Doesn’t work on induction though

Sit it on a cast iron trivet, works fine.

How other people make and enjoy their coffee is none of your business,

Yes, fancy passing comment on a public thread about coffee making.

I've had (and worn out) a couple of Aeropresses and they are convenient and make good coffee.

But recently I've become concerned about drinking two or three coffees a day from a plastic tube. I have no idea what compounds are leaching into the drink.

Does anyone else have this concern?

Currently my coffee making approach makes use of what I think of as a poor man's cafetier: that is, a Pyrex jug and a fine sieve!

Recommending you’re own method is, of course, expected and good. Telling other people the way they like coffee is wrong is not so good, and will provoke a reaction.

If I were you I’d be worried that I was only drinking ‘two or three coffees a day’. Up your game.

It would be difficult to recommend a preferred method without comparing it to other methods. If that is upsetting then I suggest people might try getting over themselves.

No. You've got it wrong. You need to understand that what I wrote is a fact, your's is an incorrect opinion.

... I don't actually believe that, btw. I was trying to show the difference between politely offering an opinion and rudely telling others their preference is invalid.

Anyway, you're right - people can write whatever they want. I just don't understand why they then get all defensive if someone calls them out on it.

I can't say I'd be particularly bothered if someone didn't like my method for making coffee.

I spent years faffing with Bialetti stove top moka pots, Aeropresses, and all sorts.

Then I bought this https://www.lavazza.co.uk/en/coffee-machines/jolie-plus.html, and frankly, short of a proper machine, the espresso it produces wipes the floor with everything else I’ve tried.

That machine takes pods right? So your coffee tastes of metal.

They are incredibly easy to use, but I've never really liked the coffee they produce - and the pods are difficult to recycle.

Yeah, it’s a pod machine. But a moka pot is such a pain in the backside.
