- This is the first I've ever heard about this - do you have a reference?
- I'm interested because I use a gold mesh filter. (I prefer it over the
- taste of paper-filtered, and I object to having to throw out all those used
- paper filters.)
-
- Maybe it's wishful thinking, but consider that what the drip
- machines replaced were not French Plungers but rather percolators. (Remember
- them?) Perhaps percolation had something to do with this cancer?
