As aeropress user for many years, I don't think there's noticeable amount of microplastics coming from it, paper filter would also help with filtering out ANY debris. But, now microplastics are even in air you breathe, coming from anyone using artifical fibers near you.

- joecool1029 3y agoI think maybe microwaving the aeropress is a bad idea for microplastic concern, but using near boiling water from a kettle in them may not be as bad. Less local heating and no potential to have any parts climb over boiling point.
- yetihehe 3y agoIt's about how much microplastics is too much. After two years of use, I don't see a lot of plastic being eaten away comparing to a new one, so I don't think it's much of a deal.

- Reubachi 3y agoWhen people discuss microplastics, they are not necessarily ever meaning "visible plastic", but rather chemical offgassing.
