Metal. The only plastic is the lid. So far very durable. I use it everyday.

It's Plastic, but it did such a poor job of grinding _ I got rid of it.... couldn't even give it away

Metal. So far I have only ground game meat (wild pig, weighing about 180 lb.). Had to remove the "silver skin" first or the machine would jam in less than one minute. Ground meat from the neck and rump. Grinder worked fine once the silver skin was removed - a lot of work.

We've had the grinder for quite a while and find it's no problem keeping it clean. The stainless exterior (other than the bean feed top and grounds container, both plastic) is great. No complaints, meets our needs perfectly.

Gears are all metal. Commercial grinder very well built. I got the foot control attachment with mine leaves hands free for handling meat. U will love it

The grinding element is steel, however the case etc is plastic. In regards to the other models of grinder I don't know how it compares. I can state that the grinder works very well for our purposes, and if it disappeared I'd buy it again. Only complaint is that it doesn't grind fine enough for Turkish coffee. FWIW

It is metal. It's a nice little sander not a lot of HP, good for small work.

I am not home right now to verify. However, I believe its metal internals covered with plastic.

The window part where you see the salt and pepper is acrylic / plastic. The actual grinding mechanism is ceramic and the silver parts are metal. This is the second one I've ordered - works really well. Had the first one for 5-6 years. Hope that helps -

it is titanium coated aluminum. As someone said before a grinder made of pure titanium would cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

The interior is plastic but the bottom plate is stainless steel. Overall this device works very well. We have had an older model which has worked fine for over 5 years...

The handle is plastic, but the crank arm is metal. The retaining mechanism for the grinding wheels have some plastic components, but overall are of excellent quality. If you are worried about wear and tear, there are some inexpensive replacement parts on offer from the manufacturer.

Mr. Teacher, the interior base and about one inch up the sides is all stainless steel like the blade. Above that is the same thick plastic that makes up the exterior body of the grinder: it's all one piece. I haven't had my unit long, and use it for spices, nuts, and grains and not coffee beans, but I haven't had any of the issues you've described, and mine is white. I owned a Krups coffee grinder years ago: loved it then and understand that it is still operating since I lost it in my divorce settlement lol. Hope that helps!

The inside of this grinder is a metal bowl in to which the grinder blade spins.

The cutting edge grinders are metal, there does appear to be a plastic washer. My wife says it is not perfect, but pretty good. This makes it a 7 or 8 out of a possible 10.

Hi Mark....I bought but do not recommend this grinder. It is plastic, very light weight, and I cannot get it to do the extra fine grind. I installed as per the manual, and only later found the yellow paper advising to ignore the directions, as this could break a piece of the plastic. Unfortunately I only saw this after the small plastic piece broke. As Amazon gets this from another supplier, they do not stand behind this product. I have the Breville burr grinder and love it!
