Great work.

One extra thing about plastic that's more pernicious - under heat it breaks down into microplastics and nanoplastics that are awful for our bodies. A lot of research has recently been published about this in 2024.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It seems like we're just beginning to prove it. I keep track of this by watching Mike Mutzel[7] on YouTube, which I recommend to anybody interested in the topic

Does the water touch plastic in any part of the machine?
