โ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

Yeah, I'm aware. It's just not going to be a substantial source. Microwaving in cheap plastic containers is much higher heat for a longer time, and it's usually flimsy plastic designed to be thrown away. Those containers always warp as they're degrading. I've never seen an aeropress warp. The condition of the plastic does not seem to be effected in any noticeable way. I'm sure you do get a non-zero amount of microplastics, but our water has a non-zero amount of microplastics. We're well beyond the point of worrying about tiny amounts.
