Cholesterol-elevating substances in coffee from machines at work. (www.uu.se)

The coffee from most of the coffee machines in workplaces contains relatively high levels of cholesterol-elevating substances. There is a big difference in comparison to coffee made in regular paper filter coffee makers, which filter out most of these substances.

Haven’t seen one about that yet. Potential PFAS sources are literally everywhere nowadays, so I’m not entirely sure how concerned should I be. Many coffee machines have plastic parts here and there, so the paper is probably the least of my concerns.
