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.

Plastics may degrade, but (as others have mentioned) if a plastic one lasts 10+ years

Micro plastics can be released as soon as a water bottle is first filled. This isn't the structural integrity of the plastic failing, it's your endocrine system and who knows what else being affected by tiny pieces of plastic that start shedding immediately.

Look, I'm not saying this isn't a cash grab because the serial inventor who made the aero press sold a controlling stake in his company and the new firm is squeezing as much money out as they can before the patent expires, BUT some of us do care about micro plastics. Not that I give my daughter coffee, but now that I have a toddler we've eliminated as much food related plastic as we can.

Stuff is genuinely damaging and yet we keep using it because it's convenient. And people wonder why the Romans used lead containers.
