Manufacturers are putting more and more plastic into things to cut costs it seems.

My favorite pour over coffee maker almost entirely had water in contact with metal and glass during brewing. Glass reservoir, glass decanter, metal grounds basket - only rubber tubes going from reservoir to heating element.

When it died (your average coffee maker only lasts 5 years) all of their newer more expensive models had mostly plastic everything except for the decanter.

Hmmm...I'm now worried about my Aeropress, which I love. Perhaps it's time to switch to a french press.

They have an Aeropress in glass now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pw0hc7CB64
