The piece that prevents the metal filter from sliding up the stem of the press, is it made of metal or plastic?

Not sure I understand which part you are asking about. It is of good quality. There is some heavy plastic - the handle, top and a very small chunk on the stem.

If I understand your question then it is plastic. The piece and the end of the metal rod, right? I have to admit, since I bought it I bought a second for work, it is the best quality press I have owned. Let me know if you have any other qs

It is metal, feels light like aluminum but is most likely some sort of pot metal. It is sturdy. There is a thin foamed protector taped to each half ( clam shell ) of the clamp. It's not quite canon quality but it is good quality, much cheaper then a canon mount if you can find one. I've been happy with it. I'll try to post a couple of pictures.

just checked my basket... looks like very fine mesh not made out of any metal... very flexible, it's the best for coffee pot, no need for paper filter.

The holding tank for the water is metal. The enclosures for the filters are plastic.

It's metal. It is very nicely made & works just perfectly for me. I roll it from under the cupboard in the AM when I make coffee, and roll it back under when I am finished.

I recently purchased this machine and can tell you that the filter holder is a very sturdy clear plastic. Hope this helps !

It is made of plastic, nylon and metal. There's no problem with metal parts. This is a great pop filter.

the body is made of a very sturdy plastic and the filters (2) are Stainless steel encased in plastic rings nestled together in a press fit in the base of the coffee maker . if you don't mind a very small amount of very fine coffee grounds you can remove the 2nd filter and eliminate having to periodically to remove the filters for cleaning

It's made of plastic. I was duped. I was looking for a 100% stainless steel coffee dripper. Instead, I got an over-priced plastic one with metal mesh.

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.

Hello. The whole thing is made of plastic, with the exception of the metal blade. It works quite well.

I received mine today, IT IS METAL. Not sure why anyone says it's plastic or nylon, but I can confirm it is not. The black structure is made from plastic, but the filter itself is made from stainless steel.

This is not the one I have. Mine has plastic lid and base, but interior "works" of the Press are metal.

It appears to be metal or a very very heavy grade plastic. So far it has worked very well for me. I'm not disappointed in this purchase.

Tim, the filter is real thick, but you can push it down enough to force the plastic piece with the "catches" to close enough to hold the metal filter in place. As an alternative you might be able to get some fine sandpaper in there and sand down the plastic for a little more clearance... Personally, I went back to paper because I found the metal filter just too much hassle. I'll keep it in case I run out of paper filters. RON.

Metal. Some of the other parts are plastic and it helps with keeping the lens weight down. Excellent lens.
