Is the entire plunger stainless steel with nothing glued together?

Appears to be riveted and welded together. No glue. Feels very solidly built.

The entire unit, including the plunger, is stainless. As for glue used, I highly doubt it with Frieling as the manufacturer. Hope this helps some. Geo.

The screen and frame screw on, the knob at the top of the plunger looks pressed, glued or screwed on, but I wasn't able to easily remove it from the stem.

No glue at all. The base of the plunger consists of three parts, that screw together and can be unscrewed to wash out the coffee grounds.

It's all stainless, threaded metal on metal. No plastic. No glue. The clearance fit between the screen/plunger and cylinder is perfect, so no "stalls" as you press down, unlike some standard glass presses.

Yes, it appears so. I bought this french press based on a recommendation from someone who is VERY picky and I have never gone wrong following his or his wife's recommendation of a product.

Yes. Has plunger and a brush to clean. It has been a great investment. Wonderful machine. Amazing juice. Definitely recommend it.

The glass is, but if you're not careful with the metal parts, they'll bend and allow grinds through- so I always handwash the plunger.

maybe you replaced the mesh and the metal ring on the plunger in the wrong order. I have three of them and never had this problem.

The plunger is in sterile packaging and not designed for reuse. If reused it should be sterilized prior to repacking. Consider the risk of infection or contamination before deciding to reuse what is designed as a disposable item. My .02

Don't waste your time, this plunger isn't worth the material it was made with

Possible deposits along the plunger track, maybe calcium build-up. Try a little "CLR" or contact the manufacturer.

Yes you can disassemble the plunger. Other than to change the screen, I wouldnt see a reason to. I have used mine many times and just washing along with the cup is sufficient. Love the cup, Stays hot a long time. Doug

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but it's made of hard plastic. The top part is a plunger that slides up and down inside the outer casing. Everything is hard plastic. (Update after seeing other answers: I'm not sure where it was made since I sent it back.)

Yes, it is all stainless. The one that is black, must have been an error or something...

If you mean the piece that advances the plunger then yes I think, at least it is made of metal. The only non-metal bit on this press appears to be the actual plunger. it is made of plastic.

I believe it is. It appears to be all one piece but the outside is a beautiful copper with a stainless interior. I love mine and several friends have ordered since I received mine and everyone has been pleased.

I don't know, sorry. Mine was gift. But you can unscrew the filter at the bottom and the plunger should detach. :)

Yes m it is all stainless inside with metal base and plastic shell held together by one screw located in the center of base under a foam pad.

The plunger should not move up without pressing the gray button. Maybe it's stuck??

Yes, all sides are finished. There is no overflow drain which is a code violation in some states but my inspector didn't seem to care as many vessel sinks have the same issue. Just an FYI.
