If so, do you keep the temperature of the liquids at or below a certain level?
I add coffee to my morning formula meal and have had the odd “bag explosion” when the liquid was too warm for the bag. Unlike many of you, I carefully wash twice and rinse my bags and reuse them. Ii cannot afford to dispose of them after 24 hours and I only use them for one meal a day. The waste!
Tge manufacturer tells me the bags are not tested for temperature. They stick to the “room temp liquid - dispose bag inn24 hours”.
Just curious if there were other renegades like me out there. This is one item I do pay for so throwing 6-8 Canadian dollars in the bin every day offends my bank account!
Just curious………
Ps I will use some bags for more than a week. I have been doing this for a year+ with no detrimental effects.

Weird, I think Ihave been drinking coffee for 50 years. Not ready to give it up yet!! I actually take a very little sip, just to get the taste of my favorite beverage, then, down the tube!
