How big is the spigot that comes with this and is it plastic or metal?

It is a standard garden hose bib faucet. It is plastic. I'm not sure of your meaning of size as it has an approximate internal size of a little under 5/8', but will accommodate any standard garden hose. The same company offers a 3/4 brass bulkhead spigot for about $13.00

It is plastic, and standard in size to fit a garden hose. It seems very sturdy. I was very happy with the kit and used it all last summer.

The best I can tell is that the interior is metal, aluminum or steel. There is a metal pipe i sert that allows the liquid to be pumped up from the bottom of the container, out through the plastic spigot at the top. I have no idea what the plastic is made of. The liquid only comes in contact with the plastic when it is dispensed. Hope this helps.

Good quality Brass, but the brass spigot screws into the plastic barrel,just don't over-tight the spigot and you'll be fine..also thread sealer will keep it from leaking forever...

The spigot is tapered so you can use various sizes. I use a 3/8 and 5/8 without any issues.

No. It came with a cheap plastic spigot even though it was listed as steel. It would be worth it to spend more money to get better quality.. I was very disappointed with my purchase.

The spout is plastic, however, it is a very strong plastic and seems to be very sturdy.

I really don't remember, the spigot broke while my husband was installing it and we bought a different spigot at the hardware store.

Brass. Very good quality, smooth operation. The spigot may another metal but the valves are brass.

The faucet head is metal. Standard size for mounting hole. Can be mounted either side or in front.

The hard plastic spout is fine, 1" long and 3/4" diameter. I have no problems with the water bottle.

Mostly metal and easy to install. I have it in my son's house where 4 college kids and 2 large dogs use it frequently. Get the 3 way valve for a 2 shower head setup.

it is plastic and the flow was very slow, so I dip from the top (I make kombucha in it). The glass bit is thick and sturdy....the spigot is not terrific.

This is a 3/8". Works for common outdoor spigots. You may also find a 4-way key in a big orange box store in the plumbing tools section.

The spigot is 5/8 of an inch or about 15.9 mm. Uninstall curent spigot and measure the diameter. You also need to be able to put your hand iside the crock to install.

It is plastic with a silver coating. I've read reviews stating the spigot loses it's seal and leaks. So, I purchased a replacement spigot, ceramic. No, leaks thus far and I have been making my Kombucha weekly for almost two months now.

The spout is plastic, the lid or cup inner is also plastic with the outside being metal.
