Is this metal or plastic? Does any plastic come in contact with the coffee?

The only plastic part that comes in contact with the fresh coffee grinds are the plastic sections of the filter basket. The brewed coffee travels through plastic parts into the carafe. The carafe also has a plastic lid.

The interior is all plastic, including the filter basket. (Although they do supply a a reusable, metal basket- that I do not use. The carafe is glass with plastic top. The water goes through a paper filter and into the glass carafe - so I guess, technically, the brewed coffee has very little contact with plastic.

You will find it nearly impossible to find a coffee maker where the hot water does not come into contact with any plastic parts, especially at this and even up to the $300 price range. I couldn't find one and if anyone does, please share.

The holder o0f the paper filters is plastic; so is the cover of the glass pot; even the plate warmer is adjustable as far as temp; it has a special setting for 1-4 cup brewing

Plastic and after several months use, I'm very pleased with it. My coffee and wine (later purchase) both stay very fresh after opening the original container. I'm sure the plastic is better than glass would be for this product. One big factor is breakage. You must, must, must keep the gaskets around the rim clean and free of everything for best performance. Happy New Year, Hal

The handle is made of plastic. Everything else is glass an metal. It's all dishwasher safe and there is metal and glass that touch the coffee. The metal part is used to press the coffee grounds. In my opinion, none of that affects the taste. I love my coffee press!!

It appears to me the entire interior is made of plastic. However, we use filtered water and have never tasted any plastic. We are genuine coffee snobs. We use high quality coffee that we grind ourselves. This is an excellent coffee maker and probably the most simplistic one we've ever owned. We had to go through a lot of coffee makers before we found one we loved. I'd recommend it to anyone.

yes, the basket is plastic. Our church has been using this coffee pot for many functions and the basket looks as new as day 1. Highly recommend.

It's durable flexible plastic. It has a tiny metal spring in the bottom. The cap has a tiny silicon O-ring. You will use special coffee filter inserts with it. They are pretty awesome; I actually prefer this to the pre-filled K-Cups. I use more and better coffee in each one.

No - all metal on the inside... I really like it! It keeps the coffee good and hot. I've been using every day for this past month... fits well into the hand... may not fit some of the carriers in the cars

The whole thing is metal. I believe it is all stainless steel. I love the fact it won't break in the dishwasher (the glass ones constantly broke). I love the shape of it and it does a pretty good job keeping coffee warm because it is double walled. All in all I am very glad I purchased it. I definitely would recommend it.

No, only the outside is stainless steel. The water resevoir and everything else inside is plastic. I know what you mean. I was looking for something that's all stainless steel on the inside to try and avoid that "plastic taste" you often get from some coffee makers. Eventually I gave up as I couldn't find anything like that! BUT, somehow this coffee maker does NOT give you the plastic taste in the coffee. This is now my second time owning this model, and I'm quite pleased.Yehuda K.

No, there are no plastic parts on the inside. The handle is the only thing that is plastic. It's the reason I bought this one, I too did not want my coffee touching plastic. You'll be good with this one, get it.

Yes, it is plastic. You pour the hot water into it and press. Air pressure forces the coffee into your cup below.

It is metal. It is a nice table- I use it in my office as a coffee station.

The exterior is made of plastic. It is sturdy plastic. We have 3 different coffee machines on our counter top.They all seem to be made of similar type plastic. (Mr. Coffee, Nespresso & Keurig).

It's made of plastic. I was duped. I was looking for a 100% stainless steel coffee dripper. Instead, I got an over-priced plastic one with metal mesh.

Well the plastic cone at the top is plastic, but the parts that grind the coffee are some form of ceramic and the container that holds the grounded coffee is glass. Hope that helps.

It is not solid plastic though it does have some plastic to help the gold mesh to keep its shape. I will add that, for me this filter was a disappointment, when making a largeand /or strong batch of coffee it's not deep enough for a lot of coffee grounds and they over flow into pot.
