I agree. Over the years I have tried most methods and acquired equipment, currently settling on V60 when I have time and instant coffee when in hurry, but have always hesitated to get Aeropress due to the plastic.

As you said, boiling water in plastic just doesn't work for me.

On a more snobby note, the thing that surprised me was how easy it is to roast coffee using a popcorn maker. I got the coffee sampler and popcorn maker and it was off the charts good. Absolutely fresh coffee, with the added advantage of sometimes just eating a few coffee beans after roasting :)
