Quick Health Tip: Get rid of your plastic, chemical-leaching coffee maker and replace it with a glass French press or a glass/ceramic pour over coffee maker. They are quite inexpensive, especially when considering your health. When using a pour over coffee maker, make sure to only buy unbleached, chemical-free filters.
