is the lid/filter plastic? It looks like a black piece in the photo

The top of the lid is metal, but the underside is plastic. Well made, thick, not at all flimsy.

Plastic. The problem with this contraption is the wire mesh. It just does not provide a good seal. I've tried everything to try to create a better seal, but nothing really works

I understand your concern about the plastic as that was one of our concerns but upon arrival discovered it was possible to raise the lid at the time of pouring the coffee so it didn't come in contact with the actual plastic. Its a wonderful French press.

Flimsy is NOT the point. Plastic in contact with food especially hot food is not a great idea.

Hi Linda,The black plastic is a "T" filter housing. One end is a blank cap for filter changing, one end connects to your water source, and the last one is the outlet for filtered water to the misting system.

The inside and outside are the same, and I believe the filter is stainless steel as well. The only plastic is the black part.

The clear part is plastic. The green is a bit like a cross between silicon and plastic the inside looks like silicon but the outside looks like plastic (I hope that makes sense). The lid and the bottom are both flexible so you can get them on and off easily to clean it. I expected it to be bigger but it's not too bad. Is this any help?

It is all one piece, in other words, the top is fused and yes, it is clear. There is a precut opening where your filter will sit and also where the light sits too, otherwise, its all solid..which makes access to the inside a little tight, but otherwise, it is a nice piece.

No it was plastic, but mine has been great ever since we put it in. Good luck

The only plastic is on the under side of the lid and the small frame of the mesh filter. The rest of the inside is complete, seamless stainless steel.

Yes it is, it is primed black and made from the same plastic as the damaged one it replaced. I am very satisfied with mine.

The clear lid is plastic,yes.My base unit, surprisingly, seems to be all metal.It works all right, but mine is REALLY hard boiling 6 eggs. The centers are a very, very deep gold.Hmmmm.It is also a lot smaller than the old West Bend it replaces. But it fits in the wall cabinet better.So far, I am giving it a 3 out of 5.I will update later.

No. The filter basket assembly is partly plastic with a very fine metal mesh. The seal on the press feels like silicone. Other than discoloration, I have not had any problems with it or think it is deteriorating in any way.

The clear container jar is Glass. The black lid on top and the black base are plastic. It is sturdy and easy to handle. I really like it and it works for my needs perfectly.

It has a plastic lid with filter, but not recommended to leave it on while cooking. It'll melt.

Well the cylinder is actually glass, not plastic. But not sure about the lid tho.

I recently purchased this machine and can tell you that the filter holder is a very sturdy clear plastic. Hope this helps !

Yes. It's a little charcoal filter and the plastic is tightly formed to it, as you noticed, so just got to a crimped edge or try to squeeze it together so you don't puncture the filter itself.

No. The interior, including the lid, is completely metal. The only plastic is the black parts you see in the photo. I hope this helps! ;)

No, filter basket is plastic and drops into place in the top of the machine.
