#7, but no BPA? by: Anonymous
The Keurig comment that the cups
contain NO BPA, yet are plastic #7 is very confusing. I know that #7 is a mix
of different types of plastic, so basically they're declaring that no BPA
plastics are used in the composition of their plastic #7. Are we to trust them,
or trust the manufacturer who tells them they don't use BPAs? Hmmm. There are
lots of other coffee makers out there, and most are more
environmentally-friendly to boot. Why take a chance?

Recycle #6 on bottom of water
reservoir by: Anonymous
I bought a B60 from Target just because it
said it was BPA free on outside of box. It is actually my 2nd one after the
first one conked out in less than a year. I use filter water for everything in
the house and noticed a weird metallic plastic chemical taste with the coffee
to the point of being undrinkable. I went to amazon.com and qvc to see if other
reviewers say same. There was and some recommended cleaning the reservoir with
vinegar or baking soda. I pulled mine out and see a #6 on bottom which is known
to leach harmful toxins and to top it off the World Health Org suspects #6 as a
carcinogen. Thanks Keurig for making me think I am buying something healthy.
With all the links to cancer and endocrine dysfunction with some plastics I am
not very happy right now.
