Recently, a post in the coffee discussion area of a social platform shocked netizens! As can be seen from the photo, the poster uses a mask as a filtering tool to brew dripping coffee with the caption "drink a cup of ☕️, it tastes unique". (have a cup of coffee, it tastes unique)

This shocking and shocking picture immediately caused a heated discussion among netizens in the discussion area: "there is no need to save so much!" "it makes people sick to see it." it looks delicious. "there is Lianhua Qingwen coffee, why can't we have COVID-19 coffee?" ……

For the mask to make coffee, many netizens also mentioned that there is a waterproof layer and glue layer on the mask, so they are worried about whether it will be toxic. Some also say that the waterproof layer will not allow the coffee to pass, and the dripping coffee will become soaked coffee.

To this end, netizens replied: the mask is brand new but out of date, and the waterproof layer of the mask has been removed. The melt blown cloth in the middle and the innermost non-woven cloth can filter the coffee grounds.

For this operation, it turns out that not long ago, netizens in other discussion areas said that it was a bit wasteful to throw away expired but unused masks, but only to remove the waterproof layer of the mask, then hang it on the cup and put coffee powder on it. Hot water can be used as an earbag.

As a result, many netizens have "set an example" to verify the possibility of this statement. As to whether the non-woven cloth is toxic after heating in hot water, some netizens share that the plasticizer will not be added in the process of making the mask, so there will be no problem of releasing plasticizer.

In this paper, a medical expert said that the nonwoven fabric on the inside of the mask is polypropylene PP, not a plasticizer. Experts said: polypropylene PP is of course harmful to your health, but as long as it is ventilated after steaming, there will be no harmful substances. At the same time, it is said that even if they are really exposed to polypropylene PP released by non-woven cloth, the harmful substances are actually very small, and the amount of harmful substances in tableware eaten out is higher than that of polypropylene PP released by steam masks.

Having said that, it is not recommended that you try the practice of making coffee with a mask. One is to heat it in a different way! The way of hot water injection is more concentrated in a certain location. Secondly, it is really not necessary. After all, the price of coffee filter paper is about the same as that of face masks. Of course, it is to choose reliable materials for coffee brewing.

The mask is out of date. Lose it when you really don't dare to use it again. Even if it is clean and hygienic, don't try it easily. After all, not all masks are reliable.
