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.

The water tank is plastic! Truthfully I have never heard of a stainless one!!

Plastic and non-removable. I'm not aware of anything stainless. Good luck Charles.

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

The tank is plastic, but it's a well-made coffeemaker. We use this model at my office at work where 3-4 pots are made per day and after a year and a half, it's still working fine. It's easy to clean.

It's made of plastic. I was duped. I was looking for a 100% stainless steel coffee dripper. Instead, I got an over-priced plastic one with metal mesh.

Short answer: yes it's stainless steel Aside from the rubber gasket and gold plated decorated parts it is all stainless. Everything that comes in contact with the water/coffee is stainless steel.

As others have mentioned, it's black plastic. I use a measuring cup instead of trying to find the numbers inside the reservoir, and filtered water. You've got to put the water in something anyway, to get it into the coffeemaker, so it's easier to use a measuring cup. Don't let the plastic reservoir dissuade you--it makes a fabulous cup of coffee!

We have had no problems with our coffeemaker. Not sure what you mean by 'black plastic liner'. Are you referring to the basket that holds the paper coffee filter and the coffee? the inside of the coffee pot is stainless steel, so I'm sure you are not asking about the pot.

Yes, the water reservior is made of plastic. I do not know the BPA impact, but I know the coffee is SUPERB.

It's actually hard plastic. You should know, however, that Viking has stopped making this machine, so it may not be available for purchase. Also, this machine is LOUD when it's brewing the coffee.

It's durable flexible plastic. It has a tiny metal spring in the bottom. The cap has a tiny silicon O-ring. You will use special coffee filter inserts with it. They are pretty awesome; I actually prefer this to the pre-filled K-Cups. I use more and better coffee in each one.

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.

I bought my Brew and Go in 2008. It makes 1-3 cups a day and works fine. Early reviews complained about the plastic look etc. Now for the price you are not going to get stainless steel. I use a small paper filter put two scoops of grinds in, insert into basket kind of folded over. Coffee comes out great and it prevent having to clean the basket too often. Yes it is plastic and feels flimsy but works and works and works.

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.

No, only the outside is stainless steel. The water resevoir and everything else inside is plastic. I know what you mean. I was looking for something that's all stainless steel on the inside to try and avoid that "plastic taste" you often get from some coffee makers. Eventually I gave up as I couldn't find anything like that! BUT, somehow this coffee maker does NOT give you the plastic taste in the coffee. This is now my second time owning this model, and I'm quite pleased. Yehuda K.

Yup, works great. I had my last one for a couple of years and it continued to work. But at the price, I try to replace it every year as it's plastic and coffee acids accumulate on plastic. It drips when you fill it, but it's only water. However, it's REALLY fast and makes fine coffee.

It does pass through plastic parts, and the permanent coffee filter which is a wire type mesh ( I like this better than paper) but, it brews the coffee very quickly, and I have never noticed any " plasticky " taste.I enjoy my fresh ground organic coffee every morning and this coffee maker does a great job.I only paid $80 though for mine.....don't know why the price is so high now....

The coffeemaker is all stainless steel, except the black heat resistant plastic handles. And it works great. AF.

Yes, the top is stainless steel covered plastic. But, the plastic is well supported by the stainless steel, so it shouldn't lessen longevity. I like this little French press-perfect for a single cup.
