Microplastics and Your Morning Coffee

Microplastics have become a growing topic of research, with scientists finding tiny plastic particles in our food, water, and everyday environment. While researchers are still working to understand exactly how they affect human health, many people are looking for simple ways to reduce unnecessary plastic exposure.

For coffee drinkers, one area of interest is how hot beverages interact with plastic. Studies have shown that some plastic food contact materials can release microplastics or plastic associated chemicals, particularly when exposed to heat.

That does not mean every coffee pod or coffee machine is unsafe. Researchers are still studying how much exposure comes from different products and what the long term health implications may be.

At Jakamo, we wanted to keep things simple. Our coffee concentrate is made with only coffee and water and packaged in a glass bottle, giving you a convenient way to make premium coffee without relying on single use pods.

Whether your priority is convenience, reducing waste, or simply minimizing plastic contact with your coffee, choosing products packaged in glass is one practical option.

As research continues to evolve, we believe simple ingredients and thoughtful packaging are choices worth making.
