I read an article about plastic leaching into the water we drink and that it can cause sickness.
I had been brewing my coffee in one of those big plastic things. I put the water in the top, it goes through the grounds and is stored in a plastic reservoir. So, I bought a stainless steel percolator for the top of the stove. I haven't got the ratio of water to grounds right yet and the timing might be off. I shall experiment some more. I think it tastes better than the plastic made coffee, but so far, it has been too strong. I drink it black most of the time.
