Based on that link I have the version 4 (sep 2010 - dec 2013). The tube has lots of cracks that you can see as well as feel when you run the fingers on the inside, and it doesn't hold pressure that well anymore (whether it's due to air leaking past the cracked surface, or the rubber endcap, I don't know).
I don't worry about crap leaching out of the plastic as much as bacterial creepy critters lodging in the cracks. Also rancid coffee in the cracks isn't nice. Perhaps I should buy a new one, hopefully the polypropylene is more durable.
- js2 8y agoI have the second version, use it nearly every day, and mine is as good as new. You can pry my BPA version out of my coffee-mug warmed, dead, hands. Seriously though: I am slightly concerned about the BPA, but based on a sample size of two (modulo differences between how we use ours), it makes for a more durable plastic. BTW, I use 200° water. Brewing time is less than 30s total for me.
