I get that. But I also don't want to be melting plastic in my coffee. And most of the glass ones tend to have some plastic bits.

I think the Chambord uses Tritan plastic - good to above 100c, even if you pressed and poured the water straight from boil for some reason it would be stable. I usually do 4 mins brew and 6-7 mins to cool off and let grinds settle, so its well below the point of any complications from temperature when I pour it.

I hear you, and Tritan is an improvement for sure.

But I don't understand.

Why even take the risk. To each their own.

Ikea of all places sells one without any plastic. It's glass and metal. The packaging is even plastic free. It was relatively cheap around ~$15 or so.
