Is the brew pot (not decanter) made of glass or plastic?

the brew steeping pot is made of plastic. Also, the handle you see in the photo slides on and isn't distinctly connected to the pot. Have had no issues with durability whatsoever so far!

The container that holds the water is plastic. The inside parts are plastic as well. You can get a permanent metal mesh filter to hold the coffee but all else is plastic. Makes great coffee and easy to use. Ellen S.

Melissa, I also bought this with the purpose of brewing kombucha. While I haven't tried it yet, I am 99% sure the entire spigot is plastic.

The outside is glass, the strainer inside is clear plastic and the lid is rubber or silicone covered. The inside sipper is plastic. Hope that helps

The pitcher itself is glass, the lid is plastic. It also make the best froth, can't tell it from the coffee houses.

It's made of plastic. It works well for beer and wine but not sure about chemicals.

There isn't any plastic in the kettle, other than a small mesh filter for the spout to block particulates from being poured out. The rest of the kettle interior is stainless steel, VERY durable and sturdy. It's a Cuisinart after all!

Mine is glass, it has nice plastic that protects the glass but the coffee is made in the glass part.

The knob itself is plastic but it connects on the inside to metal. There is no plastic on the inside where the handle connects. It looks to be a very sturdy, well made coffee pot. Be sure to open the lid without pulling on the knob. It will last for a long time if you do that.

The entire pot is stainless steel, but it has a stopper built into the cap that screws off in two pieces, which is a good thing to do before putting it into the dishwasher. I believe one piece of the stopper is plastic and the other piece is silicone. This is an assumption based on one of the pieces having melted at the bottom of my dishwasher, near the heat element, but silicone will melt at high temperatures and I think the manufacturer claims these parts are made of silicone, not plastic. The parts are very small and are not in contact with the coffee, they just help to hold in the heat.

The coffee maker's main body is a thin glass. Metal touching water, the plunger and base of the plunger touches water (I hope this is what you are referring to?) Underside of the lid is metal. It is a decent French-Press. Jon... is correct.. handle is plastic.

It's made of plastic. I was duped. I was looking for a 100% stainless steel coffee dripper. Instead, I got an over-priced plastic one with metal mesh.

yes, the basket is plastic. Our church has been using this coffee pot for many functions and the basket looks as new as day 1. Highly recommend.

The exterior is made of plastic. It is sturdy plastic. We have 3 different coffee machines on our counter top.They all seem to be made of similar type plastic. (Mr. Coffee, Nespresso & Keurig).

The holder o0f the paper filters is plastic; so is the cover of the glass pot; even the plate warmer is adjustable as far as temp; it has a special setting for 1-4 cup brewing

There isn't any plastic except for the little knobby handle on the lid, and of course, the pot's handle. The only thing I see that MIGHT be aluminum is the little halfround well that the "pipe" sits in.

No it's plastic!!! And I highly recommend you look at something else!! I bought the original coffee team plus which lasted over 12 years, then I bought this one when it quit heating and it failed to heat only after 2 years
