Throw Out Your Black Plastic Spatula

The article does speak of black specifically, not just any plastic. Even if there aren't any that don't put the hot liquid in contact with plastic, it might be worth looking at the color (is my understanding from the article)

Yeah, sorry, that was implied. I would assume that's what they all use. Based on my recent personal experience, even the higher end options like Moccamaster and OXO use black plastic.

Ah, darn. I'm not a coffee drinker myself so didn't know that they're all black on the inside :(

I've run into a couple of the really cheap white drip machines that are all white plastic.

I guess that's preferable to black plastics (like in my fancy OXO) but I really don't want there to be any contact between hot water and plastic.
