how much BPA can leech from constant usage of aeropress? are we talking about miniscule amounts here?


They don't have BPA, that's the marketing and it is true. But that doesn't mean that other estrogenic chemicals are not leaching, or that the non-estrogenic chemicals that leach are safe to ingest everyday for a lifetime.


Right, the rubber gasket worries me with the boiling water. I also had to stop using sous vide machine because silicone bags leech chemicals above a certain temp. I was mortified when my friends mentioned they use ziploc bags in the Sous vide baths.


"Miniscule amounts" is a very confusing term in situations where even one part per million or billion matters and has a negative effect.
