Is the filter basket and stem made of stainless steel also or aluminum

It is all Stainless including the basket and stem..... it makes wonderful coffee as long as you get the correct grind coffee - for percolators.

The fliter basket & stem are both of stainless steel. I find no aluminum in the entire Percolator. I took the tip of a paring knife, steel blade tip and tried to scratch in the stem and it doesn't scratch: it's as hard as the knife tip where aluminum would scatch as the knife tip would be much harder than Aluminum. The filter basket is identical and both are heavier than Al.

Do NOT be fooled. You still need to use a Paper coffee filters in this basket. There is a certain type of Unhealthy oil material that comes off of All coffee..Only the coffee filter can catch it.If you notice with this is sold separate, Melitta 628354 Disc Coffeemaker Filters - Pack of 2 (200 Filters total)by Melitta ...Btw Dr. Oz talks about the need for coffee filters all the time even if your coffee pot comes with the mesh, or percolator , for a good reason.

The entire assembly is 100 per cent stainless steel except for the plastic cap and the handle. The filter basket is very well made. I'm using standard Folgers medium roast and no grounds get past this filter.

I have every reason to believe it is stainless steel. No marking on it to back me up, but the weight of it compared to the weight of aluminum has me convinced it is stainless steel! I still love this coffe pot! I sold my electric one at the garage sale a few months ago!

Knob on top it plastic but I did check before I bought it and made sure that the entire inside and basket assembly is made of stainless steel.

I think it was aluminum but don't remember. I returned it as spigot leaked.

The side bars are metal, aluminum I think, and the baskets are plastic. The baskets are very sturdy, however. I did a lot of research before buying this and I'm happy I chose this. It's well made and durable and it was easy to put together. And the best part is it doesn't swing around when I open and close the door.

I am sorry....I honestly do not know whether it is made out of stainless steel or aluminum. I can tell you though that I absolutely love this machine!!

Yes, the filter is made of 100% 316 grade stainless steel. We don't use any bonding material in the welds, so there's only stainless steel there.

Says "18/8 stainless steel China" on the bottom. The perforated basket seems more like aluminum. It works well for me and the coffee turns out consistent and good each time.

It is metal. It is a nice product, but the finish on the tube is slightly wavy. Not bad but could be better. The red filter turns gray after a few weeks.

I 'm not sure, but I think it' s made of Stainless steel because it doesn' t look like aluminum

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.

Stainless Steel also, the only plastic piece is what you can see from the picture that is plastic..the rim where it pours out and the button mechanism

Yep plastic where the filter is. There's a removable plastic basket and then the well it sits in is plastic.

It's metal filter, just screw it apart, wash and ready to go again. The whole can and filter are stainless steel.

It is made of plastic, nylon and metal. There's no problem with metal parts. This is a great pop filter.

The filter is some kind of synthetic material--I think--very fine mesh. It eventually clogs, and you either have to take the basket apart to clean the filter or simply replace the whole basket. It's pricey, though, about 25.00, including shipping.

It is aluminum but the fit is so tight on the filter that it's hard to get off once you remove it.
