must have a plastic spigot for brewing kombucha. Is this spout plastic?

Hi Rebecca Yes the spigot is plastic and so far it works great and the seal doesn't leak.

It's ceramic and the spigot (?) is plastic so there should be no metal in it. Also, it comes with a plastic ring on top so when Amazon says "people who buy this item also buy this" and offer you the ring, you don't need it.

Yes it is threaded and can attach to a hose....I have never had a problem with the spigot...

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.

Yes, this has the updated spigot. However, we found the spigot problem occurred when the rubber washer was placed on the inside of the fermenter (it should be placed on the outside) and most importantly, these customers used StarSans as the sanitizer. This is an acid based sanitizer and should never be used with our equipment.

The spigot is included. It is not high quality, but works fine. It would be easy to upgrade later if you wanted or needed.

Mine came with a plastic spigot, but I bought it several months ago. It might have changed by now. Nothing wrong with the plastic spigot, and if you want to change it it is easy. Remember to use Teflon tape on the threads. Out here in California, we need rain to put in the barrel.

The faucet I received is a Krome Dispense C257.08M which has a chrome-plated brass body and stainless spout. Most of the components that contact the beer are chrome-plated brass. This is disappointing given the previous response is why I purchased the faucet.

Yes. This is pretty much the perfect setup to use for a continuous kombucha brewing system. It is glass with plastic (no metal) parts.

The spout on mine is not plastic it is metal and came that way. I double checked.......

I used mine pretty hard for kombucha, and it held up very well in the 6 months I've owned it. However, beware that the spigot is plastic with rubber (or synthetic rubber-like?) gaskets.

Unfortunately, no, the actual drinking part is made of a hard plastic :( I was also disappointed in that. The piece that fits inside the drinking spout that regulates the flow of liquid does appear to be made of a silicone type material, but could also be made of plastic, I am not sure on that piece.

No, I am really conscience about that stuff- the plastic seems to be a food grade density type. Only when I pour does it come in contact with the plastic spout. Very easy to clean, and cool to watch water boiling.

No spigot. A lobster/clam steaming pot usually has one. It might be helpful for saving the used oil but I imagine it would add to the price.

The spigot is plastic. I wouldn't use it on the next 1 that I purchase. I'll just connect a short hose and shut off valve to the drain spout at the lowest practical place. That allows me to take advantage of water pressure. The spigot is useless for me. Otherwise it's a great product.

Yes, it's plastic. The only metal is the infuser basket, which is standard.

Yes & no. The pod itself is made of metal (stainless steel?) & the spout & filter are plastic.Also, I'm surprised that you know the technical name for it - pod like thingy. :-)
