What is the black circular ring at the top made of? I'm trying to avoid a pot with plastic parts. thanks.

Hello! It's a lid with no holes that closes the contents below from the air with a 'rubber' gasket. The exact material of the gasket i do not know, but the lid itself is made of the same material as the base. Mine was dropped and shattered as a consequence soon after arrival. It has not been missed. I can't figure out how it is useful because I pour and drink the coffee fairly quickly. It was in the way and I did not use it when I had it to use.

That is a gray-colored rubber gasket that keeps the glass heat lid on the pot. You can actually pour the coffee out of the pot with the lid in place.

That isn't a good photo view. The top is actually glass surrounded by a silicone-like seal to avoid glass on glass rubbing to the range, and to ensure your beverage stays hot until you're ready to drink it. I hope this is helpful to you.

Thinking on it. I guess it could be useful as a stand for the dripper when you move it away to pour your coffee. In that case, the gasket bit was useful only to stabilize the lid when stored with the base.

rubber/latex. It attracts odors, but doesn't spoil your brewed and steeped beverages (we make tea and coffee in ours). Awesome pot, doesn't spill, easy to see measurements. Both my wife and I were really happy to add this to our pour-over setup.

The black ring in this picture is only part of the lid - I can't say for sure, but I believe it is silicone of some kind which forms a seal around the glass lid. I have never had a reason to use the lid. The server itself is only glass.

It is made from silicone. It holds the lid onto the pot - not a tight seal like a gasket would create, but it keeps the glass lid from knocking into the glass body of the pot.

not sure exactly, but it seems like it's probably silicon. It does a good job of stoppering the pitcher when you have extra coffee in it that you want to keep warm. It doesn't create a full seal (I wish it would) so you can pour through it, but I usually take the top off to pour the rest of the coffee into my cup. I had this concern too- I wanted all glass / porcelain, but this little thing works perfectly with the Hario V60 cone and I would strongly recommend it- the large size- #3. That's the one I own.

I purchased two of these for my sister so I don't have one to look at. I am pretty certain that both are heavy plastic. It is a great coffee pot. My husband wanted one with a grinder and when it goes out I am going back to the Cuisinart. It keeps coffee hot for a long time.

It is a light weight metal pot with some sort of non-stick coating. I only use the plastic utensils it came with. A wooden spoon or fork would probably be fine too. I think as long as you avoid scratching it with metal utensils or cleaning pads it should last a while.

The lid and filter basket are plastic. And the black part of the urn is hard plastic. The hot water comes in contact with the basket. But most of the coffee pots i have had, have some plastic on the filter baskets. I have no issues with this pot other than there is no timer and it stays hot as long as it is plugged in. When it is finished brewing I remove the filter and grounds and leave it on for a few hours. Then I don't worry about it over brewing and getting too strong. But for the price it's a great urn.

It's a black lid. I'm pretty sure it more of a metal material but it seems like it's lined with plastic, if that makes sense.

It's plastic! I was not happy with it all! I ended up getting one where the pot is stainless steel & am much happier!

The knob on the top is plastic. There is no plastic on the inside of the pot.

There doesn't seem to be any plastic inside the pot. The lid and body of the pot are ceramic and there is a small metal heating element at the base of the pot. The outside base of the pot is plastic but it doesn't come in contact with the inside of the pot.

There is NO plastic inside the the pot. The handle is welded to the side of the pot. The percolator viewer on the lid IS however plastic. Amazon sells universal glass replacement ones though. I bought one and it works just fine. NO PLASTIC:-)

Sam,It is grey and looks like rubber, but it could easily also be synthetic. All I know is that it works really well. The first ring for my pot lasted me almost 30 years. Unbelievable!Brigitte

We have had no problems with our coffeemaker. Not sure what you mean by 'black plastic liner'. Are you referring to the basket that holds the paper coffee filter and the coffee? the inside of the coffee pot is stainless steel, so I'm sure you are not asking about the pot.

If this is the one I bought, the pot is completely stainless steel. Lid is glass. I really like it! Makes great rice and soup.

I believe the last one I ordered had a plastic basket. I have a metal one, but only because I ordered it for another pot years ago when nubs on the plastic one broke off and it wouldn't stay put anymore. Although I prefer the metal one, the plastic ones I have had in the past have held up for years at a time before I had any issues. I will say - this IS the teapot to get. Brews great tea. Let it sit for 30 seconds after you push in the plunger and you can pour off really clean tea with hardly any sediment - that all settles and stays in the bottom of the pot due to the curve of the side. It's really great. I'm on my 4th one, I think - glass pot breakages due to external forces (that would be my family). I believe the last one I ordered had a plastic basket.

The base is black. The pot is brushed stainless with a black no-stick interior. The lid is clear glass with a silver metal rim and a black knob.

I am not sure, sorry. There is a newer one out now named the NuWave Elite, but it has stainless bottom pan and the extender ring is stainless also. I have had no problems with the plastic dome or extender. The black bottom is fine also. One thing to remember if anything should happen to it within a year to the power head the NuWave site will replace it no matter where you purchase it. Keep the receipt as they do require that. I have not had to do it, but nice to know.

Completely. What isn't glass (most of the lid) is stainless steel. The only plastic are the handles on the lid, steamer insert, and the chassis - and they're secured to outside surfaces with stainless steel screws. The lid is rimmed in stainless steel, and the pot and steamer insert (if included) are of 100% good quality stainless steel. (I own the 14 cup model and I cook a pound at a time of brown rice in it - I love it!)

The top center of the lid is plastic to allow you to push to close without burning yourself. Therefore the inside circle part if the lid is also plastic. The rest of the lid is stainless steel inside and outside and so is the entire container.
