Is Your Coffee Maker BPA Free?

With all the news about BPA in plastic one question that begs to be asked...is your coffeemaker BPA free? It appears from many articles and studies that are out there that heat accelerates the possible leeching of BPA into beverages. With all the unknowns about BPA, this coffee lover questions how safe it is to let boiling hot water drip through a plastic coffee maker and then drink that coffee. I went in search of a coffee maker that was BPA free and only found one on the market. The Hourglass Cold Brew Coffee Maker.

The Hourglass is made from BPA free plastic and as a bonus makes coffee that has less acid (that's a topic for another day). The Hourglass makes cold brewed/cold pressed coffee in which no heat is needed to brew. Cold brew coffee is made by soaking the grounds in cool water overnight (or longer for a stronger brew) which creates a coffee extract that is added to water for single serve coffee anytime.

Since the Hourglass uses no heat and is BPA free it seems like the safest and healthiest alternative to coffee making if you don't have an all glass maker. I actually tasted cold brewed coffee a few years ago and it was exceptionally smooth.

I'll leave you with this...Is your coffeemaker BPA free?
