Something this study has me concerned about is that regular piping hot cup of coffee served in a plastic cup. I didn’t see it in the plastic list, bit I’m near certain it’s not good for EDC and plastic ingestion
- tonymet 2y agoif I'm paying for coffee at a coffee shop and they don't have a ceramic mug, i cancel my order. I'd rather drink wine out of a solo cup
- nikolay 2y agoI'm doing the same - both for health and taste reasons. Can't imagine drinking coffee in those waxed-paper cups that leaches massively into the coffee - you can even see the wax floating on top! I'm not sure how these ever got approved for hot liquids!
- tonymet 2y agothey can't possibly be. One thing I appreciate about PlasticList and similar projects is that they are exposing how flimsy and preposterous most of our food safety protocols actually are.
- idbehold 2y agoYou may be disturbed to find out how much plastic is in contact with boiling hot water in your typical automatic drip coffee brewer. I was recently trying to find one without plastic to replace the $25 all black plastic one I've had for years. The only one I could find without any plastic was one of those all metal Bunn ones you see at diners. It was more than $400! And even that still required you to purchase a separate all metal basket as the one that comes with it was plastic. And that coffee maker doesn't really make "good tasting" coffee. Any premium "good tasting" drip coffee maker will have plastic, and probably black plastic at that.
- tonymet 2y agosure , but they are different plastics , with different tolerances, levels of quality control, etc
