With french press the coffee is retrained by a filter but it wont be a fine one.
- blacksmith_tb 3y agoRight, lots of teapots also have a fine wire mesh to keep tea leaves from getting into your cup, but I doubt that'd be fine enough to catch 'chalky' microplastics. I would think espresso and French press would also need to have their water pass through a filter before coming into contact with the ground coffee.
- kelipso 3y agoRecent fad in espresso is to place a disk shaped coffee filter in the portafilter. Idea is to remove oils and smaller sediments but microplastics would get filtered too I guess. Though espresso machine would usually have soft water and this method doesn't work as well for soft water.
