Is this BPS (Bisphenol S) free? BPS seems to be as bad as BPA.

"TigersFan said on February 13, 2014It's too bad that Amazon doesn't let me add an answer to my own question, rather than hope someone will wade through all the comments to find this reply I just received from Aerobie:"We have received confirmation from our supplier, Eastman Chemical, that the copolyester that we use (brand name is Tritan) in the AeroPress does not contain BPA or any of what they called BPA analogs specifically including BPS."Kudos to Aerobie for so quickly replying to my question, too. Now, off to order mine! :)"Decided to quote the buried answer from the original asker since the readily available responses do not immediately answer the question.

What kind of filter and how much does it cost?

It uses paper micro-filters. The AeroPress comes with 350 filters. Replacement packs of 350 filters are sold everywhere for about $3. You can also rinse a filter under the tap and re-use it up to about twenty times.

Does it come with filters?

Yes. But I much prefer the taste of coffee filtered through the ABLE metal coffee filter. Try a bunch of different water coffee ratios, brew times, and at least try a reusable filter. Home roasted coffee is best, but you can make even the pre ground over roasted stinkers from the grocery store taste o.k. This is a pretty forgiving method because off the sort brewing times.

Plunge takes two minutes, even with wet plunger. Any ideas?

Been using this for about 4 years. Push, pause for air to release 2-3 seconds, then plunge another 3-4 seconds. If you push before the air releases, you are wasting your time. Initial push creates a vacuum, and trapped air must exit. If it takes more then 10 seconds to plunge, you are doing it wrong; listen for the hiss of the air coming out then push a second time after the air leaves.
