Is this BPA FREE? I ask because sans the metal the rest of the filter is made of plastic. It doesn't say if the plastic is actually BPA free.

I just talked with customer service on the phone, and she told me that they are BPA-free. They're made of polypropylene plastic.

I have no idea but the filter is made of metal and that is the majority of the filter

There was no indication that the product as to the status of BPA. It does say that the product is environmentally friendly and dishwasher safe. You probably need to contact the company at CustomerService@Medelcoinc.com or call 1-888-MEDELCO.

I buy these disposable ones they are plastic and they ARE the filter. They work great for me. Can use one for a whole pack or more.

It removes around 91.30% of hexavalent chromium. the water goes through tubes through its multiple filters doesnt touch plastic. havent found any information on bpa but do believe its made from bpa free plastic. www.theperfectwater.com to send email.

So far our filter has been holding up pretty good. I haven't had the chance to change it yet. Sorry.

It's made of some kind of plastic. I don't not if it's BPA free or not. If it isn't I am going to throw it away.

I didn't find anything stating it is BPA free, but the plastic is almost like a hard acrylic type. A few times I have used it with boiling water and it looks like it cracked but its was not. I have been very happy with this beaker. On the bottom it does have 7 in the recycling and made in Germany. Hope this helps.

I have only found two very small places that are plastic. The viewing area on the lid is plastic and a tiny slot for the filter is plastic. I'd say 99% is NOT plastic. BPA free? I do not know. I can say that the water tastes the same after heating as it did when it came out of the faucet. In other words, the heated water does not have an "off" taste. I really like this kettle and would buy another if I need to.

I can't swear to it but a number of on-line retailers state that Melitta plastic cones are BPA free. I am not sure it would matter in a filter cone.

I do not know if it is BPA free. I do know that the water sits in a stainless steel container. The only plastic part it touches is the heating element. Hope this helps.

Yes. It is plastic. But I'm hoping that it is BPA free. Maybe you should check with Brita to be certain. But overall, I like it. Water taste great and no chlorine taste. Just follow the directions when adding/changing filters

Yes there are plastic parts in it. As for BPA Free, I'm not a chemist. There are no Plastic type symbols on it.

I think it's just regular plastic since it didn't say, so I don't think it's BPA free.

Another reviewer said they contacted the company and confirmed it was BPA free, however, there is no indication on the packaging that it is, also I personally do not feel that it is based on the taste of the water. Read my review for more details.

It doesn't notate that it's BPA free. However, the plastic components are only on the base and handle. They really don't come into direct contace with the water inside.

Good question! BPA free, perhaps you can educate me on what "BPA free" is........? Have use this only once.

I can't answer those questions - If I were you, I would direct those questions to the makers of Mr. Coffee via their website. My guess would be that the plastic is NOT BPA free but I could be WRONG!!
