Are there any plastic parts that come in contact with the coffee? Perhaps the drawer?

No, the drawer is wood and the grinder bowl is metal. The bowl cover is plastic, but unless you fill it all the way, it doesn't touch the coffee. The grinder is quite small-it grinds only enough beans for maybe 3 tablespoons of coffee.

No plastic parts come into contact with the coffee. Drawer is all wood. Only the lid, but usually I don't need so much coffee to actuall fill it all the way to the lid. Hope this helps.

Hey, now, perhaps they should use tempered glass. OK, parts can be obtained at Mr. Coffee.com, Amazon.com,eBay, bizrate.com, Small Appliances.com, together with other websites. Good luck. Watch out for chipping the spout. Pat Clark

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.

There are some plastic parts, although as far as I can tell they're all on the outside i.e. with the exception of the stopper, and the pouring spout, they're on the skin of the carafe. The coffee sits in a glass inner container and doesn't tough any plastic until it's poured. I don't know whether the plastic components are BPA-free, although since the coffee isn't in constant contact with any plastic as far as I can tell, I don't think that's much of a concern.

Yes the drawer opens easy no problems there. It is metal and the weight of the coffee maker has not been a problem. But it does not slide on the counter top... so I put felt stick on tabs on it's rubber feet and it works great.

Yes, but keep in mind the material for the lid is rubber. But, the whole seems standard. It's actually great rubber - you'll never get a "paper cut." One thing to keep in mind is the white plastic does stain w/ coffee (at least on the underside). I really like this coffee cup.

Plastic, but this makes some very good coffee! The coffee bean container is smaller than the last one I had and I think they should make that part larger.

The one I have is all glass, the only plastic part is the gasket that is between the top and the bottom unit and it does not come into contact with either the water or the coffee. So no, the water or coffee does not come into contact with plastic.

No plastic parts touching coffee unless you overfill and it touches the bottom of the lid. But it's easy to control that.

The interior is all plastic, including the filter basket. (Although they do supply a a reusable, metal basket- that I do not use. The carafe is glass with plastic top. The water goes through a paper filter and into the glass carafe - so I guess, technically, the brewed coffee has very little contact with plastic.

The basket inside the coffee maker is made of plastic material and does come in contact with the water during the brewing process.

Well the plastic cone at the top is plastic, but the parts that grind the coffee are some form of ceramic and the container that holds the grounded coffee is glass. Hope that helps.

yes, the basket and most everything else is plastic, but not that cheesy crap you find at Wal-Mart. The unit is very well made and give a great cup of coffee. The reason I bought the maker is because of it's shape & size. I have limited counter space at my summer cottage & this fit the bill nicely. Again, as for the plastic, the exterior is of a quality, chrome plated plastic...you really have to inspect closely to determine it.

If you are referring the the plastic O-ring creating a seal between the glass thing to the lid, I don't think it touches the coffee.

Yes, and there are plastic cups found in the coffee isles in most supermarkets. The cups are designed to go into the Keurig achines.I don't care for them because they are a pain to clean as you have to get the grounds out of these cups to reuse the cups again.Not a big deal, but there you are.

It appears to me the entire interior is made of plastic. However, we use filtered water and have never tasted any plastic. We are genuine coffee snobs. We use high quality coffee that we grind ourselves. This is an excellent coffee maker and probably the most simplistic one we've ever owned. We had to go through a lot of coffee makers before we found one we loved. I'd recommend it to anyone.

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.
