[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have no Teflon or nonstick in our kitchen. Our countertop convection oven is steel interior. Pots and pans are stainless steel, cast iron, and ceramic from France. Wooden cutting boards, maple or acacia. Stainless steel utensils including straws. Glass food storage for leftovers and for sugar and flour. We have a team ball for loose tea and use Republic of Tea for tea with tea bags. Coffee maker is entirely metal or glass except for the filter holder that is plastic.

We drink a lot of La Croix. The new study about more micro plastics in glass bottles than plastic was interesting.  I'll look more deeply into that.

We eat food from cans with BPA free lining, which just means it's lined with something else. The cartons for milk and half and half are lined with plastic.  Meat comes in plastic containers, as do frozen veggies.  We reduce plastic as much as possible but there's still a significant amount in our kitchen.[/quote]which coffee maker did you choose?

BUNN 52700 CSB2G Speed Brew Elite Coffee Maker[/quote]

And the chamber that holds and heats the water is not plastic? That's what I'm having trouble finding.[/quote]

Yes, the reservoir is metal, not plastic.  It is always hot so it brews very quickly, which is nice, but we were most interested in the hot water tank being metal instead of plastic rather than speed of brew.  It also brews really good coffee.

"The BUNN Speed Brew uses a commercial grade stainless steel internal hot water tank that keeps 70oz of water always hot so you can quickly brew at the flip of a lid."
