What is this press made of? Is it stainless steel?

The zyliss website says that it is aluminium and stainless steel with an Ilaflon coating. I couldn't find much information about Ilaflon. The press is excellent. I wish it was stainless.

Hi, its made of cast aluminum - quite heavy. We probably crush 80 - 120 cloves a week. Its very strongly constructed, and a nice design.....Good Health !

I believe it is aluminum. If you put it in the dishwasher it has discoloration. I have had mine for many years. I don't care how it looks. It functions better than the other ones I have bought. I bought this one for my son for Christmas. The one he had at his house left all the garlic in the press. I highly recommend this one. It really lets you get all the garlic into your recipe.

It's metal for sure and well-built. It is so light that it probably is aluminum. We love the way it works - I got it for my wife for Christmas and she uses it frequently. It has a neat little brush cleaner incorporated into its design.

It is metal but not sure what, probably a heavy aluminum. It works wonderfully, I just bought a second one for my sister.

Do believe its stainless. It's really heavy duty (no bending to pressure and is still VERY sharp- careful with the knuckles--) and works like a dream. I've had mine for about a year and use it constantly for grating cheeses, fresh ginger, zesting citrus, etc. I consider it an essential kitchen tool.

I would have to agree, I have gone through multiple French presses and they were glass or plastic and it would always break in a few months into it so I was done and just invested in a stainless steel press, amazing press. But that's just my background if your make your coffee or tea everyday I would recommend it, I bring it to work and just pour whenever I wanted more,its a convents.

All parts are stainless steel. This french press is a work of art, as well as, durable and high quality.

Everything is stainless on this pot, which is probably why it's more expensive. It's an awesome press. Preheat it & you'll have piping hot coffee for at least an hour.

Thursday, February 27, 2014 Good Evening Marie: The cover/lid on the Bodum Chambord 3 cup French Press is metal. The little black knob that sits on top is made of hard plastic. Hope this helps. Here's to Great Health and the Perfect Cup of Coffee/Espresso. Sincerely, A. Crowell

I believe it was actually stainless steel, but it was a gift to my dad so I'm not sure. Sorry I couldn't give a definite answer.

I have no idea where it was made. But this is the best press we have ever had. We will likely purchase another one.

No, it seems to be all metal everywhere. It's one of the reasons I went with this press instead of others. - tkh

The press body, the end caps, the handle and the dies are aluminum. The insert at the top is plastic (the part that fits inside the top ring that the lever attaches to) as is the foot at the bottom that presses against the dough. Both are pretty sturdy.

I don't know. I bought this press for a gift and can't remember if there were plastic parts in the inside.

Looked at the papers I saved and it does not say. I do believe it to be stainless steel. It is a good product. I really like mine.

I am pretty sure that it is stainless steel. They are built like tanks. I have pretty much converted to an electric pressure cooker; just tuneit in and walk away. No problem; love it. Try www.hippressurecooking.comas it is very inspirational.

Part of the top piece/Lid has a little plastic on the inside. The rest is glass and stainless steel. Very good quality french press

The garlic press is entirely metal and looks like stainless steel. It is very well made.
