I see this $10 cheaper than mfr site on sidedeal, but who wants water heated in plastic? I love my Mueller for the reason of a metal tank. They charge out the kazoo for a maker of heated plastic tasting coffee?!
While I don’t have any of the model(s) offered, I do have older Keurigs and while the reservoir is plastic, the heating takes part in a separate boiler internal to the unit.
@narfcake And I have not seen a consumer-level non-espresso coffee maker with a metal basket in many years. Even most of the commercial ones are resin now. Given that the brewing process adds loads of ionized compounds to the water with the potential ability to scavenge anything insufficiently bonded out of the resins, I’d think the plastic baskets would be much more of an immediate concern to anyone worried about that. (I don’t do coffee, so I’m amazingly disinterested.)
Not having water sit in a plastic reservoir is the main reason that I still use the old style pour over Keurig that makes one cup at a time from water you put in as you use it.
Are you talking about the K-Select?
