Is the inserted infuser part glass or plastic? I see different answers on Amazon. Thx

Mine was plastic. The glass outer shell and the glass part of the lid both cracked within the first few weeks I had it. Although I liked the product, I probably would not buy it again. I would look for an option less likely to break.

The first one I ordered a couple months ago was in plastic. The second one I ordered a few weeks ago came in glass. Getting ready to order the tie breaker and will let you know!

I am not really sure, but you can remove it easily. It just snaps in place. I looked at the box and the info sheet inside, there is not any info about the plastic parts. This tea maker works great. I recommended it to other people that ended up purchasing this tea maker.

The inside is plastic. I bought it for my brother and he loves everything about it (the cup, not the plastic).

The outside is glass, the strainer inside is clear plastic and the lid is rubber or silicone covered. The inside sipper is plastic. Hope that helps

Hi Miri. The clear part is plastic. But it looks like glass. I'm really happy with mine. It is small though, a couple of cm bigger then a coke can. Hope this helps.

No, but in comparing photos they seem comparable; and it is a fine infuser. I use mine for coffee as well, and only the finest of particles slip through; but not much. I like it because it's all stainless. If you don't mind plastic in really hot water, some people prefer the Finum brewing basket. If they made theirs in stainless I'd consider it.

There is a metal insert to support the lid and to hold the infuser basket. You can remove the infuser without removing the insert.

The lid and infuser are separate, but the lid is designed to fit inside the infuser. Removing the infuser makes the lid loose fitting requiring a 2 hand pour

Plastic. I guess this is the reason you shouldn't put it in the dishwasher, which is one negative about it; my house is old and the kitchen is not ultra modern with deep sinks and pullout spigots, so the container is too tall to set under the faucet and fill with water without causing back-flow into the line. I find the container hard to clean or soak. I had the 1980 vita mix that was smaller and metal container -- it went into the dishwasher fine; I wish they'd bring that back!

This cup is BPA free plastic. I have it and I love it. It fits pretty well in the cup holder in my car and keeps the tea warm for a good while. It doesn't get too hot to hold like glass would. It stays a comfortable warm that is wonderful in cold temperatures. I would look at the Tao of Tea site to see if they have a glass one there for you. I get most of my teas from them and have gotten 4 of 5 tea pots from them as well. I hope this helps.

I would say the glass is fairly thick. Thats a good thing for me. yes, the lid can be used w/o the infuser.

it seems like it's glass......it's definitely not plastic. it works great and there's no issues with mine at all. I'm very happy with it.

the inside is plastic and let me tell u this. I love my bubba cup it keeps my drink really hot for a long time or even cold for a long time. I got mine at walmart though so not sure if this one is going to be the same or not.

I believe it is plastic (I bought a glass replacement when I bought the unit). Make sure you get the version with the real handle. I got the one with a loop that swings up and it's a problem because the whole thing gets really hot and it takes two gloved hands to pour from the hot thing into your cup (one to hold the weight from the top, other to tip it).

There is no plastic at all - even the top of the plunger is stainless steel! This is very high quality, as is the teapot with strainer also available from Frieling.

the infuser is glass but I haven't used it as I boil my tea on the stove, I have not tried in the microwave also, sorry I am not too helpful
