What’s the problem with pressure+heat? In these kinds or pressures and temperatures, the plastic appears to be strong enough to handle it well enough.
it's strong enough to, but i don't trust plastic not to leach out nasties into my coffee in those conditions, plus it seems to retain grossness :(
For what its worth, I think aeropress uses plastic that's less bad, if that's possible (I believe this consideration went into the design).
Still, I'm with you on this. It's really hard to get away from plastic though. Even in relatively high end drip machines, the internals of most espresso makers, etc.
i super agree, french press or moka is my target, i just miss the flavor the pressure creates. i'll figure it out one day!
i think the tritan plastic they're using in the new models will be interesting, def seems less porous and likely to hang onto bad flavors x_x
Yeah.. you can always just... clean it... unflavored denture / retainer/ mouth guard cleaning tablets or .... actual coffee cleaning solution (also available in tablet form) should remove most or all of funk....
:0.......... okay i can def try that, yea!!!
