I've always been leery of metal containers because I'm sure there's some unsafe machine oil/lubricant in there from the China manufacturing plant it was made at

  I can do you one better. During that time frame, Kleen Kanteen made a big mea culpa, because initially they claimed that their canteens were BPA free and then they found out they were lining them with... you guessed it, BPA. I tend to use glass for anything other than water. Anything without a neutral pH can make your container more reactive, no matter what it's made of. I put tea or coffee into a double wall stainless, but only occasionally.

    What's wrong with ceramics?
    • hinkley 7y ago
      I use ceramics around the house all the time, but I was trying to limit my comments to storage and transportation. Of course I have a friend who found some ceramic food storage containers with lids. They're lighter than glasslock but I already have more than I use, and they have better seals.

      Ceramics are sometimes finished with a lead (or other heavy metal) based glaze. If that is the case your have problems much more serious than BPA was ever accused of. When you buy souvenir plates you often see "not for food contact" or other such language - the finish is why. (note, sometimes the finish is safe but the factory does other things that are not safe and don't want to do better purification of the equipment between runs)

    Do you have a source on the Klean Lantern BPA? I have some bottles and want to find out if they are lined this way.
