Big+ Gravity Filter
Polished-stainless gravity dispenser (formerly Propur) whose filtered water sits in a steel chamber; only the G2.0 filter elements carry plastic housing.
Plastic-free verdict: No-contact plastic
Both chambers of this 3-gallon dispenser are polished stainless steel, so filtered water dwells in and pours from steel rather than plastic. The G2.0 all-in-one filter elements have plastic end caps/housing (the standard cartridge concession), and the spigot on some configurations is plastic - verify the spigot at purchase if that matters to you. Certified to NSF/ANSI 401 for microplastics.

ProOne's stainless gravity dispenser (the brand was formerly Propur) holds 3 gallons across two polished-steel chambers. Water gravity-feeds through the brand's G2.0 all-in-one elements, which combine activated carbon with an outer shell, into the steel lower chamber. It is IAPMO-certified to NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401, and 372, covering chlorine, lead, PFAS, and microplastics. Like all gravity systems, the filter elements carry plastic housing; unlike some, the budget spigot is plastic unless you upgrade it.
