Is the inner chamber tapered to match the outer shape of this pot? If so, how does the screen fit against the sidewalls all the way to the bottom?

It's not tapered, just a cylinder. Be careful not to push to hard though, I did and got burned.

No, the inner chamber is not tapered to match the outer shape. The inner chamber is what I would describe as a perfect cylinder. The screen fits perfectly so as not to allow coffee grinds to pass through/around the screen. I am very picky about my coffee and I grind my beans fresh for every pot. This pot exceeded my expectations.

No it is not tapered inside. The bottom is the same size as the filter screen.

Mine has never fit the pot they claim it is for.The outside of the lip is 9 15/16 and rides up on the pan. The diameter of the lid is 10 1/4.[Looking at the other answers, they are just all over the map. Where is their quality control.]

Not sure exactly what you mean, but the bottom of the pot is flat. It does have rolled edges at the side though. Hope this answers your question.

Yes. The bottom is very thick - I purchased this type because it resembles an All-Clad stock pot at a fraction of the cost. I brew beer in this and it sits on my burner on high for over 3 hours. No problems.

The difference in the length and width dimensions could be the inner and outer measurements or those at the top and bottom as the sides taper slightly. The two different depths would only make sense for two different models (mine is about 5.5") as an earlier reply suggests.

If you are talking about just the pot - yes, it will fit. It would not fit if you want to put the whole system on it. Also, I wouldn't put a hot pot on the wood. It would probably mark the wood.

probably - widest point of the main pot is 8 1/2 in base is closer to 8 (is tapered).

my cuisinart pot has a lip on it; it seemed to fit that without any problem. The clip is on a slide, so the height can be adjusted. I also like that it's dishwasher safe.

I customized mine with absolutely no issues. I could measure it, but I believe I dropped the screen down by 3/4 inch. It woulded out to be where one hole was exactly in the middle of the existing factory holes.

The pot will fit BUT the original lid is no longer be a tight fit. Steam and heat will leak out.

I put an 11" deep round pot that is 12" across. It just barely fits. The one I used is made of a corrugated type material that has a little give to it.

The bottom on the outside looks different from the one I purchased. Mine doesn't step in like that. It is smooth to the bottom. I love my pan though. I use it frequently because I can put it under the broiler if the food isn't browned enough without worrying about breaking it.

The side are pretty much straight up (90 degrees) from the bottom. there is no taper ,so I believe the inside and outside diameter is the same. We love ours, nice and heavy, solid feel.

It doesn't really have sides. It's nearly flat and ripples around to fit the container. I can just cram it in to my one-quart saucepan.

No, not really, it's a nested lid made to fit any of the pots with"stairstepped" sides

Well, I have the pot right in front of me and I'm not sure. There are some indentations around the edge of the handles that would make me think they are riveted, but the indentations don't go all the way through. The inside is completely smooth. It looks like the side handles are one piece with a base plate giving them lots of strength where they are attached. The lid handle appears to either be welded or riveted like the side handles but without the base plate.
