First of all, there's hundreds of different chemical compositions for "plastic", so if you're not looking into the specific composition, you're already doing yourself a disservice.
This is almost as bad as the people who see "BPA-free" or "organic" and call it a day.
Secondly, just because it's stainless steel or ceramic doesn't necessarily make it better. Ceramic often has trace heavy metals in it, even when it's rated "food safe". And stainless (which often isn't actually stainless) usually comes with some kind of PTFE or similar coating to avoid the metallic taste.
If you're avoiding plastic for ecological reasons, that's one thing and good on you for trying, but if it's for health reasons, look into the composition before passing judgment.
This uses something in the polyester family and also something called Tritan, both of which are rated for at least double the heat you should be making coffee at.
Unless of course you really like that 400 degree McDonald's burnt roast...
