Ratio vs. Simply Good: Which Plastic-Free Coffee Maker Is Best?

Plastic-Free Drip Coffee Is a Holy Grail. Microplastics are in everything, especially your coffee. A new generation of plastic-free coffee brewers is trying to change this. The era of plastic-free drip coffee has finally arrived. It couldn't come soon enough. Drip coffee is my first true love when it comes to caffeine. But sadly, my first love is hopelessly addicted to plastic. From the very first Mr. Coffee machines in the 1970s, nearly every drip coffee maker on the market, including many of my favorite drip coffee makers, has included plastic at some point in the brewing process. But plastic, as we're now learning, can leach tiny particles called microplastics into coffee or water, which you then happily drink in your morning cup.
