Question: What is the filter basket and stem made of? Thanks
Document: I had an old Pyrex all glass percolator for years. Once the glass basket broke I could not find replacements. This percolator makes excellent coffee!! I always use a paper filter found in any grocery store (as I did with my other one)  so you can use any ground coffee. Just make sure you get the "wrap around style" filter and it says made for percolators. I also have gas stove and use a medium low flame for the smoothest tasting coffee.
The perc is good. It makes a good cup of coffee. BUT, the base of the stem in the coffee holder is too wide at the base. This means the standard available paper filter has to be torn to be pushed down flat. So the the outer ring of holes aren't covered and some grinds drop into the pot.
Stovetop coffee pots are hard to find on the shelve these days. The plastic stem and basket are flimsy though.
this glass coffee pot would be fine except, the stem on the top of the basket is way too short wery hard to hold.i can see no reason for it to be that way, it dosen't make sense to me. Its ok otherwise.
Fold them in half 3 times and clip the point off. Hole fits nicely. You need to dampen the filter and stick it to the sides of the basket before adding the coffee, however, or it collapses.8)  Unfortunately, this morning I checked on the perking progress and noticed there was hot coffee dripping out of the bottom of the pot.
Wanted to watch my coffee perc - fun! Bad idea, the glass is great, but the stem, basket, and lid are all plastic. The very first brew caused the plastic lid to warp and the coffee blew out of the space. Why not make these parts aluminum like any other percolator?? ?Lame and cheap thinking.
These percolators are delicate. I left one on the stovetop too long and it cracked, my fault. The second one shattered in the sink. They look really nice but are not for the &#34;utilitarian types&#34; like me. The basket and stem are plastic. I finally had to go with an all stainless model found elsewhere on this site.
percolator makes a nice brew. the glass container is nice but the percolation setup is made up of plastic, already noticed some warping in the stem. it a shame they don't use aluminum with silicone feet or something like that. it's nice being able to see the coffee being made versus a metal or ceramic where all you can see is the top.
I have been using percolators while camping for over 35 years and this one is by far the best. It is the only one I have ever had that you can see the coffee as it is made. Not try to judge it by looking at the little glass at the top. You can use a regular drip coffee filter with it if you make a cross slice in the bottom of a filter, dampened it a little and just fit it into the coffee holder.
Following the directions, I  set my gas flame to medium and it turned out great in a short time. The coffee was smooth, clean, and tasted GREAT. The plastic basket and top is not a problem either, it's not flimsy and thin. I'll never go back to an electric pot again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND this one.Suggest: 1- Using the filter assured the grounds did not fall into the pot from the basket.
Answer: BPA-free plastic. Now remember, you are paying around $15.00 for this item. The glass is high quality but thin. The plastic can take a lot of heat but warps (not the handle). Its a great deal.
