Does any plastic part of the encasing or the filter itself use BPA coating?

I do not know for sure. However, I would be suprised if BPA were used. The filter and unit is NSF certified. To be sure, I would recommend calling the customer service number and asking directly. Although the casing is stainless steel, plastic tubing is used to connect the filter to the faucet.

Honestly do not know. I no longer have the packaging and the filters do not say whether they are multicoated

Same answer, if it is the 1.5 l pot, the filter is steel. I do have some pots with plastic.

There is a 5" x 2" filter inside the kettle that appears to be plastic. I bought this kettle thinking I could remove this piece, but doing so prevents the kettle from shutting off automatically. Also, after repeated boilings and vinegar soakings, the water still has a chemical/plastic taste. I ended up getting a De'Longhi KBO1401W Electric Kettle which I am happy with.

Yes. The only non plastic part is the metal screen and the inner glass layer. The cap (two parts) are made of plastic and there are rubber rings too. I have deemed the product acceptable for my personal anti-BPA standards. After nearly a year of constant use, the plastic cap still weighs the "same" so if it is degrading into my drinks, then it is happening at less than one part per billion over a year.

I've used these filters for at least 10 years. Never had a problem from the plastic clamps. I do give them one last squeeze with a pair of pliers when assembling. Don't be Hercules though! LOL

Yes, the water reservior is made of plastic. I do not know the BPA impact, but I know the coffee is SUPERB.

I have owned three different models of Therapure filters, and none of them have had any sort of plastic smell. The housing is plastic, but I've never smelled anything plasticky.

Yes, both the motor and the charcoal filter are encased in plastic. No exposed metal on this product at all.

The pump and the housing that holds the disposable charcoal filter are plastic. The fountain itself is all ceramic. No problems with it as far as cleaning or replacing the filter so far.

It's metal filter, just screw it apart, wash and ready to go again. The whole can and filter are stainless steel.

The only part which I think might be BPA is the filter screen which is removable (just by pulling out - no screw) . I actually removed it from the first day as we always use filtered water.

Yes, the border of the filter is made of plastic. The water level is lower than the filter so it only passes through it at the end. You'll be hard pressed to find an electric tea kettle that doesn't have a plastic filter. Although the box clearly states that it is BPA free.

filter frame is plastic w/ silicone seal around perimeter; sleeve through steel lid for bar to slide in is plastic and broke on mine in first year. Still works fine. Other than that it is very sturdy and makes great coffee.

No, it's the same black plastic as the rest of the appliance with a fabric filter screen.

Yes. It's a little charcoal filter and the plastic is tightly formed to it, as you noticed, so just got to a crimped edge or try to squeeze it together so you don't puncture the filter itself.
