Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The nut that secures the heating element is made from aluminum. Other reviewers have stated the heating element is aluminum as well. Some reviewers have commented this coffee pot lends a metallic taste to the coffee. I too found the coffee to have a strange taste which got worse over time. After discovering the nut corroding at the bottom of the pot, I called the manufacturer. The manufacturer confirmed via email the nut was made from aluminum. See attached photo depicting the corroded aluminum nut at the bottom of the pot.
