’ve seen an electric one but it was old and I’m not sure it had no plastic components touching consumables. Hope that helps!
