is this thermal carafe glass-lined or stainless steel inside?

It is stainless steel. This is the best coffee maker I have ever had. No dripping; water goes into the holding area with ease. Easy to clean. Push one button after filling with water and ground coffee. Suggestion: add a little cinnamon to your coffee. it kicks it up just a bit in terms of flavor. To be 'green' unplug the coffee maker after use; who needs that device to tell you the time anyhow?

The thermal carafe does have a glass lining, but that aside, it's not the carafe that makes better coffee, it's the temperature of the machine that heats the water, the way the beans are ground and the quality of beans that you have. All that said, I prefer the carafe, because it doesn't continue to cook the coffee once it's brewed, resulting in the strong burnt/bitter taste that a regular carafe drip maker would.

My only experience with this carafe is the fact that I wanted a stainless steel liner. Once it arrived and I saw the liner was glass, I returned it...too bad because I really like this carafe. I did not notice any black dots at the bottom of the glass liner, so I cannot help you out answering your question.

the inside is ceramic, just the heating mechanism is metal. don't know what kind of metal, but think its stainless cause it does't rust.

Yes, the tube inside is made of stainless steel. It is a decent unit, but just mediocre quality for its very high price.

yes it is. The outside and interior lining is stainless steel. Very tough to dent but it can happen on a drop. There is no glass interior to break inside though, like the old fashioned Thermos bottles.

The interior of the carafe is stainless steel, but the interior of the coffee maker is plastic.

It is all stainless, including the inside. I like mine very much. It makes two cups of water.

The Bonavita is a thermal stainless steel carafe w/ a glass lining. This combination keeps the coffee warmer than just a stainless steel carafe.

the inside the inside is stainless steel. I specifically looked for mugs that were copper on the outside in stainless steel on the inside. better it feels like it keeps the drinks colder.

Yes, the interior of the unit is plastic. But the proper care works great. The interior of the carafe is stainless though.

The inside is plain stainless steel, highly polished. I think that is preferable to any coatings, as some coatings carry potential health risks. It also means it is remarkably easy to clean because you can use a bottle brush without worrying about tearing a coating. This bottle keeps things cold forever, and keeps them hot nearly as long. LIterally the best insulation I have ever experienced.

The interior is stainless steel. The only part of the thermos that is all plastic is the twist on inner cap. The outer cap has plastic on the inside of it, but the outer part is stainless steel.

No, the inside is not stainless. The same black as the lid and rim continues inside the mug as well. It works very well to keep cold, cold, and hot, hot.

The interior is glass. This is a very nice pot. I bought one of them to keep coffee hot and fresh and was very pleased that it kept it hot for the entire day. I liked it so well that I bought another one for hot water for making tea.

The inside is neither glass nor plastic it's stainless steel. The thermos keeps tea (and or whatever else you ma use it for) hot for an extremely long time. I love it.
