Unfortunately, The chemicals used to replace BPA have been shown to be just as harmful as BPA. The Additional problem with coffee pots is that leaching increases with temperature, time and the acidity of the food or beverage. Coffee is acidic and it the process uses hot water. Both of these increase leaching.
I use the glass Chemex coffee pot with their non-chlorine bleach coffee filters: https://www.chemexcoffeemaker.com/ I am extremely sensitive, so I use only glass or Xtrema cookware.
