Is the inside of the lid plastic or stainless where it contacts the liquid?

The inside of the lid is plastic. The entire rest of the flask is stainless.

As is noted below the reservoir and lid are mostly plastic, the interior of the pot appears to me to be stainless steel. I have had very good results with this unit. I rinse it with clean cold water after each use and occasionally clean it with hot soapy water and small long handled brush, give it a good rinse and let it air dry. I never once have had bitter coffee, and also would recommend it to anyone.

The lid id plastic, but this would not come in contact with the water unless you held it upside down. There is also a screen in the spout that is stainless, but this fine screen is held in place with a thin black plastic ring that has a small splash guard at the top. It is too high to be in constant contact with the water until poured. So this plastic only incidentally contacts the water briefly. We use the pot every day and it is the best electric tea pot we have ever owned or used.

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

It's all metal inside except for two very small silicone "plugs" where the water level is measured on the outside of the unit. The lid is plastic. I love it!

The best I can tell is that the interior is metal, aluminum or steel. There is a metal pipe i sert that allows the liquid to be pumped up from the bottom of the container, out through the plastic spigot at the top. I have no idea what the plastic is made of. The liquid only comes in contact with the plastic when it is dispensed. Hope this helps.

HI, The inside is stainless, keeps drinks hot and has a good (no-leak) seal.

The lid is plastic. Steam will condense on the plastic lid and drip back into the kettle. You can use it without the lid and then there are no plastic parts in contact with the water.

The interior of the bottle is stainless steel. The under side of the lid is plastic. The plastic lid is double layered plastic with a dead air space between the layers of plastic. I don't know if it is a vacuum or not. I bought a flip lid for mine and it is only single layered plastic but will still keep ice for 24 hours or more.

The lid is plastic with what appears to be a rubber type ring to seal the jar. Great product.

The lid is plastic, but I pour hot coffee into another cup so it never touches the plastic.

Shona, the lid and pouring spout are heavy duty black plastic, as you see the from the picture, as is the handle and the exterior black wrap.For me these 20 years of using this thermos, there has never been a problem. While the filter and plunger are metal, I could not say they are stainless steel as the body and interior are. Sorry if this makes this dynamo press not a good choice for you.

Jennifer R is WRONG and has obviously never used/cleaned this thermos before. It is NOT plastic inside. Only the drinking part (that can be removed) is plastic and does not touch the liquid when filled to the correct level. The inside is not a shiny stainless steel. It's a smooth, non-shiny metal. The body itself is metal. The top, screw-on cap and the part that touches your mouth (neither is in contact with the liquid if the thermos is not overfilled and the thermos remains upright) are the only plastic parts.

Mr. Coffee's ECMP50 has stainless parts on the places that touch the coffee and the milk. I can't speak to internal parts. The back water reservoir is plastic.

The spout, handle and lid are stainless steel but there is rubber seal under the lid.
