I've been reading a lot about how drinking water that has been in contact with plastic is bad for you though.
Has anybody found a container that these or other filters can fit in that is glass by chance?

Just to add, pure R/O water and 0 TDS water will affect the taste of your coffee and tea. I had this exact dispenser and thought my coffee was bad.
I changed my coffee / tea starting water with spring water and there was a pretty noticeable difference.
When the ZEROWATER filters starts getting bad, it changes the smell and taste of the water to a fishy scent/taste.
Also, if you leave this dispenser on the counter top, prepare for mold in the summer. Mold will start growing in the top white plastic housing and sometimes inside the dispenser depending on how warm your house gets and how often you clean it. Its best to put it inside the fridge if there is room. I stopped using this because of the filter costs and just got an R/O filter but buy spring water for coffee/tea.
What I learned was you need a two pitcher system, prefilter in pitcher one with an old replaced filter then pour that into pitcher two with a new filter. This has stretched my replacement time to two to three times that of just one pitcher. You can test the process yourself with the TDS meter.
Waterdrop is the best hands down. It even reduces fluoride, I've tested it.

Does it take care of the fishy taste? I currently do a two-step system, but use a cheaper Britta filter for the first stage. Makes the zero filter last twice as long.

"ZeroWater's 5-stage filters have been independently tested by an EPA-certified lab for fluoride reduction, showing an overall reduction of 99%." I just have t found a pitcher filtration better than zero.
I would be all over this if I didn't have to keep it in the fridge. if I don't keep it in the fridge, it seems to go bad.
