BPA-free plastic. Now remember, you are paying around $15.00 for this item. The glass is high quality but thin. The plastic can take a lot of heat but warps (not the handle). Its a great deal.

Mine seens to be the same material of the filter rim. Touched with a knife and feels like metal.

The basket is metal. The center post is plastic that's coated to look like metal. Overall, it appears rather flimsy however I've had one for about a year and it still looks good and works perfectly.

Agreed; it's clear glass, silver top, with white sea salt. I also filled with Himalayan coarse, pink sea salt for salt mills.I use it a lot, works well; I like it and can recommend it.

It uses paper filters in a cone basket but, you can get reusable wire basket like I did. Get one at Bed, Bath, and beyond. It works fine!

I use the ceramic filters. At the time they said the red cross and unicef used them. That was good enough for me. I also read a review that said the stem on the black filter broke easy. I don't know if that was true, but I didn't have the money to try it to find out. I prefer tried and true. I LOVE my Berkey with the ceramic filters and they are very easy to clean. One of the best investments I've made for me and my family.

The basket is a white nylon mesh. Very easy to clean. I LOVE this coffee pot, makes a great cup of coffee or tea!

Yep plastic where the filter is. There's a removable plastic basket and then the well it sits in is plastic.

The ceramic filter that I purchased from Amazon came with the filter sock and a spigot (spout). Be very careful when handling or installing the filter. It's somewhat fragile and may break if pressure is placed on it. Don't torque it!When installing, turn the filter by the blue band at the base.

The entire assembly is 100 per cent stainless steel except for the plastic cap and the handle. The filter basket is very well made. I'm using standard Folgers medium roast and no grounds get past this filter.

just checked my basket... looks like very fine mesh not made out of any metal... very flexible, it's the best for coffee pot, no need for paper filter.

I recently purchased this machine and can tell you that the filter holder is a very sturdy clear plastic. Hope this helps !

The "stem", if I understand your question, is made of plastic, as is the entire internal mechanism. The part that looks clear is glass, but is protected by the silver plastic top, cap, and shell.

Just cardboard frames. Very thin metal wires cross and recross the filter, and provide some minor support. Cardboard frame is fairly strong, does not bend easily.
