Is the basket and stem also made with stainless steel?

It is!!! It was one of the "perks" when we considered this piece for our everyday brewer!

Yes, everything including the basket & stem is stainless. It's a really nice pot, you can't go wrong here!
623663
Yes and works like a charm. You can even take the basket and stem out and reheat the coffee in the pot.

No, it's stainless steel, like the rest of the perculator. Well made for the price !

The product description says "stainless steel" so I assume that's for the pot and the basket. The typical grade of stainless steel that is used for this type of product has approximately 18% chromium in it, so that's probably what you have here. Pure chrome would not be acceptable for this service - you need the nickel added as well, and this grade of stainless steel would also have about 8% nickel.

Hi,l had the same question. I bought the shower caddy. It's 100 percent stainless. I'm very happy.

The basket is zinc plated. Wald also makes baskets with a black finish. I am not sure what the difference is between them in terms of resistance to rust.

The deluxe model states that the inner basket is stainless also. I think the non-deluxe model has an aluminum strainer.

the one I purchased appears to have a brass stem with a stainless steel nut.

No. It's standard stainless steel. That must be some distortion in the photo.

I commented earlier that the basket, basket lid, and perk tube were stainless, which is correct. I also said it was 100% stainless, which is incorrect. Upon further investigation it appears that the cup at the bottom of the pot where the perk tube rests in is not made of stainless and may be made of aluminum. I have edited my first comment providing the additional information. Sorry for the bad info.

YES!!! as long as you remove the rubber 'o' ring from the bottom of the top section, the thing is stainless steel well built...No Problem

Yes, the basket and its lid are stainless steel. There is no plastic at all. Handle is wood and perc. is glass. Hope this helps! We love it- coffee is HOT!

I don't think it's stainless, but it is much heavier than the previous model. I am still happy with mine after nearly a year.

Yes, it's all metal other than the rubber grips at the top and bottom. It's really well made and heavier materials than I thought it would be. It's a darker bronze and completely adjustable/customizable as far as height and location of baskets. I bought this in comparison to my $120 one at The Container Store-this one was Better quality. Hope that helps.

yes except for the screw-on top which is plastic. The mechanics in the top (spring, etc.) appear to be stainless as well

Yes, the entire strainer is metal, and I would assume its all stainless steel. Nice item for the money, I would recommend it.

Yes, it is stainless steel, except for the controls that is plastic. It is really cool.

The top outer rim part is made of firm stainless steel but under that is covered with silicone. The pull part in the middle is sturdy too. Only the basket part with the holes is flexible silicone.
