Is the entire filter and plunger made of stainless steel? I want to make sure there is no aluminum or plastic inside the coffee press. Thanks

The inside and outside are the same, and I believe the filter is stainless steel as well. The only plastic is the black part.

Shona, the lid and pouring spout are heavy duty black plastic, as you see the from the picture, as is the handle and the exterior black wrap.For me these 20 years of using this thermos, there has never been a problem. While the filter and plunger are metal, I could not say they are stainless steel as the body and interior are. Sorry if this makes this dynamo press not a good choice for you.

Everything that will be submerged in hot coffee is stainless steel. The only plastic exposed to the inside of the press is the underside of the lid. I have never tasted or smelled any plastic odor.

I can't verify that the coffee press mechanism is stainless steel. It is metal. It is definitely not plastic. A guess only: The mesh filter could be an aluminum alloy. The shaft and other conponents are probably stainless steel. I don't know if you are concerned about durability or health issues. The visible black top is plastic and does come in contact with the coffee.

I believe the strainer attached to the plunger lid of the french press is also plastic, i believe. other than that, don't think anything else is plastic.

About the same as any other coffeemaker, I suppose. The brewing parts are metal and hard plastic. Integrated into the brew basket is a gold filter. The carafe is glass with metal bands and a plastic handle. It's actually kind of heavy so there must be other metal parts in it.

The inside of the plunger is made out of metal or stainless steel. The bottom of the lid is plastic. The handle is plastic and so is the top of the plunger. Very sturdy and well made in my opinion.

The working parts are all stainless steel, but of course the base and handle will be of a plastic material but nothing that comes into contact with the water contents. At the back of the kettle there is a clear plastic window that shows the amount of water in the kettle. This appears to be a small reservoir and again does not appear to be part of the main water containment area. The filter inside is of a high density nylon mesh. The lid exterior is plastic but the lid interior appears to be stainless steel.Hope that helps.

the body is made of a very sturdy plastic and the filters (2) are Stainless steel encased in plastic rings nestled together in a press fit in the base of the coffee maker . if you don't mind a very small amount of very fine coffee grounds you can remove the 2nd filter and eliminate having to periodically to remove the filters for cleaning

The actual basket pressed into the porta filter is stainless. The portafilter housing is a plated composite metal, not aluminum.

The entire lid IS stainless.. Not plastic. Silicone & mesh plunger very sturdy AND you can replace it as needed, if the silicone wears down. There is plastic on the rim of the mesh that covers the pour spout but again seems pretty sturdy.

The only plastic is on the under side of the lid and the small frame of the mesh filter. The rest of the inside is complete, seamless stainless steel.

The upper and lower filters are both stainless steel. No aluminum at all in this coffee maker.I have a pot on the stove as we speak!

I don't know. I bought this press for a gift and can't remember if there were plastic parts in the inside.

It's all stainless, threaded metal on metal. No plastic. No glue. The clearance fit between the screen/plunger and cylinder is perfect, so no "stalls" as you press down, unlike some standard glass presses.

The water reservoir is made of plastic and the filter holder is plastic. This I've found is typical of other coffee makers including Krupps. The caraffe interior is stainless.

The basket where the coffee goes is stainless steel. I believe the rest is polished aluminum.

As is noted below the reservoir and lid are mostly plastic, the interior of the pot appears to me to be stainless steel. I have had very good results with this unit. I rinse it with clean cold water after each use and occasionally clean it with hot soapy water and small long handled brush, give it a good rinse and let it air dry. I never once have had bitter coffee, and also would recommend it to anyone.

Yes, the entire strainer is metal, and I would assume its all stainless steel. Nice item for the money, I would recommend it.

I opted for this after deciding to avoid plastic kettles...There are a couple of tiny plastic rivets inside the kettle body and a detachable plastic filter, but otherwise the kettle body appears to be all stainless steel.
