A:AnswerThe silver on the Mr. Coffeemaker seems to be plastic, the silver on the coffee pot is metal. It makes good coffee, enough for two mugs. I am pleased with my purchase, I bought it on sale.
A:AnswerThe filter basket has a smaller diameter than any other coffee maker I’ve had before - even normal 1-4 cup coffee filters get squished at the top as you place them in it. I’d say if your filter just fits a normal 1-5 cup coffee maker, it’s probably not going to fit this.
