Wouldn't some of that plastic leach into the water at high temperatures? Especially seeing the plastic's being heated up several times a day?

It's the modern material my dear fella. High temperatures don't affect it. They must have done lots of R&D with the modern plastics.

Because it's cheap and won't last long! And yes, I believe some of the plastic will leach into the water, but the manufacturers don't care. They just want the money.

I'm not a chemist, but I doubt the temperature gets high enough to melt the plastic. I don't think there is anything to worry about!

it extremely is the way i've got been making my coffee for some years. it extremely is declared as, "Cowboy coffee". you employ much less coffee grounds and it tastes greater helpful. only pour it via a strainer into the cup.

because the metal would get too hot?
actually it's properly called a hot pot and you can get metal ones at stores/websites that sell British goods, and of course on Amazon.

Never owned one, but I would think they are metal-lined.
