I have no finical interest in this product

Hi Alex，this filter do not have any plastic components. It is made of stainless steel wire mesh . I attached some pictures of stainless steel woven mesh . Hope they can help you understand the material . The image titled “SUS304 Wire” shows stainless steel wires hung on a weaving machine. These are 304 stainless steel wires as thin as human hair, and there are 20,000 such stainless steel wires here. The image named “Woven mesh Machine” displays the appearance of the weaving machine, capturing the process of weaving stainless steel mesh. The image called “SUS304 Mesh” is a close-up shot of the stainless steel mesh on the weaving machine. The right edge features frayed ends of stainless steel wires, which are to be cut off. It clearly shows that the stainless steel mesh is woven from a large number of stainless steel wires. These images illustrate the simplified manufacturing process of woven mesh, which serves as the main material for our coffee filters. It is made of food-grade stainless steel 304, a highly eco-friendly material, just like the stainless steel used in household pots and bowls.

Simply Good Coffee makes a plastic free coffee maker. They are currently pre-order and mine is supposed to ship within a couple of weeks. Will replace my MoccaMaster.

Ordered a coffee and asked them if they could put it in a mug. Microplastics, you know. But suddenly my order price jumped up by $7. What??
“You want to buy a mug right?” the guy said.
“No, I just want to drink it in a mug, here… and then I’ll give you the mug back.”
“Oh, right. I think we can do that.”(asks a teammate if they have mugs people can use. Yes, yes they do.)
Eventually I get my mug of coffee. I look around the shop. Not a single other person with a mug; everyone drinking from disposable cups. No one knows there’s an alternative; the employees barely know.
This was a Pete’s. But I’ve had the exact same scene play out at Starbucks too.
The struggle against microplastic is real. Be smart out there.

Where I have coffee (small and fancy coffee shop, not a chain) they always ask if I want it “to go” (in a paper cup) or “for here” (in a nice glass cup). Starbucks coffee is just horrible. Never tried Pete’s. I usually make my own from light roast organic beans and carry it in a thermos. It’s difficult to find a light roast good quality coffee - some light roasts are actually medium roast (they tend to over roast it). Costco recently introduced organic light roast beans from Ethiopia. It’s really good.
I was going to get one of the Simply Good Coffee brewers, but the reviews on quality control put me off. For coffee, I get the Mr. Espresso organic. Usually the Guatemalan dark roast.
what is the risk of plastic being introduced into ground coffee by the grinder. what companies are good/bad at this
[hmm it may be better to use unground and then a metal grinder]
