The article states six cups a day to raise cholesterol. I only drink two
cups a day. I make about four cups at home and put the rest in a thermos
bottle and reheat in a microwave the next day. So I see no reason to stop
using my reusable filter. I might end up buying a French Press some day
since I do not make much.
