Is this percolator made of plastic or metal? Does it have a regular basket for holding the coffee to be perked?

It is all in plastic, a plug in it does have a metal inner bottom (floor)And plastic perminant basket. Seems to work fine to me I used it.today At Mr friend Andrea's place.

It is plastic but, the bottom (part that heats) is metal. It has a basket but not as big as a 12 cup percolator basket.

It is made of platstic and it does have a regular basket for holding the coffee, but you have to wet the basket before you put the coffee in or you can buy some of the small disk filters (Militta), that is what we use. You can get them on Amazon. Hope this was of help to you. We have had great use of this Percolator and the coffee stay hot as long as you keep it plugged in. It is a good buy for the money.

The unit is made of plastic. There is a basket at the usual place at the top to hold the coffee, also plastic. The inside bottom part where the heating element goes is metal though.

just checked my basket... looks like very fine mesh not made out of any metal... very flexible, it's the best for coffee pot, no need for paper filter.

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.

It is a combination of plastic and metal pieces. No cups come with it. You must furnish your own. It's tall enough that you don't have to refill it very often. I love mine!!

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.

No it's plastic!!! And I highly recommend you look at something else!! I bought the original coffee team plus which lasted over 12 years, then I bought this one when it quit heating and it failed to heat only after 2 years

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.

It is metal. Great coffee pot. Keeps coffee hot between my husbands cup at 4am and mine at 8am.

There are NO plastic parts on this carafe. Best I can tell, everything is made of stainless. We used this every day for our week long camping trip and it worked perfectly. We are very picky about our coffee, we buy whole bean coffee and grind it at home. This makes a very tasty cup of coffee. Good coffee is very important when you are camping... it's how you start your day so it better be good and this carafe exceeded our expectations and is very easy to clean. Highly recommend.

It us a very simple design. It is a plastic basket. The pod is its own filter and you can even use the tea bag style coffe servings as well.

The exterior is made of plastic. It is sturdy plastic. We have 3 different coffee machines on our counter top. They all seem to be made of similar type plastic. (Mr. Coffee, Nespresso & Keurig).

Yes, the bottom is metal. You might not need the hot plate, though. The pot keeps coffee warm for quite a while.

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..

we only used ours for a couple weeks. I thought I could taste plastic. Ended up odering a percolator coffee pot and we love it

It does not appear to come in contact. The pump tube, where the coffee percs from, is above a small aperture leading to the o-ring. The pump tube bypasses the o-ring aperture and percs directly into the plastic knob in the cover. Yes, the knob in the cover on the model I use is plastic. In the end plastic is inescapable!

It has a plastic basket which needs a paper filter inserted into it to hold the coffee grounds.
