processed meat is in the same danger category as tobacco and asbestos...

in that case, another slice of asbestos cake?

@kaia he's a bit of a coffee enthusiast like me and last time we spoke he complained about how hard it is to find an espresso machine without any plastic tubing

@twinspin6 @kaia yes, it's just about not wanting near boiling water to flow through food grade plastic tubing.
i guess you could argue that machines without it have a longer lifetime but also the plastic tubing wouldn't be a great pain to repair..

@twinspin6 @kaia food grade means that there wont be any harmful chemicals oozing out at high temps as well as the plastic being sturdy enough to handle it.
microplastics are just a part of life with anything plastic

@snacks @MalibuSunrise @twinspin6 @kaia oh interesting, the part that inserts into the brew chamber is actually metal on the 58. i know on their other models it's plastic.
