Are there any plastic parts in the cup for grinding or around the blades?

Where the blades spin, there is a metal cup about 1/2 inch deep. Above the metal cup, there is about 1 inch of plastic to contain the results. The removable top is plastic.

Yes. It's the part that screws in and holds the blade. It is a very durable and hard plastic. I do love the grinder! Works so well and would recommend trying it.

There is an insulating liner under the lid, but it does not come in contact with the coffee. No other plastic parts.

No, the cup that is currently on the blender has a lid with the grinding blades. Unscrew the grinding cap and screw on a drinking cap.

As I recall, yes. I think the blades are stationary in the blender cup, i.e., they don't come out separately for washing. I no longer own the blender .... not because it was not a good blender. Just didn't have much need for it after all. Good blender for the price. If you expect to do a lot of heavy-duty blending and keep it for a while, I would suggest perhaps going with one of the "biggie" blender brands, such as Breville, KitchenAid or Cuisinart, which have a very good rating.

The handle is plastic, but the crank arm is metal. The retaining mechanism for the grinding wheels have some plastic components, but overall are of excellent quality. If you are worried about wear and tear, there are some inexpensive replacement parts on offer from the manufacturer.

The blades are plastic. This 16" fan works very well - the best fan I have, actually.

The covering to the mixed is all plastic. However the blender shaft and cup are steel.

No, there is not any plastic pieces parts. All sides, fasteners and slot holders are made of brushed stainless steel. These parts do not even spot! We did treat the teak wood with a teak wood oil before we began to use the seat. Hope this all helps!

Yes it does, they also include plastic lids for storage. Love this grinder, use it frequently!

Hi Bill---No, the Presto has no plastic parts beyond the black Bakelite used for the handle, base, and the small cap on top. The internal components are entirely, heavy-gauge steel. A couple of things worth adding: First, the capacity for "mug" style cups is about 5. Second, the percolation tube is tricky to center. About one time in thirty, I miss the correct position and end up with a pot of hot water.

No, there are no plastic parts. This is a lovely teapot. I love it and I get a ton of compliments on it. Enjoy!

Since I don't have both, your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps it is just about the fine blade, which I doubt I'd use anyway. The one I purchased has two blades, a coarse and a medium. Mine is entirely made of metal and built to last. I would never waste my money on a plastic grinder.

No, the metal paddle on the underside of my pitcher was just a rectangular paddle that sits between the notches of the coupler to drive the cutter blades inside the blender

Not sure if the glass and blade are original parts. The glass is sturdy and nice and very similar to the old one I had. The black plastic top is cheap and definitely not like the original rubber one. It doesn't fit the top of the glass very well. I was stupid to throw the old top away with the broken glass.

No, they are not. You might have a better chance finding stainless cutter assemblies for a No. 10 grinder and buying them separately. Good luck!!

If you are refering to the plastic gear that drives the blades, I can say with certainty that is has not. I love this machine and when mine went on the fritz we called the mfg and ask about a replacement part and was told no when ask about metal. I now have a new one (that cost less than repairs would have). I also have written and suggested they make every effort to devise a metal one, especially for people like me who uses the system every day. My sugggestion if it no longer works and it is the little gear in the base, pitch it, get a new one. My last one lasted over 5 years and for the amount of use and the cost, well worth the investment. Oh yes, I tried other systems before repurchasing the Black and Decker Food system and sent them back as they fall very short of convienent to use.

It's plastic around the outside and some kind of metal for the blades. I don't know exactly what kind but it is not rusting if that's what you're worried about. I love those smaller bite size pieces - use it all the time. :-)
