Does anyone know if the heating plate inside the container where the coffee is stored is aluminum or stainless steel?

I'm not a metals expert, but the plate looks and feels like stainless. And I don't think aluminum would be the metal of choice for inside the container. It's easy to clean also, using regular dish soap ( Dawn).

I called Cuisinart and it is aluminum. It has a coating on it called Xylon.

One reply noted that they use Xylon coated Aluminum. Couldn't find that but there is a coating called Xylan that is made of low friction, wear resistant composites of fluoropolymers and reinforcing binder resins. The fluoropolymers utilized in Xylan coatings consist of PTFE, PFA, and FEP, Yikes! That's Teflon. Here we go again.

Actually i have no idea.....i looked closely at both the heating element itself and the plate in the bottom of the coffee resivoir, neither are labled but my guess from looking at it is that it is stainless steel.....it sure cleans like stainless steel,..effortlessly. i hope this helps.

Hi - I don't completely recall. Was unable to find a properly fitted replacement pot. Instead purchased Mr Coffee from Amazon which I believe has a stainless steel pot. I didn't prefer the taste so exchanged for the glass one and have been very careful NOT to break it. By the way Mr Coffee a much better design, etc.

the inside of it is metal, looks like aluminum to me, i think stainless steel would take a lot longer to heat up.t takes about 20-25 seconds to heat up about a large coffee cup size of water.the water comes out above the cup , below the the water container. it is a short plastic 3/4 in downspout.

Yes, it does much to our chagrin. The tank is food grade plastic and the tubes are silicon. We use it anyway, because it has SO many other components that DO NOT have plastic or aluminum. It makes GREAT coffee! We use spring water in the tank, and figure it's getting heated in the brass boiler, so at least it's not a lot of leaching....after looking into so many coffee makers, this one won over the rest. My husband wants to make a stainless steel or copper lining for the tank. Hope this is helpful.

Absolutely not. Stainless steel throughout. This is a fabulous product and delivers the best tasting coffee we've ever experienced; bar none.

Stainless steel. I really love this mug. It keeps my coffee hot for a very long time.

yes, the entire coffee pot is stainless steel except for the glass knob.this is the best coffee pot you will ever own.fill the pot with your desired amount of coffee and water - then put on high heat untill the first perk -then turn the heat down to medium and perk for exactly 7 minutes. make certain that you loosen the glass knob each time you put the pot on the fire or else the glass knob will crack. keep well and treat yourself kindly. god's blessings to you.thank you, lord, amen.

It's metal but I don't think stainless steel. It's not a thermos. Our old one had a thermos inside and it kept the coffee hot for hours. Sadly they don't make that one any longer which is why we bought this one. It doesn't keep the coffee hot that long but I like that it doesn't have a warmer under the pot. I don't like the way coffee tastes when it "cooks" over the warmer for hours.

It's stainless steel, you can't go wrong. We let the entire pot get black with coffee stain (lazy); came back beautiful with an SOS pad and some elbow grease...elbows ain't what they used to be. Hope this helped.

love this coffee maker & yes the coffee reservoir is plastic with a stainless steel bottom which sits onto a metal heating plate. note: coffee has a tendency to taste like plastic when left heated for a long time. i dont clean mine as directed i just rinse it.

It's plastic, i dont know of any coffee pots with a stainless tank. We have had zero problems with this coffee pot though. It's fabulous

The whole thing is metal. I believe it is all stainless steel. I love the fact it won't break in the dishwasher (the glass ones constantly broke). I love the shape of it and it does a pretty good job keeping coffee warm because it is double walled. All in all I am very glad I purchased it. I definitely would recommend it.

the inside is ceramic, just the heating mechanism is metal. don't know what kind of metal, but think its stainless cause it does't rust.

It is metal. Great coffee pot. Keeps coffee hot between my husbands cup at 4am and mine at 8am.

I don't know the temperature but the coffee is hot. The tank is only stainless steel on the outside. It is plastic on the inside. I thought I was getting a stainless tank was the reason I ordered it.

The pot is described as stainless steel if it contains aluminum I could not say because I bought it believing that what amazon says in their description is the truth.
