Is the heating element stainless or aluminum?

It is stainless & even the basket, etc. is stainless. Of course there are degrees in stainless also.

I believe it is stainless. Love it by the way. They only last a few years and the heating element goes out.

All stainless. My kids (who are coffee nuts) said it's the best coffee they've ever tasted. They're buying a perc now!

I don't know BUT the Farberware electric coffee makers are SUPERIOR to any other. I am totally satisfied with my 8 cup Farberware. It works SO well.....it's well insulated. I had another brand that was not this well made...even the electrical connection cannot be compared to another well known brand. And this keeps the coffee hot, does NOT, re percolate the contents. I would only buy Farberware.....

Black plastic with the bottom stainless for heating element. It's a very quick heat but the timer has never "beeped"

this is an anodized aluminum. basic aluminum that is special treated in order to provide even heat. No teflon.

The original is aluminium and the replacement is cast iron. We bought two because of this

With the exception of the wooden handle, the entire pot is stainless steel. I would never cook in aluminum - I don't even use aluminum foil.

Stainless steel...there is no aluminum on this product. You will love it. I do.

There should be an electrical cord that runs the heating element. I can't see it in the picture. On my unit the rod that supports the heating element is aluminum and the grate is stainless steel. None can be seen in the picture.

I know the new answer is stainless. But I have used aluminum all my life and never had any problems. I know when I need another pan it will be aluminum. Lighter heats faster, cooks more uniformly. Aluminum would always be my choice.

The stainless steel is just the exterior of the cooker. The part that touches your food is currently a glazed stoneware. They anticipate coming out with an unglazed model by the end of the year. Nothing aluminum touches the food.

It is all plastic and then heating element on the bottom (don't know what metal is it, but it scratches and in the places it gets scratched residue won't go off even if you use special solutions).

Their website says aluminum with stainless steel handles. I hate the stainless steel handles they get hot & aren't wrapped in rubber so they burn you.

The aluminum base is on the outside of the cookware and therefore the aluminum rests on the heating surface. The cooking side, where the food will be cooked, is the stainless steel. We have been very pleased with the cookware but learned not to cook on a "high" setting. Keep a container of "Barkeepers Friend" on hand as it seems this with a touch of warm water is about the only way it cleans up. But it does clean up and looks as new as when we took it out the box. Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure it's aluminum. I know it's not cast iron. I've used ours several times since we bought it last summer and it works great. I upgraded the cheap glass pieces to nice reflective copper colored glass shards from the fireplace/spa store and it made a huge difference in esthetics.

I believe the tray and top heater plate are aluminum but I'm not 100% sure.

I dont believe it is aluminum but it is coated with non-stick material so it is hard to tell. In two years, mine hasnt rusted yet

Aluminum core bottom, clad in stainless steel. Not used for induction glass cooktops. See item description. No aluminum touches food.

It's a pretty large unit, 16"w x 9"h x 10.5"d (12" if you count handle)outside is metal I think stainless on the front and black painted aluminum. The heating element I have no idea, it doesnt look like metal but similar to whats on an electric stove. it does have one element on top and one on bottom. I love mine, use it for toasting, baking cookies, I've even made salmon in it successfully
