Many thanks for your reply! Yes it's ethanol that I'm using, and everything is kept at room temperature. The reason I'm asking this query is because most recipes recommend using glass instead of plastic containers, as they can leach into the alcohol. So I just want to make sure that I won't wind up with contaminated alcohol.

Hello! I am interested in using an Aerobie Aeropress to filter alcohol infusions, and I'm wondering if the materials used will be safe to run alcohol through. Please read below for the official email I received from Aerobie: "With regard to your question about alcohol and the AeroPress coffee maker, we don't know. All the materials used in the manufacture of the AeroPress are what is called FDA grade for use in contact with food. I suppose alcohol is a food. For your information, the AeroPress chamber and plunger are made of copolyester, the hard black parts are made of polypropylene, and the soft seal is a made of a thermoplastic elastomer. All these types of materials are widely used in the kitchen. Best regards, A. Tennant Aerobie, Inc." Any help is very much appreciated and thank you!
