Is the knob on top glass? Is there any plastic or aluminum on the inside of the pot? I'm concerned about any toxins leaching into my coffee.

Knob on top it plastic but I did check before I bought it and made sure that the entire inside and basket assembly is made of stainless steel.

The knob on the top is plastic. There is no plastic on the inside of the pot.

I just returned one due to some sort of material, plastic or siliconon inside the pot sealing the handle attachment.

No plastic. Solid metal. Even the knob on top is stainless. I am very careful about plastic and this product has no plastic touching anything you will be consuming. I agree with Flamimgo; it is a great kettle.

No - all metal on the inside... I really like it! It keeps the coffee good and hot. I've been using every day for this past month... fits well into the hand... may not fit some of the carriers in the cars

No it does not. I purchased it because I had concerns about the plastic in my old coffee pot. It is all stainless steel except for the handle and of the coarse the top has a glass peculator cup to see the coffee while it perks. We love the pot it makes a great cup of coffee and it is HOT!!!

I think that is a plastic piece on top, under the shiny knob. Mine arrived bent and I returned it after a couple uses. I did not like heating on the stove - the metal gets so hot. I don't like all the cleaning. I bought a decent battery powered frother and it works great.

The plastic (we think) is so that when your thumb and finger touch the unit your less likely to burn yourself. The interior is stainless there are no other plastic parts. It work as expected and we enjoyed a little espresso on our overnight backpack trip. Super fun.

The lid does screw all the way off No, I cannot tell how much coffee is left unless I take the lid off to look inside. I have not found a way to separate the top part of the maker itself from the rest but I run vinegar through it on occasion. none of the bad review problems have happened to me and it is working just fine. I set my coffee to brew at 5 AM but by 6:30 it is not lip-scalding hot anymore I have never put my coffee pots in the dishwasher so I can't advise you there.

There is no rubber or plastic inside the pot. I really enjoy this pot. It has metal legs so you can keep the coffee hot by setting it on your stove. It's a great coffee maker!

Yes there is plastic in the lid. If you keep the water level below max the boiling water wont touch the top. I'll only come in contact when pouring.

I like you am concerned about plastic and aluminum parts. This boiler has no aluminum or plastic parts at all, except the handle which does not come in contact with the water. The inside of the lid is hollow. It's stainless steel and snaps into place. Some people have comented on it getting hot, but if you just hold the handle, and not the lid itself it's not so hot that you can't hold onto it. We are very happy with this water boiler, we use it every day for pour over coffee. We'd be suffering over stove boiled water without it. Heats water in less than 4 minutes.

Yes it is Stainless, but it does not keep anything hot. I have only used it once to pour hot coffee into it, then I shut off the coffee maker. It does not hold heat at all, coffee was totally cold in about an hours. I have no idea why you would want to utilize this pot, unless of course you are a breaker of glass carafes. Not worth the money at all. Also, on the box it specifically states there is no warranty at all.

The body is entirely plastic and has a metal element in the bottom of the pot. The element is not covered with anything and it corrodes from continual use. I had two of them and they both did the same thing. I would have metal shards floating in my drinks.

The interior is all plastic, including the filter basket. (Although they do supply a a reusable, metal basket- that I do not use. The carafe is glass with plastic top. The water goes through a paper filter and into the glass carafe - so I guess, technically, the brewed coffee has very little contact with plastic.

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 metallic taste. the plunger screen does make a scraping sound (metal to metal), but I can not imagine that there is any measurable wear to the stainless or metal being deposited into the coffee. We have been real happy with this press. It is simple, easy to clean, well built and has no plastic. It won't break and has better thermal properties than our old glass beaker. Hope this helps.
