    We really could do with a proper way to investigate the microplastic impact of the normal Aeropress. I know testing in microwaves with plastic containers showed ridiculously higher plastic count compared to just cold storage and this is a big part of the problem with the Aeropress, it gets hot and that frees a lot more plastic in other tests. Would be nice to know how much of my brain is turned to plastic because of Aeropress brews over the years!

      There is an upper limit, though. You can only remove so much plastic from an Aeropress before it becomes unusable.

      I guess you could buy a new one and compare the weights.
