Is there any plastic in the construction of this press?

Yes, the top is stainless steel covered plastic. But, the plastic is well supported by the stainless steel, so it shouldn't lessen longevity. I like this little French press-perfect for a single cup.

No plastic inside. However, I had several other issues with this coffee maker, but it all comes down to very bad tasting coffee. I do not think the water was hot enough. Coffee was always bitter.

The press body, the end caps, the handle and the dies are aluminum. The insert at the top is plastic (the part that fits inside the top ring that the lever attaches to) as is the foot at the bottom that presses against the dough. Both are pretty sturdy.

It has plastic components, but is very sturdy. I've had no issues. It's a great tripod for the price.

No plastics or aluminum in this coffeepot. I do wish it had a little glass thingy on the top so I could see the coffee perk.

No. The filter basket assembly is partly plastic with a very fine metal mesh. The seal on the press feels like silicone. Other than discoloration, I have not had any problems with it or think it is deteriorating in any way.

There is no plastic in the frame. The connectors are very easy to assemble. Be warned! It says takes it two people to assemble, they are not joking!I'll answer any questions. I just wish I had room for more.

Yes its plastic. No paper and not (as far as I can tell) recycleable in any way or form.

I'm not an expert on steels, however the press appears to be 100% solid stainless. I've used it quite a bit and it is very sturdy. I love it. Roger

Yes there are no plastic parts of any kind. Not sure what part exactly you are referring to though. The bottom is definitely steel and I think everything is extruded aluminum except the actual ball and stem.Hope this helps.

Yes there are plastic parts in it. As for BPA Free, I'm not a chemist. There are no Plastic type symbols on it.

There is NO teflon in the press. The press is all stainless steel and is easy to clean. This is a high quality press and works well. It costs a bit more than others, but you get what you pay for.

No. Hard plastic. Allowed the camera pushbutton to be inadvertently activated and I would get a few photos of nothing.

The clear tank on top is plastic as is the press inside of it. There is a silicone gasket and a silicone distribution plate. Also the handle of the grounds holder grip is plastic. All the rest is metal.

1)Not sure if it is bpa free, but it doesn't matter since you wouldn't be applying heat to the press. 2) You certainly wouldn't want to put the press in the dishwasher since it washes off easily with soap and water. I'd worry that the metal would rust.

Plastic. That aside this is the best "little" drill drill press I have owned. I don't do heavy drilling on a bench model. I would buy it again.

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.
