Not 100% stainless steel, contains aluminum parts in tub.
This was my first coffee percolator (first bought in December 2012) And it worked great until it died in December of 2016. The reason I purchased this unit again was because of the original reviews about no aluminum inside the tub. Second one arrived with an aluminum nut at the bottom of the tub, did not like that but had no choice and I decided to run with it. Now it’s making loud noises while keeping the coffee hot so from past experience I decided to buy another unit (not this brand) as a back up just in case this one failed. After reading the reviews on this unit again I noticed more and more people are concerned with the aluminum as I was and still am. Just bought a Hamilton Beach 40616 percolator that is supposed to be 100% stainless steel on the inside from Amazon. If Presto fixes these units and makes them last maybe 5 years or so and gets rid of the aluminum inside the tub I will purchase them again but for now I’m out.
