Why are the bottlers pouring the beverage over the EXTERIOR paint on the bottle CAPS? This makes no sense whatsoever.

...helluva lot more pressure differential...

That is not true. The pressure differential of a vacuum tube is 15 PSI at sea level. Soda is pressurized at 55 to 100 PSI.

Compressed air and steam produces airborne particles on those enclosure lids maybe. Compressed air has different types of filters also. Steam injector lines/filters have special requirements and have to be monitored carefully. Water filters are not perfect either.

I wonder about glass bottles made in Australia.. I have a glass of chardonnay from Australia every night. In fact, drinking it now. Just one glass every night; in fact, drinking it now, it’s 5:30 here.

Ditto. Every interior part.

We ditched our drip coffeemaker years ago.

Nothing better than percolator coffee!

Don’t the metal caps also contain a plastic liner?

"Every coffee maker is plastic."

My wife just insisted that we brew coffee using a glass vessel to boil water and a perforated, stainless steel cone to hold the grounds as the boiling water is poured over the grounds to drip into a glass carafe. I made her buy a second carafe and cone to help speed up the process.
