Plastic. For those of you trying to avoid it touching your coffee, I have done you some legwork! I called the manufacturer before ordering this product and they claimed there was no plastic on the plunger. Well, this is technically true as all plunging parts are stainless steel, but the lid liner which comes down over the spout and has an additional, unnecessary screen IS plastic. The good news is all you have to do is unscrew the top ball, take the lid off and pull out the whole plastic piece. Then reassemble and you have a TRULY plastic-free pot! For others who are saying it is hard to clean, like all french presses, you must unscrew the bottom portion of the plunger and run water over all the screens. After it is dry, reassemble. It is simple and not a big deal. I can't imagine trying to clean it altogether! And for others still who say it isn't a thermos, well, is that what you expected? This item keeps the coffee hot for about an hour. It's biggest plus is that it won't crack like the glass ones. If you are sick of breaking and replacing the glass carafes in your other french presses and you don't want plastic, this is a great little pot. I made my first pot of coffee in it this morning after removing the plastic top and it worked great, just like the one I bought in Italy 2 years ago for $30 more (still using that one, it is for my husband, and now, after breaking yet another glass one, I bought this one for me.)

I purchased this in January 2012... quite excited to have a french press that was insulated and that I expected to last. Just this week (at less than 4 months old) the handle fell off. Thank goodness it was not full of hot coffee!Best Deals for BonJour French Press Triomphe 8-Cup Double Wall Insulated Stainless
other reviewer was correct about dripping when pouring first cup. Also, handle is not welded on, but glued on. Mine come off in about nine months. I will use some j-b weld to put handle back in place, but it will be relegated to camping gear.Honest reviews on BonJour French Press Triomphe 8-Cup Double Wall Insulated Stainless
I purchased this French Press less than (5) months ago, and have followed the 'care instructions' to a 'T', but this didn't keep the handle weld from failing! Although both welds pulled away from the body of the carafe, the bottom weld came completely off as I was taking it from the counter to the table. My 1 y/o niece was under-foot at the time (aren't little ones always under-foot?) but the sudden break of the handle's weld cause piping hot coffee to spill on her!For the price I paid, I would expect more than (5) months use!
