A new standard in coffee flavor. Crafted from durable double wall stainless steel with a large 12oz capacity, our unique 3-in-1 brew method speeds up extraction for less bitterness and a smoother, more full-bodied cup.
It’s all just personal preference, but yes, many people do think it’s the best way to brew coffee. Some people think it gives you microplastics, but it can’t be substantial. If it were substantial you’d see your aeropress wearing away. Washing after your done should keep the amount low, if it were measurable at all.
You don’t need to see wear marks. Microwaving food in plastic containers is enough to cause contamination. Likely the same when filling with hot water; although, haven’t seen studies specifically focused on that, I don’t think the thicker walls will do much to limit contamination. This is also not considering the plunger.
Yeah, I’m aware. It’s just not going to be a substantial source. Microwaving in cheap plastic containers is much higher heat for a longer time, and it’s usually flimsy plastic designed to be thrown away. Those containers always warp as they’re degrading. I’ve never seen an aeropress warp. The condition of the plastic does not seem to be effected in any noticeable way. I’m sure you do get a non-zero amount of microplastics, but our water has a non-zero amount of microplastics. We’re well beyond the point of worrying about tiny amounts.

Now I wonder in what kind of packaging these people buy their coffee. And how they filter their water…
Exactly. People want to be afraid. That’s what the internet is good at.
If aero press gave anyone microplastics, which no one even knows what that is, then they would wear out. I’ve had one in daily use for 15 years.
Microplastics are Reddit fear.
