Is the black strip down the side of the cone lip to the tip made of plastic?

Hi Jack's Mom, Yes the the support ring is made of plastic 100% in the USA.

There isn't really a black strip--I think it's an optical illusion produced by the picture. That's just the seam in the metal. The only black plastic on it is the rim around the top.

There is no black strip down to the tip. It is all stainless steel and put together with what I perceive as spot weld. No plastic on the tip as well. It is very well made. The rim is hard plastic but the poured over water never rises to that level.

the tip is rounded plastic. the rest is foam. it gives easy and did not hurt when hit with them

No. The tab is OD and the teeth are black, both non-brass. Very sturdy though.

I'm no scientist, so I'm not sure what this particular plastic is. It isn't a soft plastic like a silicone type, it's hard and as of yet hasn't stained the red cone. It's used every day (sometimes more than once) and it seems fine. If you are that unsure as to whether or not to buy a cheap little plastic cone that makes coffee I would tell you absolutely do not buy it. As for me and my husband, it works perfectly and and all you have to do is heat the water. We love it.

The black is plastic. I have used mine many time and have never encountered any problems. Very satisfied.

No its black plastic on the back exterior but the rest is stainless steel. Best damn coffee maker I've ever had. Makes greast coffee and espresso/lattes. It even has some hot chocolate attachement.

There is a small black tab along the side. You can see it in photo as a little part that sticks out

No! If you attempt to remove the plastic tip the whole thing will break and will need replacement tip, the plastic holds the small rubber piece inside from breaking sooner than it should

Tyler, I found it on the plate where the stirrers plug into the mixer. In our case, its a black plastic strip. Hope this helps.

most likely its its plastic is really noticeable. its not like the texture of a pen.

The black part pictured is all plastic so once you start to apply any pressure, it cracks and breaks. Save your money. This would be a quality product if not for the plastic.

It is just plastic, I used a fine tooth hack saw to cut it and cleaned up the cut line with some sand paper.Cheers...

The cup is not plastic....the cone is plastic. I realy like my Melitta, very handy for me at work as I do not want to use a plug in and forget to turn it off. Great on camping trips as well.

The black plastic bottom was permanently attached. I say "was" because the very fragile glass broke some time ago.

You're correct. The black is plastic; however, it's a very durable coupling.
