Is the filter stainless steel like the lid, or is it plastic?

I believe the last one I ordered had a plastic basket. I have a metal one, but only because I ordered it for another pot years ago when nubs on the plastic one broke off and it wouldn't stay put anymore. Although I prefer the metal one, the plastic ones I have had in the past have held up for years at a time before I had any issues. I will say - this IS the teapot to get. Brews great tea. Let it sit for 30 seconds after you push in the plunger and you can pour off really clean tea with hardly any sediment - that all settles and stays in the bottom of the pot due to the curve of the side. It's really great. I'm on my 4th one, I think - glass pot breakages due to external forces (that would be my family). I believe the last one I ordered had a plastic basket.

It depends. I have pots with steel lids and pots with plastic lids. if this is the 1.5 l, the lid is steel.

It is plastic. It does get stained from the tea. I am on my second pot and love it.

The filter is plastic but it seems pretty durable and has not gotten stained by tea leaves to date.

Same answer, if it is the 1.5 l pot, the filter is steel. I do have some pots with plastic.

As best as I can remember there is a stainless disc holding the filter screen. I don't have the unit with me at this time so can't be 100% sure but the rest of the unit is all stainless.

It is hard plastic with a removable rubber ring around it like other travel mug lids. The rubber ring makes it fit snuggly and it removes easily for cleaning.

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 inside of the lid is plastic and the plunger portion is also plastic, the rod that holds the plunger is stainless.

the inside is stainless steel, and the only plastic is the clip that holds the water filter in place, plastic buttons that hold the water gauge in place, and the very end of the overflow tube.

The company makes several models I have the stainless one.The body is metal. The inner valve (which is pushed down to push out air) and the lid are hard plastic.. And quoting from the Airscape Planetary web site "Designed of durable, BPA-Free, restaurant-grade stainless steel not only are the AirScape kitchen canisters non-toxic ..."

Hi Bill, good evening. As far as I can remember, it has no plastic part but the filter as I recall is aluminum. I hope this helps.

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

The container is glass but the lid is plastic. Looks like stainless steel but is not. However, I use it everyday and still looks and works great. I would advise to wash by hand and no dishwasher. I do not regret my purchase. I put hot water in the base that it sits in to warm the honey or it comes out to slow.

It is plastic. The cooler is a plastic cooler with a stainless steel exterior.

The tank is made of metal. The filter housings are all plastic. Hope that answers your question.

Both. Plastic inner liner, stainless outer liner, then the rubber around the 'grip' area. Has a typical turn lid that will leak if knocked over like so many other 'travel' mugs, but this one has the center spout that matches with the area the coffee exits the filter area in to.

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.

Lid is stainless, thin metal. We (a preschool) used the plastic ones for many years, having to replace them about every 18 months due to breakage. These have stood up well. My only complaint is the mechanism that holds the lid open. It is a little "switch" that stops the lid from closing. It works well, except that when it is in use, children try to close it, bending the lid. Foot petal is sturdy (main problem on plastic ones)

It's plastic but my husband LOVED it! He is thrilled with the pressure. He hasn't even taken the filter off. There was no strong smell coming from it like some of the other folks mentioned.

The inside of the lid is plastic. The rest of the inside is stainless steel.
