On the BlackGranite Perc, is the little window glass or plastic?

I believe it is plastic (I bought a glass replacement when I bought the unit). Make sure you get the version with the real handle. I got the one with a loop that swings up and it's a problem because the whole thing gets really hot and it takes two gloved hands to pour from the hot thing into your cup (one to hold the weight from the top, other to tip it).

It was plastic and it melted the first time I used it so I had to buy a glass replacement window.

Glass, but not the toughest glass around.Be delicate with this kitEdit: im pretty sure its glass due to the way it cracked, just my guess.

It's metal and glass only. Has small clear rubber 1/4" disc's between legs and glass top. Works well for us.

It appears to be glass, however I have not broken one so I cannot tell. They seem to heavy for plastic.

It is solid glass but the type that will crumble like doors and windows so you won't get a serious cut if something breaks. Have 3 of them.

If it is a standard replacement, it is actually glass. There are metal back covers available.

It's not glass, but a heavyweight, resin type material. There are two bulbs. We are very happy with ours.

This was hard to tell because the black plastic covers the bottom outside so you can't tell visually. But I drained it and felt around inside (there are some odd ridges and bumps) and it all felt like glass. Hope this helps.

Plastic. Not too bad. They stay on the window, ans hold pretty big drinks. I like them.

It is glass, it's a very nice piece. It provides very warm lighting not harsh or too bright. I use mine in a small office space with another small lamp instead of overhead lights, it's perfect for what I was needing.

It is definitely glass. I have broken one and it sure is tempered glass, thankfully...not a scratch on my screen. I am a professional glassworker, so I do know the difference between glass and plastic.

Glass. But the one I bought for my parents has broken within a year. Disappointed

I Would say glass. Not metal. It gives real distance to object, nothing concave. Since use, I cannot ride without it now as I am much more aware on traffic coming up behind, from big lorries to small mopeds

The glass is glass. Don't know what the metal is however I returned it - not because of anything other than it is very very small. The measurements they list are misleading. Great looking item but expect it to be smaller than you may think it is.

The 2 small edges on the rolling top is plastic. The rest of the black is rubber.

Plastic and after several months use, I'm very pleased with it. My coffee and wine (later purchase) both stay very fresh after opening the original container. I'm sure the plastic is better than glass would be for this product. One big factor is breakage. You must, must, must keep the gaskets around the rim clean and free of everything for best performance. Happy New Year, Hal

The Black and clear part of the loupe are plastic. The lenses are glass. It works really well.
