I seriously don’t know what it is, but coffee from glass bottles just tastes better than coffee from plastic bottles. For many years my friends and family members would tease me when I’d mention my preference for glass bottle drinks. I’ve said the exact same thing about beer and wine on so many occasions. Even though I couldn’t explain my reasoning even slightly, I was totally convinced of this fact for years. When I started reading about plastics leaching chemicals into drinks—often simply from minimal heat exposure while in storage—I felt pretty much like I had stumbled upon a scientific reason for my glass bottle preference. In particular, older plastic bottles were using a chemical byproduct called BPA. A ton of studies found that BPA was both toxic in long term exposure and actually leaches into a plastic bottle’s contents if even just a little bit of heat or UV light is exposed to the bottle. This is primarily the reason why my preferred cannabis dispensary in my area quit utilizing plastic jars for their products as soon as the supplier was able to make the change. They have told me that the other pressing reason is that the glass jars with the silicone rings at the top are superior for how fresh they keep your marijuana flower. Between not being bothered about chemicals leaching into your cannabis, nor having your stash go completely dry while in closed storage, I believe I will consistently go with a glass bottle for my cannabis if I’m afforded the choice. I can thank all of the glass bottled coffee and beer that got me to this point in my life.
