Constructed of stainless steel and high strength durable plastics, it is VERY durable and dishwasher safe. Pour very hot, not boiling, water into the carafe. Stir coffee with a non-metallic utensil. Allow coffee to steep for four minutes. Hold the pot handle firmly with the spout turned away from you, then using just the weight of your hand, apply slight pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down into the pot.
