it's from 15mm hard drawn copper .. not the easiest stuff to bend/work with.
But it works well. I can get a max water flow through there.

I sometimes pull a weird face when i watch YT videos and I see the brewer put this dirty looking thing into the brew pot

I agree, one should never out your dirty looking thing into ANY brew pot

Haha yes it does.. hence monstrocity.. I called it some else before .. but won't repeat that.

Yes.. In used lead free silver solder (apparently - or so it said on the packaging)

How do you feel about the solder in your house's plumbing? Because it's likely the same stuff. Plumbing solder these days is pretty safe, lead free and all that. No hassles.

Yeah, not sure how much of it is on the inside of the pipe, but you have a point.

Quite a bit, I can assure you :P

Plumbing and soldering is a messy business, with a lot of flux and solder getting on the inside of the pipes (it pretty much goes everywhere the flux touches), which is why it's been made safe for hot water use and more. I wouldn't worry about it at all.
