Hello, I'm looking for a plastic free carafe to keep my coffee hot after making in my Chemex coffee maker.Do you know if this has any plastic parts? Thank you,Julie

The entire pot is stainless steel, but it has a stopper built into the cap that screws off in two pieces, which is a good thing to do before putting it into the dishwasher. I believe one piece of the stopper is plastic and the other piece is silicone. This is an assumption based on one of the pieces having melted at the bottom of my dishwasher, near the heat element, but silicone will melt at high temperatures and I think the manufacturer claims these parts are made of silicone, not plastic. The parts are very small and are not in contact with the coffee, they just help to hold in the heat.

Yes, I think the "stopper" type lid has a bit of plastic inside to help give it a tight seal.

No plastic parts are visible, I seriously doubt any are contained, I have 3 of these - they are beautifully and we'll designed, durable and heavy. They keep my wife's tea hot down to warm over 24 hours. But remember to fill it with the hottest tap water you have and let it absorb the hear for 20 secs to a minute if you want to keep it hot for a long period of time! It absolutely does, and you won't regret the purchase! Good luck!

No, no plastic. The stopper is rubber and it tends to degrade a bit (get somewhat sticky) over time, but no plastic.

I understand your concern about the plastic as that was one of our concerns but upon arrival discovered it was possible to raise the lid at the time of pouring the coffee so it didn't come in contact with the actual plastic. Its a wonderful French press.

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.

I'm no scientist, so I'm not sure what this particular plastic is. It isn't a soft plastic like a silicone type, it's hard and as of yet hasn't stained the red cone. It's used every day (sometimes more than once) and it seems fine. If you are that unsure as to whether or not to buy a cheap little plastic cone that makes coffee I would tell you absolutely do not buy it. As for me and my husband, it works perfectly and and all you have to do is heat the water. We love it.

The one I got comes with a Thermal Carafe. It will keep coffee warm for more than 8 hours. The product is great.

I looked everywhere for a cloer carafe. Unbelievably, I could not find one. Ended up finding a generic replacement made by modelco, but had to adjust/cut the plastic lid to make it fit.

There is NO plastic inside the the pot. The handle is welded to the side of the pot. The percolator viewer on the lid IS however plastic. Amazon sells universal glass replacement ones though. I bought one and it works just fine. NO PLASTIC:-)

I think I replaced one with a generic "Mr. Coffee" 12 oz carafe. Honestly, it's been about 6 or 7 yrs since I bought it and I no longer have it so I can't be 100% sure.

I'm sorry to hear that you had a problem with your carafe. I know they sell these parts on Mr Coffee.com. I would also write to customer service and let them know what happened. Maybe they'll replace it for free. Good luck!

No, plastic, stay away from this machine. It looks nice but coffee taste is not that good and the machine breaks easily.PLUS, service might not be what you'd expect from that supposedly reliable and known company.

Yes but not vastly so! I dare say the coffee tastes better as there are no plastic components anywhere..the coffee is delicious out of it! And as a bonus it looks great on the counter..hope this helped!

I don't think any of it is exactly "plastic." Bakelite maybe? I've been using mine for almost two years, on a daily basis. This is actually my everyday coffee maker, so it's on for about 10-12 hours a day (I'm at home full time) and I LOVE this machine!

Hello! The only plastic part inside is the water measuring stick, the metal round inside is containing heating equipment and it has no seams inside kettle so it's perfectly safe to use, no plastic. I've got this kettle for my mom a year ago and it`s the best one from all we had, still working, no plastic taste. Please enjoy!

No, there are no plastic parts on the inside. The handle is the only thing that is plastic. It's the reason I bought this one, I too did not want my coffee touching plastic. You'll be good with this one, get it.

I've had my unit for 8-9 months and have not experienced any problems. The upper portion seems to hold the water "sweat" from heating up, but no malfunctions or other issues. I am assuming your question is about the plastic coffee maker.

I did not have that problem. My problem with this is that it did not keep the coffee hot and it shut itself right away. I consider it not a great carafe that did not have the insulation properties to keep the coffee only "warm." Poor quality control so I returned it before the end of 30 days.
