Scroll down to the Q&A.
If you're worried about plastic, then get a Hario porcelain, or something that's all-steel. Or the glass Hario models...the handle's probably plastic on these, but it's never in contact with the water.
Personally I think this is the worst pourover rig out there. The point, as I understand, of a pourover rig is that the water's in constant motion, and that is part of the extraction. Block the flow? Defeats the purpose. You'd get press-pot coffee that's run through a filter after brewing. Not the same thing. And it's adding meaningless complexity, IMO.

CraigLewisThe handle is porcelain actually. The
This is not meant to be a "pour over". It's a bit of a hybrid between pour over and French Press with an immersion period. You can get more water contact with the immersion if that is your thing, which allows for greater extraction.

lamkevinpTo me, it's trying to present itself as pour over, and I agree, it's really not. Any immersion-steep period is going to move quickly into immersion characteristics. So, ok, if you want an immersion approach that's easy to use with a mug, and with the clean-up ease and cleaner cup of a paper filter, then maybe this is a good approach. I'm pretty strongly averse to what looks like a move to capitalize on the popularity of pour over by making this look like it's one.
