Is the mesh as well as the handle and perimeter stainless steel? In other words, is the entire strainer stainless steel, including the mesh?

Yes, all parts are stainless. I've used this quite a few times now, run it through the dishwasher, and it works just as well as it did the day I got it. I'm very pleased with it.

Yes, the entire strainer is metal, and I would assume its all stainless steel. Nice item for the money, I would recommend it.

I do not know the answer to your question, but I do have a warning: I bought three of these for Christmas presents, and two of the recipients called me to tell me they came without the strainers!!! They like the crocks, though, and are going to use them without the strainers. Kinda a bummer, though, but not worth the hassle to try to get somebody to make things right.

Hi Ben - Reading the other comments there must be two products on the market. The product I have looks like the image that accompanies this. The only aluminum are side tubes. The strainer and basket are stainless and the turn screw is all steel (checked with magnet) with some plastic caps for looks. The screw will rust - stainless would be too soft, so after each use dry screw and apply a little olive oil. I've done a lot of work with mine.

Yes the one I bought was stainless steel. The handle has a plastic caosting

Fantastic question! I don't have an answer for you. I chose not to get glass because of the amount of people we have any given time in our kitchen. I believe they are both closed molecules with just reached boiled water- I do know my stainless steel I use to strain gravies & teas. The strainer is made very well! I was not impressed with the glass ones I was buying because we travel and this is easier for me-

I wish I could help. Strainer itself doesn't have any marks (about what I didn't pay attention before) and I threw away all the wraps and labels. Frankly, I don't get to use this strainer - the mesh is too dense for my needs, that is why I don't care much about all the details.

It is all stainless steel. I've had mine several years, now, and it has held up perfectly.

NO...the sugar will pass through the mesh. I poured 1/4 cup of regular sugar (C&H; Paper Container), all of the sugar passed through the strainer. I hope this helps answer your question.

Yes it is all stainless. And appears to be quite sturdy. I am thinking about ordering another one :)

The entire lid IS stainless.. Not plastic. Silicone & mesh plunger very sturdy AND you can replace it as needed, if the silicone wears down. There is plastic on the rim of the mesh that covers the pour spout but again seems pretty sturdy.

I've never tried that. I think the mesh is the same size as the metal strainers.

The mesh is definitely not plastic, it is some sort of fine woven metal, sorry but not able to tell exactly which metal.

The screen is stainless or it would have rusted by now. The part on the strainer looks to be stainless. The rod part is hard to tell maybe a different quality of stainless then the other parts? I don't think there is any aluminum in it. Is it just me or does "Mike Robison" sound like he is pitching this product? It's as easy to clean as any other French press that i have used anywhere in the world. What qualifies any of these people besides the manufacture to state the materials it is made of? The description does say all stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and strong BPA free plastic.

The deluxe model states that the inner basket is stainless also. I think the non-deluxe model has an aluminum strainer.

The picture shown looks a little bit different than the one I bought, but mine is mostly plastic except for the crank,gears, and strainer basket I've been happy with it so far and I've probably used it 10 times now.

The mesh portion is metal. The black portions (which I think are there to hold the mesh metal together) are plastic.

This is difficult to answer for sure, but I don't think the resins used in this would contain BPA. First is the mesh part of the strainer, which is supposed to be Nylon (probably Nylon 6). Then the surrounding structure and handle appear to be either polypropylene or polyethylene (no #7 recycling symbol or other symbol is molded into mine). To my knowledge, none of these three resins are associated with BPA, which is more commonly found in polycarbonate (and maybe polystyrene) resins.
