Nearly every drip coffee maker has a plastic heating tank and all have plastic pipes to bring hot water to the coffee grounds. I am concerned that many people are drinking plastic along with their coffee – and most plastics are toxic. I have contacted several of the most popular manufacturers – none uses stainless steel for delivery pipes and only a few pots have a stainless steel tank. Considering how many people use these drip coffee makers, it seems a serious public health concern.
What coffee maker does not use plastic tanks and pipes so that we don’t get plastic in our coffee?
