      What’s the problem with pressure+heat? In these kinds or pressures and temperatures, the plastic appears to be strong enough to handle it well enough.

        it’s strong enough to, but i don’t trust plastic not to leach out nasties into my coffee in those conditions, plus it seems to retain grossness :(

              Seems to me that the results are inconclusive at the moment, which only means that the potential effect can’t be noticed as easily as the effects of asbestos, DDT, smoking or radiation. That doesn’t mean that the effect isn’t there. It may well exist, but it certainly isn’t very strong, because otherwise we would have noticed it already and the debate would have been over decades ago. But since we can’t rule it out at this point, I really don’t blame anyone from being a bit cautious.

              As a side note, you would get lots of clicks for your article if you were say that “we’re all going to die because of plastic”, but it wouldn’t be a very defendable position. Fortunately for the author, there is a way to make the reader think that without explicitly saying anything like it. By using clever words like “likely”, “associated”, “possibly”, “may be”, “in vitro”, “could disrupt”, “linked to”, “animal studies” etc. you can sort of say things without actually saying anything. You can also make the reader feel informed without actually conveying much information at all.
