Does the Medelco 8 Cup Glass Stovetop Percolator have any plastic parts?

Yes, the perc has heavy duty plastic stem and basket, and part of the handle. I have used mine daily since I got it, and it makes great coffee or tea.

Yes, it is plastic. You pour the hot water into it and press. Air pressure forces the coffee into your cup below.

Yes, the basket and its lid are stainless steel. There is no plastic at all. Handle is wood and perc. is glass. Hope this helps! We love it- coffee is HOT!

No, plastic, stay away from this machine. It looks nice but coffee taste is not that good and the machine breaks easily.PLUS, service might not be what you'd expect from that supposedly reliable and known company.

There are some plastic parts, although as far as I can tell they're all on the outside i.e. with the exception of the stopper, and the pouring spout, they're on the skin of the carafe. The coffee sits in a glass inner container and doesn't tough any plastic until it's poured. I don't know whether the plastic components are BPA-free, although since the coffee isn't in constant contact with any plastic as far as I can tell, I don't think that's much of a concern.

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.

I see no plastic inside the kettle at all. Stainless steel and a heating element.

All parts appear to be stainless steel. We enjoy using the percolator and it doesn't take up a lot of counter space.

Everything is steel except the removal hard plastic percolator top. We love ours. Just came back from 5 days camping on CA beaches.

There is an insulating liner under the lid, but it does not come in contact with the coffee. No other plastic parts.

Yes, the brew basket is plastic and there is a long plastic tube that extends from the lid of the carafe which funnels the coffee to the bottom of the carafe.

Plastic, but this makes some very good coffee! The coffee bean container is smaller than the last one I had and I think they should make that part larger.

Yes, plastic. What I like most about it is the small hole in the spout. Something I have found hard to find.

Doesn't appear to have any plastic parts on it. The outer covering is advertised as leather, but I don't expect it to be exactly "top-grain".Overall, I'm pretty happy with it for the price and the cup feature.

No. There are no plastic components inside this press. The entire assembly is stainless steel.

No, nothing plastic inside. The only plastic on it are on the top cover and handle. I've been using it since Christmas and it's really the best kettle I've ever had. It whistles just loud enough to hear, and the whistle is actually kind of pleasant sounding rather than the annoying sound you hear from a lot of them.
