Does the plastic infuser eventually stain from the tea?

Yes, but it doesn't affect the taste. I also put mine in the dish washer once a week and it helps.

Yes. I bought a replacement metal strainer from bodum.com. It fit fine. Item number 01-1868-01-612.

I don't know. I had the same pot but with the metal infuser and the pot broke. The metal one worked fine in this one so I never used the plastic one. Sorry. The metal one works great!

Yes, it is plastic. I wrote to Krups, and they said that all their products are BPA free. (There is also a little bit of plastic inside the kettle.) I'm very happy with the product. I should also mention that I don't use the infuser. I just use the kettle to heat water.

Cleaning the infuser tube is easy with a bottle brush. Do not put into dishwasher.

I use mine almost every day to make a gallon of various herb teas. I fill it almost to the top, boil the water, pull the pot off the stove, dump in the loose tea leaves and walk away to let it brew. I often let it sit over night with no problems. It doesn't stain and I have never had a problem or had any difficulty cleaning it. Every once in a while I put it in the dishwasher.

I put mine through the dishwasher every so often and it comes out like new. I do use milk in both coffee and tea, hence little problem of staining.

Yeah it's totally fine. I generally use lemons, which is the most acidic and its plastic-free-tasting. I bought the glass bottle strictly because I didn't want any plastic taste that you normally get. It's a durable infuser, difficult to break - which makes cleaning easy.

I suppose it depends on what you use it for and how you use it. It is not "stain proof" and it is plastic. However, mine still looks great; after lots of use, it's not stained and it is not dirty looking. It is a decent product.

I have this bottle about 6 months, so far I have used it almost every day. I cleaned it with bottle brush for the tea stain.I have not seen any color fade or chip on it. I really like this.

Does the silicone lid stain? YES. Hold old flavors? YES -- and the flavor of the silicone.

I am not sure , the 1st one I bought that was much heavier does no stain. this one feels like the cheap plastic ones.

Yes. Just make sure the amount of water you pour in will cover all of the loose leaf tea in the infuser.

I've been using mine for 9 months and it still looks great. I've spilled a bottle or two, but cleaned it quickly, so it didn't stain.

It appears to be a plastic coated metal. The inside does not stain quickly.

It does not stain so you would have to do that after, I bought a strander at Walmart that fit od my bottles and at I empty the juice it gets strained. It is a great juicer!

We have not had a problem with any staining at all. I suppose if it did you could use a tiny bit of bleach to get it out & then run it through the dishwasher.

In my experience, yes! I clean mine for daily use. So far, nothing has stained it.
