Does it have plastic or steel burrs?

Steel, but they frequently bound up and the beans would 'bridge" and cause the grind to be less than normal, but you didn't know how much less. Threw it out after cleaning one too many times.

Plastic handle with metal punch. I've pried in things with it and it's held up. I wouldn't recommend doing that though since it isn't designed for it.

we purchased the black unit, but I'm reasonably sure the stainless is not mock. Regardless I have owned several burr grinders and for the money, this is the best I've used.

Exterior shell seems to be a hard plastic. "post" going through the grinder to the grinding mechanism and the grinding mechanism is metal as far as I can determine.

it has plastic wheels. very easy to fill, and very easy to empty. You won't go wrong.

Yes, it comes with Mahlkonig ceramic burrs. Optionally, you can buy Mahlkonig steel burrs for it through Baratza. The steel burrs will not grind fine enough for espresso, but they are better suited to the coarser grinds used in manual brewing, and will improve flavor in the cup for that use. The steel last about half as long as the ceramic.

Hello Nikola, the Kuissential coffee grinder uses a Conical Burr made from strong ceramic. Hope this helps! Alex - Team Kuissential

I wish that it were. No, this is a circular grinding stone and steel cutters. It does a decent job with the different grinds but is NOT for the burr grinder purist.

Mine is well made with stainless. I would assume the brass one would be brass, not plastic.

It has a conical burr that is some kind of grey stone. Mine cracked at a little part of the burr (where it attaches to the 'drive shaft') and a little flake broke off and got caught in the grind. I fished it out and it works fine. You can set the grind however you want, I do coarse and the mechanism locks in place so the grind is consistent. Hope his help!

The auger screw is stainless, the blade is stainless and the round disc that the meat goes thru at the end is metal (not sure what material). I don't see any plastic gears at all. I have now ground about 15 batchs of chicken legs (for dog food) and it is absolutely wonderful. One time I didn't screw the ring that holds the blade and plate in tight enough, and I thought for a minute the machine was not good, but it was operator error. I screwed that piece on tight and it was great. I truly love this machine. Good luck.

The only thing that is plastic on this unit is the adjustment knob, the rest is low grade steel. Not a bad roller for the price and for flat stock only. 1/4 Square will not fit in the groove.

the only thing I can tell you is that I had a plastic one before I replaced with the cast iron andit lasted almost 10 years. Both worked well.

cutter and plate with holes are magnetic and therefore appear to be regular steel (not stainless)

It's all plastic, except the blades are steel or metal. Either way it works fine
