the header says copper, and "pure copper" but the explanation text states stainless steel. Confusing, no?

The Copper Tongue Cleanser which I have purchased on Amazon looks like it is all copper (It might be something else covered with copper). There was only one cleanser in the package (the picture shows a bunch of cleansers in the package). The copper cleanser which I got is very thin and bends (changes the shape) very easily, but it does the job. I used to have a stainless steel tongue cleanser and it kept the shape. I liked the staneless steel clenser better because it did not bend. I hope it is helpful. Thank you:)

As far as I can tell they are made of copper not stainless steel. Works great too.

Mine are all copper and they taste like copper too. I think you can get stainless or copper ones. These appear to have been a think gage round copper wire that's been hammered flat in the middle and curled up at the ends for grip

Derek, It says carbon steel (not stainless). It is very high quality. Hope this helps. Ron

copper is intended for the drink. Stainless will not impart flavor, copper will. Copper is needed for authentic flavor. Both copper and stainless are perfectly safe. I love the brass handle, disappointed with the stainless base metal. I assumed it was pure copper.

I believe it is. It appears to be all one piece but the outside is a beautiful copper with a stainless interior. I love mine and several friends have ordered since I received mine and everyone has been pleased.

A buyer back on May 11 scraped one of the wires to discover that they are indeed aluminum wire with copper cladding. I am answering this because this fact is not stated in the tech detail section of the listing. I was hoping to get copper wire in this price range, but it looks I'll need a time machine first.

Not really sure what you mean... If you mean the handle part it is all copper

No. It's not real copper. It's aluminum. You can get a slight color difference from heat, but not like you would get from actual copper.

I believe it is stranded copper. I can't see it, but it doesn't feel as stiff as solid copper usually does, so I would think it is stranded.

Yep, mine appears to be all stainless (the base is actually stamped 18/10 grade), with the exception of the brass (I believe) pressure relief fitting inside and the silicone seal/gasket between the top and bottom halves. I'm totally against aluminum for cooking, which was the main reason I selected this Cuisinox model. I've used and washed mine hundreds of times since the day I purchased it and it shows no signs of rust or corrosion. It reminds me every morning, that it is one of a very few products I own where the feeling of quality still has not worn off. I've never even replaced the silicone seal on it. Great product period.

The reason it is called "stainless"is because of the fact that the alloy is impervious to oxidation (rust)........must be a counterfeit! Mine is awesome and is as advertised.Love using the set.

Yes it's copper. You will periodically have to polish it when it tarnishes. We get lots of compliments on ours.

Not the one I bought-- definitely NOT stainless steel. It appeared to be zinc. It's possible, however, that the seller has remedied the problem since the time I bought mine. Seller issued me a refund when I pointed out the product did not match the description.

It is not solid copper. What it is, many small copper copper wires are wound to together.

Since the description nor my packaging say stainless, I assume it is some unknown metal that is chrome-plated. It cannot be made out of 100% chrome. Chrome is not strong enough and is only used in coatings.

I believe they are. I cut some off and looked very carefully. It does look like copper.

No, it's not solid copper. I'm not sure of the exact material, but the manufacturer describes it as 'copper finish', and it's pretty light in weight. All said, it's held up well and has remained shiny with regular cleaning and keeping it covered while not in use. Hope that helps!

The packaging states OFC. Whether or not it is "Copper 1" (pure copper), I cannot say. I can tell you that, after 24 years of doing car stereo and a degree electrical engineering, this is one of the best quality wiring kits I have used. Hope this helps
