is the filter cup made of stainless steel or aluminum?

If avoiding aluminum is important to you, you may want to know that the boiler in this model is made of aluminum as well. I couldn't find this info anywhere and finally e-mailed Cuisinart directly. After several days I finally got a reply.

Hi Bill, good evening. As far as I can remember, it has no plastic part but the filter as I recall is aluminum. I hope this helps.

It says on the description it is made of stainless steel. Is there a reason to doubt the description. I have had two of these coffee pots now and I am assuming they are telling the truth. The basket and filter tube seems to be made of stainless steel but other than the word of the company description, I have no guarantee.

it's a metal filter made by the company. It is supposed to fit perfectly to the Thermos, but mine is the very slightest bit too large, and this creates a small gap around the edge as it tries to fit in. So, the small gap lets coffee grounds escape into your coffee cup.

It is plastic. I ordered the stainless steel straws to go with it. This cup is amazing. It keeps your drinks cold for a lot longer than the plastic cups.

Says "18/8 stainless steel China" on the bottom. The perforated basket seems more like aluminum. It works well for me and the coffee turns out consistent and good each time.

The filter is an attached stainless steel filter that is intended for reuse.

It looks like steel (its definitely some kind of metal). I tell you this cup is awesome. And I am someone who uses two cups per day (I go home to make two cups of coffees per day). So lot of use. BTW I have always washed it in dishwasher on the top rack.

Aluminum I believe. It keeps coffee really hot for hours. I've been very pleased and the coffee tastes great

It is stainless steel. This is the best coffee maker I have ever had. No dripping; water goes into the holding area with ease. Easy to clean. Push one button after filling with water and ground coffee. Suggestion: add a little cinnamon to your coffee. it kicks it up just a bit in terms of flavor. To be 'green' unplug the coffee maker after use; who needs that device to tell you the time anyhow?

The actual basket pressed into the porta filter is stainless. The portafilter housing is a plated composite metal, not aluminum.

The tank is made of metal. The filter housings are all plastic. Hope that answers your question.

The glass is clear. Its not plastic and i dont believe its stainless steel. Its made of some metal pan...nothing fancy. For the most part, we are happy with the purchase, but we use the kitchen plastic wrap to prevent the condensation from collecting on the underside of the lid and falling in and giving our water a metalic taste.
