Is the lever action on the pump part plastic or metal?

It feels and sounds like metal...with what appears to be chrome paint..it cleans up very easily, keeps the coffee hot, even overnight. We have used ours every day for a year, and it looks brand new. I would buy another one without any hesitation, and couldn't get by without one now, as I despise the taste of burnt coffee.

It looks like plastic but it durable. We've never had one break. This pot and the previous pot saw daily use at our church/school. The lever and pump mechanism were never an issue. However the previous pot after yeomen service and abuse, finally succumbed. Seems like it lost its vacuum and would not hold the heat .

Its made out of brass and nickel I believe.... No plastic what so ever except the pads on the valve keys...

As far as I can tell, it is metal. We have had no problems with it in the past year. The on/ off lever works like it was new and the stream/ spray switch on the head is still going strong.

Lever is metal. Everything is pretty much metal except for the wing nut to adjust the tilt.

The slide and frame are metal. The trigger is plastic. It is a very durable gun.

The "body" is metal. The green is a molded cushioned material over the metal body. The red is plastic and the lever is a heavy duty plastic. I have two of these and my wife, the gardener, loves them.

I have the stainless steel model. The base and lever are metal. The pull-out faucet is plastic, but very nice. Don't know about the white model.

There are plastic internal components, the grips are plastic, and the ejection port cover (part of the outer barrel under the metal slide) is plastic. Otherwise it is full metal.

The only metal part, that I can tell, is the spring. Everything else is plastic but it's very durable plastic.

The whole outside and trigger are metal but the barrel and the grip. The grip is plastic and junky, but you can easily replace them with better ones

The two I have owned are metal. There are some small parts that are plastic. But most of the frame and action is metal. That being said, it might be best to go to the Crossman site for the very latest.

The lever is a heavy duty plastic. I have had no issues with it. Great iron!

The top section that includes the sprayer is metal but the actual sprayer (nozzle) is plastic.

April 23, 2014. Ms. LeeJai Cook, Roaring Springs TEXAS.Hello, MTC. I just now examined the valve control levers.They are not metal. On the other hand, they do not look likeordinary plastic. They feel more like some kind of rubber.I hope this helps.Best wishes.

The inner cap of the lid and the part of the plunger that holds the mesh are plastic. The plunger shaft is metal.

No. The lever is plastic. Still seems solid and I've used it a bit. I can't imagine the lever breaking from normal use. Overall I really like this bb gun.

The lever is plastic, there is a soft (silicone?) cover on the stopper but the important thing to know is that the plastic lever breaks after a while, regardless of how careful you are! I just posted a review on this. Mine lasted 10 months.
