Are there any plastic parts inside the stainless steel cup?

From what I can tell, yes. There is a dome like piece that joins the blade with the bowl. This piece could very well be a hard plastic; it's not soft. I'm not clear why the question though. I've ground many spices without even a scratch on the smooth glossy piece. Everything seems to stay brand new looking. I use an OXO Bottle Brush to very easily clean the bowl leaving no residue trace behind. I very much recommend this grinder - but I only need it for grinding spices, which it consistently and very effectively accomplishes.

The connection between the SS cup and the motor/base is plastic but it is very, very thick, as heavy duty as on a full size blender. It's nothing to worry about. The only thing you need to be careful with is when you twist the plastic lid onto the SS cup. It's a 90 degree turn twist lock and if you break the plastic lock feature the unit may not operate (safety feature), such as slamming it on hard and twisting it will the full force of your hand. This is the only grinder anyone needs. If I was Bill Gates I would still only buy this one, it's a fair price for the unit and all anyone needs to grind beans.

Blades sit on a "domed" piece that is some type of material, feels more rubbery. There are plastic parts on the underside where the motor engages. Looks very similar to the mechanisms on all blenders but Oster (they use metal).

Hi David, No plastic/all stainless steel-except the leather glued around it.

Yes, the whole thing is stainless steel. I always put mine in the dishwasher to sanitize them before a trip. I'm very impressed with these cups, they perform much better than I anticipated, clean up easily, and look great.

The cup, handle and bottom are plastic. The bottom has small round rubber feet to prevent the cup from sliding around

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

The inside is plastic. I bought it for my brother and he loves everything about it (the cup, not the plastic).

The only plastic inside is for the spigot which is very small. The rest is stainless steel and the filters. Best tasting water...very fresh, odorless, crisp...

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!!!

Hello! The only plastic part inside is the water measuring stick, the metal round inside is containing heating equipment and it has no seams inside kettle so it's perfectly safe to use, no plastic. I've got this kettle for my mom a year ago and it`s the best one from all we had, still working, no plastic taste. Please enjoy!

No, there is not any plastic pieces parts. All sides, fasteners and slot holders are made of brushed stainless steel. These parts do not even spot! We did treat the teak wood with a teak wood oil before we began to use the seat. Hope this all helps!

Mr. Coffee's ECMP50 has stainless parts on the places that touch the coffee and the milk. I can't speak to internal parts. The back water reservoir is plastic.

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.

Yes the blades and heating elements and the insides of the pitcher are all stainless. The only plastics are where the motor is contained, the handle the top and controls.

Hello,No, I haven't noticed. Everything looks clean inside - no plastic, stainless steel only. Why would there be plastic there in the first place, anyway?

Hello, yes, it apprears the interior is stainless steel. The only plastic part is the lid. I love this travel mug. Please be aware the contents stay really HOT. I have to let the tea or coffee cool down before drinking from the mug. I really love this item.

The inside is completly steel. But the grid of the press that brews the coffee has some plastic. It is a great mug!
