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.
I think the idea is that adding boiling water to something made of plastic probably leaches chemicals.
As far as Tupperware and coffee flasks go, yes. This is also a concern.
There’s plenty more research to do about microplastics. I’m sure the plastic aeropress is still significantly better than using soft plastic disposable coffee pods. I’m not a scientist or doctor though so don’t take my word for it.
Did someone test the aeropress and find lots of microplastics?
A few people mentioned it here.
If its a concern, aren’t (e.g.) tupperware and coffee flasks too?
Micro plastics are a concern with all plastic food containers, especially when you’re heating something in them.
It’s long been a recommendation to not reheat leftovers in plastic
If you instead use glass or stainless, you don’t have to worry about it. Or in theory they last longer

of course not. People read it on Reddit.
Yes, all plastic food service items are of concern.
*Though the studies on harder plastics have been focused on plasticizers leeching into the food or liquid.
There are no ‘microplastics’ in aero press.
