What type of plastic is this made of? Looking for a small brewing bucket (which would need to be food-grade).

I looked mine over and there is no writing or recycle number anywhere on the thing, so there's no indication of what it's made of. Also, if you go to its page on the manufacturer's website at http://www.sterilite.com (do a search for 1167 to find this bucket) you'll see that the manufacturer recommends it for painting and cleaning. Since that manufacturer also makes products for food storage and since no mention is made of using this particular bucket to prepare or store food, I wouldn't use it in that way. Better safe than sorry!

The entire thing is plastic and small. My hummingbirds preferred our larger glass cylinders. Hope that helps.

No, unfortunately, it's plastic. There's popular mall tea store that has a brewer that has a stainless steel basket at a high price.

It is plastic. I've been using mine on a gas stove with no problems. Note: it does get a little hot so I'd recommend a pot-holder, if you're going to grab right after it's done percolating.

It is plastic. It is very, very durable and I would highly recommend it. We have both the large version and the 2 cup model. Very Satisfied with both.

The bucket is really wood but the inside is plastic. The Canister is Aluminum.

No, it's plastic. Very tough plastic. Overall, the best canister I used, great for a up to 3 days for 2-3 people

The handle is plastic, and the end of the overflow tube inside the kettle is plastic. the mesh filter is also plastic. but aside from those small pieces, the interior and exterior are metal.

plastic plastic plastic! HOWEVER...for my purposes, I appreciate that...for the money, it's fine. For a restaraunt, it wouldn't last 2 months. For me, it sits on my stove...great for my 6 year old who channels Winnie the Pooh, I swear!

I am not certain of the exact constitution of the material, but it is "plastic-like". The heating/frothing disc, part of the inside of lid, and the inside bottom of the pitcher all contain a plastic-like material.

This is hard plastic not metal. Seems to work great though with no leaks or dripping. Descent quality! Good luck to you!

The bucket is a heavy white plastic. It has a recycle #2 on the bottom which I think is a number that was in the "safe" category for human drinking bottles. It also says it was manufactured in Massachusetts . My chickens started drinking from it the first day. It is currently frozen with all the Arctic air we have had this winter. I have had to give fresh water in a bowl. I am still very happy with purchase.

The only plastic I see on the whole machine is the base, the water reservoir, and the drip catcher under cup which is covered in stainless steel. The boiler has to be made of stainless steel.

The spigot looks like a very hard plastic. It certainly is not stainless steel. But the plastic is very tough!

Its a hard plastic. I use mine for additional counter space activities like chopping vegetables and I love it. But do not turn on the stove burners because it will melt. Am not sure how heavy your portable stove is but this is fairly sturdy.

I don't think any of it is exactly "plastic." Bakelite maybe? I've been using mine for almost two years, on a daily basis. This is actually my everyday coffee maker, so it's on for about 10-12 hours a day (I'm at home full time) and I LOVE this machine!

I like the percolator. I just need the basket lid, but I can say that I believe the whole thing is stainless, except for the obvious plastic (or composite, whatever) parts..
