Talking BPA (bisphenol-A) at dinner last night, later showing off my Aeropress coffee maker, which is a brilliant little single serving brew solution. Solomon asked me about whether the AeroPress was BPA free...got curious this morning and found this article from the AeroPress people. Turns out that pre 2009, not BPA free, post 2009 free of BPA or any phthalates. BPA is an endocrine disruptor. It is ubiquitous in plastics, including some that take out the BPA, but leave in other phthalates. So, ordered myself a new Aeropress this morning. Just part of my personal harm reduction plan + supporting companies that are responsive to these concerns.
