No steel liner, just the bottom of the inside is steel, all the rest is plastic. This product is NOT up to the usual high standard of Russell Hobbs and only lasted a year from when I bought it , then would NOT automatically switch OFF when the water came to a boil, so could NOT leave it unattended which is the WHOLE purpose of buying this kind of product. I went back to my old reliable Breville electric kettle, which BTW is all Stainless Steel

Yes, it is velvet-like lined. I have never had a problem with any of my watches being damaged. I don't know if I'd travel with it because of the glass lid but it's perfect for at home.

There are NO plastic parts on this carafe. Best I can tell, everything is made of stainless. We used this every day for our week long camping trip and it worked perfectly. We are very picky about our coffee, we buy whole bean coffee and grind it at home. This makes a very tasty cup of coffee. Good coffee is very important when you are camping... it's how you start your day so it better be good and this carafe exceeded our expectations and is very easy to clean. Highly recommend.

The original liner is glass. They are now making a double lined stainless carafe as well because some glass lined carafes had an issue with leaking near the top seal as ours did or some other problem. We were offered our choice of a new carafe of either style. A nice company that does right by their customers. We love it!

After I read the other replies and they said it was glass line, I took the bottom off and It has a GLASS liner. I still think it is a good carafe but I won't drop it anymore.

I hope they are still glass lined - that is THE reason I bought both the Melitta Pour-Over and the Bona Vita coffee maker, which uses the Melitta carafe and funnel.

Yes, the interior of the unit is plastic. But the proper care works great. The interior of the carafe is stainless though.

yes, it is the shape of the carafe, it is hard to flush and when you pour coffee it drips. But all said, the invention of the insulated carafe is wonderful when you can have a good cup of coffee even two hours after brewing.

The thermal carafe does have a glass lining, but that aside, it's not the carafe that makes better coffee, it's the temperature of the machine that heats the water, the way the beans are ground and the quality of beans that you have. All that said, I prefer the carafe, because it doesn't continue to cook the coffee once it's brewed, resulting in the strong burnt/bitter taste that a regular carafe drip maker would.

The red one pictured is definitely a glass carafe. The one I purchased is definitely a stainless steel thermos carafe. I have had this coffeemaker for a longer period of time than any others..good coffee.

My only experience with this carafe is the fact that I wanted a stainless steel liner. Once it arrived and I saw the liner was glass, I returned it...too bad because I really like this carafe. I did not notice any black dots at the bottom of the glass liner, so I cannot help you out answering your question.

It is stainless and no lining necessary. They are used as water bottles, keeps water very cool. I hope this helps.

I don't know if it has a glass liner inside, but it doesn't keep the coffee warm for very long after it has finished brewing. I give it 30 minutes post-brew/shut off before your coffee is lukewarm.

No. You can see on the inside four tiny marks from where steel pins were forged to the carafe to attach the handle on the outside. It is a smooth join with only minor indentations. I use this at least four times a week and am pleased with it.

Well it's just your average stainless steel carafe... it's not thick or vacuum-sealed like a Thermos. But it keeps coffee VERY hot while the warmer is on (for an hour), and even for a little while after that. It definitely keeps it hotter than a glass carafe.

The newer model has a totally stainless carafe. The earlier model is a glass thermos interior.
