    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.
