“I would not brew the coffee in a coffee pot like this because of all the condensation in here from the hot water that could lead to leeching of components from the plastic hormone disrupting components from the plastic into your coffee”
“As a side note, I do want to mention that many traditional paper drip coffee machines do run hot water through plastic. In other words, you know, hot water going to plastic will accelerate the release of microplastics into your beverage as well as their plastic associated chemicals.”
