Is the filter stainless steel of polycarbonate plastic?

This model is stainless but always check the description because there are teapots of similar design by the same company with other filters. Also check based on size. Perhaps smaller pots in one line could have one basket and larger pots another. The larger Assam pots, however, have stainless steel baskets.

It is not solid plastic though it does have some plastic to help the gold mesh to keep its shape. I will add that, for me this filter was a disappointment, when making a largeand /or strong batch of coffee it's not deep enough for a lot of coffee grounds and they over flow into pot.

The working parts are all stainless steel, but of course the base and handle will be of a plastic material but nothing that comes into contact with the water contents. At the back of the kettle there is a clear plastic window that shows the amount of water in the kettle. This appears to be a small reservoir and again does not appear to be part of the main water containment area. The filter inside is of a high density nylon mesh. The lid exterior is plastic but the lid interior appears to be stainless steel.Hope that helps.

The filter is an attached stainless steel filter that is intended for reuse.

I opted for this after deciding to avoid plastic kettles...There are a couple of tiny plastic rivets inside the kettle body and a detachable plastic filter, but otherwise the kettle body appears to be all stainless steel.

I don't remember any of it being stainless unless perhaps the cowling (where you can see the label attached). Basked and reamer were plastic. I don't have it around any more; got rid of it because of the noise.

Recently purchased this product and the filter and strainer are stainless steal. The handle, top cover, and black siding around the side are all plastic materials.

No, it is polycarbonate plastic. But the buttons are metal. It is a very nice case.

KDavies, the filter looks to be some sort of nylon weave, the frame for the filter is a strong, dense, high quality plastic. I have seen people get very upset by this, but my familiarity with plastics used in the medical and scientific fields gives me reason to feel it is not a problem. I have been using mine for years with no apparent degradation of the plastics involved, no change to the surface from a hard, glossy plastic.

I checked the instructions that came with the filter and could not find anything that stated the plastic caps were BPA free. You may want to contact the manufacturer at forever@peani.com. I didn't see anything on their website either (forever.peani.com).

The material is polycarbonate, it is not BPA free, in fact BPA is the main building block of polycarbonate. The information for this item on Amazon.com is incorrect.

Yes, the filter is made of 100% 316 grade stainless steel. We don't use any bonding material in the welds, so there's only stainless steel there.

Yes, it is stainless steel. No plastic. Has a rubber gasket. No leaks. Keep the lid on tight and the liquid stays ice cold inside. I love it.

According to the manufacturer's spec sheet, it is all stainless steel, in and out, including the filter basket and perk tube.

Not quite sure what the problem is: Yes, there are three parts to the "filter" which disassemble for cleaning purposes, but should be rethreaded together before using. I'm not aware of any plastic inside the unit.

The Capresso a la Carte filter material is plastic and silicone. Have a good day!
