Are the press parts plastic or stainless steal? Is there any plastic that comes in contact with hot liquid?

the press is stainless steel. above the press, attached to the lid, is plastic with a stainless screen to spin in front of the spout. I love the press, but there is a small bit of black plastic above the stainless press.

All metal body, shaft, and press. The lid is metal however there are two plastic parts which seal off the pouring area. You can avoid contact with the plastic by removing the top before you pour.

No plastic, but I started getting headaches. I stopped using this boilr and started boiling water in a pan on the stove top and my headaches went away.

The entire lid IS stainless.. Not plastic. Silicone & mesh plunger very sturdy AND you can replace it as needed, if the silicone wears down. There is plastic on the rim of the mesh that covers the pour spout but again seems pretty sturdy.

My son says just plastic. He says the metal ones are too small for the magazine.

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

It's heavy duty plastic. I've had no trouble using it with hot gravy off my roast. Love it!

The black sides are plastic. Additionally, I think the "metal" looking face is also but I am not able to look at this time because I am away from home. Point being- the unit has a lot of plastic. I replaced the Viking with a Breville Go-Brew w/ the stainless carafe. That unit has a metal encasement and I really think it is the best coffe maker I've had in the house to date. Love the Breville.

There is NO teflon in the press. The press is all stainless steel and is easy to clean. This is a high quality press and works well. It costs a bit more than others, but you get what you pay for.

I haven't experienced any dripping. We've probably had our press for about a year now and have experienced no problems!

Plastic. That aside this is the best "little" drill drill press I have owned. I don't do heavy drilling on a bench model. I would buy it again.

There are NO plastic parts on this carafe. Best I can tell, everything is made of stainless. We used this every day for our week long camping trip and it worked perfectly. We are very picky about our coffee, we buy whole bean coffee and grind it at home. This makes a very tasty cup of coffee. Good coffee is very important when you are camping... it's how you start your day so it better be good and this carafe exceeded our expectations and is very easy to clean. Highly recommend.

There is no plastic! I love this french press, it plunges so easily and keeps your coffee hot for a long time!

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.

Stainless with a removable rubber washer (for washing) around the inside to seal when pouring. No plastic parts, very high quality. We love it and we are picky!!

No. There is no plastic. And the coffee is very hot. I use liquid cre creamer so it is till hot after I add it.

The clear tank on top is plastic as is the press inside of it. There is a silicone gasket and a silicone distribution plate. Also the handle of the grounds holder grip is plastic. All the rest is metal.

The handle is made of plastic. Everything else is glass an metal. It's all dishwasher safe and there is metal and glass that touch the coffee. The metal part is used to press the coffee grounds. In my opinion, none of that affects the taste. I love my coffee press!!
