What is the straw made of? (plastic or stainless steel?)

It's plastic. A lot of people buy the stainless steel straws separately (as did I) but I think the original straw is just fine.

It is plastic. I ordered the stainless steel straws to go with it. This cup is amazing. It keeps your drinks cold for a lot longer than the plastic cups.

These straws are silver color stainless steel . I think they are a very good value. I recommend buying pipe cleaners or a small bottle brush to clean them.

Burn potential: The straws are made of steel so they will quickly reach the temperature of the liquid they are in. There's no insulation so there is the possibility to get burned but its not very likely because these straws help hot drinks cool down just like a metal spoon would. Toxic exposure: Since the straws are made of stainless steel they will not release any phalates or other chemicals into your warm or hot drinks. Therfore, plastic straws are much more dangerous in this regard. There's a much greater potential for danger when using these straws with cold drinks because these straws are fairly slender and do not change shape or collapse easily. If you find yourself rushed for time in the morning trying to suck down a frosty smoothie that is incredibly thick, your brain could possibly implode.

The reservoir where the coffee sits is stainless steel. The whole top is plastic though. FWIW I don't taste any plastic.

The black parts are plastic but the rest is stainless steel. Very nicely made, I recommend it!

I studied the spigot with my magnifying glass and there is not an indication of what kind of plastic is used. the Spigot is metal. I have had mine for a month and use the Spigot 20 times a day. again the spigot per se is metal not plastic. I have no problems with the spigot and use it at least 20 times a day.

Plastic, but it is constructed well. I use it to dispense turbine to sugar for coffee and have been satisfied with this product.

I believe the lid and hand grip are made of silicone. I always drink with a silicone straw because straws are healthier for your teeth.

The entire lid is stainless steel. The only plastic type material is the handle you see in black and the base. The water never comes in contact with any plastic. This is a great kettle!

I'm not sure, to tell you the truth and I don't have the product with me to answer definitively. I'd take the majority's word for it that it's plastic. I will say that I have two of these and while they don't get extremely heavy use, they haven't broken yet. They do leak while using (could be I need more plumbers' tape on the threads tho').

Thank you for your quick response! I was looking for something other than plastic to drink my green smoothies and more importantly my flavored water with my doTERRA Essential Oils. Some of the oils you can't put in plastic containers or use plastic straws. After reading the bad flavor reviews on the stainless steel straws, I decided to try the glass ones! I too am a straw person. Not sure how I have never heard of glass straws before! Can't wait to get some! Thanks again for your reply!

It's plastic....I wasn't happy with this scoop. Ended up getting the big metal scoop they sell at Amazon, much happier with that one.

I currently own the bent straw version by the same company and so I will share my experience. They are made of stainless steel. Take any stainless steel item you have around the house and place it in hot water to gauge the heat level. Metal conducts heat and cold. They in essence become the temperature of the drink you place them into. I use mine all the time for both hot and cold drinks but when I use it in hot drinks I let the drink cool down a bit before I drink. It doesn't cause a problem for me but you do have to exercise a bit of patience and common sense.

Made out of plastic. This is an excellent refrigerator bottle, perfect for iced tea.

Plastic but seems to be high-quality.. Had it for a while now about ready to order another one for my tea.

Plastic. Very durable. I use a narrow bottle brush to wash out the previous brew. Maintains a good taste when clean.

Plastic. But it wears very well. Our water corrodes metal, so it's been better for us
