Most people can't get going without their fresh cup of coffee. I was never really an everyday coffee drinker until my last trimester of pregnancy. I only had one cup and felt a little guilty at that amount, but I justified it because it is Organic Starbucks Roasted Blend that we buy from Costco. Did you know that coffee is the second most pesticide ridden crop next to cotton??? Therefore Organic is best if you drink coffee regularly. I have been trying to give it up now and went 4 days, today I had coffee!
Around the time I began my coffee indulgence, our coffee maker broke. My husband mentioned that if there was BPA in baby bottles(now banned) and microwave plastic containers, why would we drink coffee from a plastic coffee maker. Then I googled the topic today. Apparently it is hazardous, especially to pregnant women. Last summer we went to Ikea and found a french press for 20 dollars. We have used it EVERYDAY since last summer and are in need of a new one because the mesh is fraying along the edges and coffee grounds get in the coffee now so we double strain it. They do make ones that encase the edges of the mesh plunger, just need to figure out which one to buy now. That would require a trip to the mall to see one in person and get just the right one! Hopefully we will find the time soon. Maybe this is a reason to give up coffee and get my pearly whites back??
