I'm not a coffee drinker but I've wondered the same thing. And why not just go do it the old fashioned way and save the $$$? Only we American's take an economical drink and make it expensive
I got away from drip coffee makers because it was just too easy to make a mess on the kitchen counter top, especially if I was in a hurry and especially if I was grinding my own beans. Still way cheaper than Starbucks, especially if you buy in bulk at Costco.
No, once a month run bleach treated water through the tank, about a cap full. Then run twice with just water, no mold. Besides, I just boil water and then pour it over the grounds. Don't even plug in the maker.
There's only so much we can control. We can't control what our city pipes are made of, but we can control what we buy. There's no way to get around plastic in our water anymore, but at least we're reducing one thing that makes it worse. Plus the reduction in waste. We just have to keep trying
@@pieceofpeace35we can also control who we believe… someone who’s never went through the education to be a nutritionist or dietitian in Bobby has been caught spreading misinformation and making contradictory statements by actual certified professionals…
I said the same thing back in 2011 when I joined an office who had kcup after kcup all day. I also wrestled plastic storageware away from people reheating their food in the microwave for 5 minutes on high! Glass
Hear me out, every coffee maker is made of plastic and has metal parts inside. The hot water touches plastic in say a Mr. Coffee machine. It’s no different.
I know Bobby Everytime I buy the stainless k cups or any healthy thing the floor person makes it disappear which is odd since this bldg unit has NO FLOOR PERSON who’s entering r unit when the most high r going out doing daily activities 🤙🍍🏝
Do you know it stabs a hole in the aluminum! So the water isn’t even touching the aluminum! Also isn’t a lot of things made out of plastic and we all eat and drink perfectly.
I feel totally fine with it. I'm going to die eventually and I'm not spending more or doing more work to delay the inevitable. The human body is amazingly resilient so if yore taking care of yourself some chemicals from a plastic cup wont make a bit of difference. So what do you do? You put the K-Cup in, drink your coffee and move on with your day. First world problems at its finest. Start my day worrying about my coffee? No thanks.
Have you disassembled any of coffee machines, they literally use plastic pipes, I mean all coffee machines, besides if you think about it, there are millions other plastic that we uses in day to day with literally no choice, so what is your thoughts about that!?
I quit using pods a year ago. Not only is it better for the environment to get away from filling land fills with plastic waste but I get way better coffee with fresh ground beans. I use the mesh k cup that came with the kuerig but am going to check out the stainless ones.
Why stop there. The machine is made out of plastic and rubber or plastic tubing. If you don’t thoroughly clean after every use, you could pick up pathogens, molds bacteria in and on the top of the machine. Your best bet is just stay in bed. It’s safer there.
We use the larger nespresso pods, which taste much better, are at least recyclable, and fully aluminum. That aluminum is much thicker (at least to my eyes) than K-cup pods. That’s gotta help, right!?
All I have to say is that this man better last over 100 years. Living his life with OCD and spreading it like love has become a norm for him. I would rather be happy and worry free than to live my life worrying about every little thing. I get that we have to eat healthy, but damn! This guy takes things to a whole new level, a level of being afraid to get sick or even die. Don't be afraid to die. You'll live a happier life.
Yeah. I appreciate he’s trying to educate, but damn… it seems vast majority of foods & drinks have a problem. And I’ll bet the protein powders he sells aren’t cheap either. Plus I’m across the pond in the UK anyway. I don’t think anything is bad, provided it is consumed occasionally or in moderation. I get clean eating, but even that can be an issue if that’s all you eat. There was a poor girl who died recently just eating fruit. I feel like you can’t win. I have no desire to get to 100 the state the world is in anyway. I’d rather die having enjoyed my life with the occasional ice cream.
Aluminum is perfectly fine. Plastic is iffy but likely not harsh. Not as bad as a billion other things we do to our bodies daily, including being on social media.
I was having extensive blood work done two years ago and K-Cups were the exact reason why my estrogen levels were extremely high with dirty estrogen. High levels of dirty estrogen can lead to breast cancer ovarian cancer and other nasty things nobody wants so think about the cosmetics you're using and putting on your skin every day and all the other plastic chemical concoctions. Might be part of the reason why we have women going into menopause and they're very early 30s. Hormone disruptors are no ones friend.
That hot water is still coming in contact with all the components of the coffee machine, which are nearly all plastic
Are there any metal k-cup machines?
I’m sure the guy who invented k-cups feels bad at first but then he looks at those monthly checks and probably feels a lot better

Smart I need your brain
The build up of toxic metal is fine.
You goofy
My air quality sucks so I might as well poison my drinks too makes sense
You forgot that the machine itself is plastic so it’s a double whammy with the toxic substances imbibed.
But don’t boil it the water on the stove either…. The toxins in the aluminum or steel pan will go strait to your pie hole.
And they are usually filled with mold and bacteria because of the water sitting in the water reservoir nonstop for months.

Ceramic melitta filter holder and water boiled in a steel or ceramic hot pot is the way I go. No mess! Just throw the filter away or you can compost.
Water boils in a plastic container inside most of the coffee maker. So the use of a steel filter has no point.
Also, they are filled with some sort of cottony fiber and who knows what is in that
Getting yourself to a state where you cannot start a day without coffee, is a terrible idea in the first place.
