First plastic-free coffee maker (puresteelco.com)

I'd first like to see links to research about how much plastic is in coffee in general, and how it impacts health.


there was a thing on hacker news a couple of months ago by a group that measures that... the TLDR is that hot liquids or hot materials against plastic during production does increase micro plastics in food, which makes sense. Obv, we still don't have a full understanding of the health implications.

also, I think the company here is being generous to themselves... mocha pots, and pretty much all pour overs are all plastic-free... they really aren't the first to do plastic-free


Is there a rule against posting AI slop? Fake photos and web copy. No actual device or working prototype. No details or photos on internal mechanisms. And anyone who knows anything about drip machines would know an insulated carafe is greatly preferred over an active re-heating element.


So uh, the plug and wires are coated in wood? Cloth?
