Wow, had no idea. $150 / ships in February. I hate that I might grab it at that price. https://aeropress.com/products/aeropress-coffee-maker-premium https://aer

What's wrong with the Tritan one instead?
- MengerSponge 2y ago
  Tritan is still plastic. It's BPA free, but there are lots of other estrogenic compounds in the world.
  - FirmwareBurner 2y ago
    What issues does Tritan have? Tritan is used in the medical industry for passing blood and other fluids safely without contamination. HN seems to have huge unfounded FUD around anything plastic related even when there's no scientific evidence.
    - MengerSponge 2y ago
      Tritan uses TPP, which may be as bad as BPA? Toxicological evidence takes a long time to acquire. By it's very nature it's a lagging indicator. Remember when everybody freaked out about BPAs? That's because good studies showed the accumulation of those compounds in the body, and the potential health issues it could drive. And what about now that we have all these BPA free plastics? Most of them have replaced the BPA with other compounds. They haven't been studied, so there isn't evidence against them. But the absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Finally: what, in their long and storied history, has led you to believe that 3M, DuPont, or Eastman are acting in the best interest of your health? Because their incentive structure favors wealth creation, not population health.

        >Tritan uses TPP, which may be as bad as BPA That's not exactly relevant. Relevant is if it leaks from the plastic into liquids or not. >what, in their long and storied history, has led you to believe that 3M, DuPont, or Eastman are acting in the best interest of your health? I don't. That's why we have EPA and FDA.
