The water reservoir is made of a FDA & NSF - approved, food grade plastic. It does not contain Bisphenol derivatives (BPA, etc.) and Phthalate-based plasticizer components. The water travels through FDA & NSF-approved silicone tubing to the stainless steel boiler. Our focus with the SWIRL was to eliminate the plastic in the *hot-water-path* of the system (stainless steel boiler and stainless/steel spigot). We are wary of the effects of passing hot-water through plastic, with the potential for leaching. This is also why we have focused on making our EcoPour filter All Paper.
