What Touches Your Coffee Matters — So We Removed the Plastic
Most drip coffee makers route hot water through plastic components at some point — reservoirs, tubing, filter baskets — even when the marketing says otherwise. This brewer takes a different approach: zero plastic and zero aluminum touch your water or coffee at any point in the brewing process. The entire brew path is built from 304 stainless steel and molded borosilicate glass, the same type of glass used in laboratory equipment, chosen specifically because it won’t leach chemicals, crack under repeated heat cycles, or alter the taste of your coffee over time.
That material choice isn’t just a health-conscious detail — it directly supports better coffee. The brewer maintains a precise 195°F–205°F water temperature throughout the entire brew cycle, independently tested to meet the Specialty Coffee Association’s Golden Cup extraction standard. A precision-milled stainless steel showerhead disperses water evenly across the full filter bed, avoiding the dry spots and channeling that lead to uneven, inconsistent extraction in cheaper machines.
An optional Bloom feature adds a 30-second pre-infusion pulse before the main brew cycle, pre-wetting and de-gassing the coffee grounds for more even, flavorful extraction — the same principle baristas use in manual pour-over brewing, automated into a one-button process. A stainless steel drip-stop mechanism on the filter basket also means you can pour a cup mid-brew without needing to wait for the full cycle to finish or worrying about drips on the hot plate.
Operation stays genuinely simple: fill with water and grounds, press one button, and you have up to 8 cups of coffee in about 6 minutes. A 40-minute auto-timer hot plate keeps your brew warm after cycling completes, and helpful fill-line markings are engraved directly onto the water tank, showing exactly how much coffee to use for a full batch — a small detail that removes the guesswork for anyone new to brewing ratios.
Available in black or brushed stainless steel to match most kitchen aesthetics, with optional vinyl color wraps if you want to personalize the exterior further.
Ideal For: Anyone actively reducing plastic and microplastic exposure in food and beverage contact, coffee drinkers who want pour-over-quality flavor without the manual pour-over process, and households replacing an aging or lower-quality drip machine with something built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is any part of this coffee maker made of plastic?
The brew path itself — everything that touches water or coffee — is 100% stainless steel and borosilicate glass. Some exterior housing components use plastic, primarily to prevent burns during use, but nothing in contact with water or coffee is plastic.
How is this different from other “eco-friendly” coffee makers?
Many coffee makers marketed as eco-friendly or BPA-free still route water through plastic components like tubing or reservoirs. This brewer specifically eliminates plastic and aluminum from the entire brew path, not just the visible parts.
Does removing plastic affect the coffee flavor?
If anything, it supports better flavor — the machine maintains SCA Golden Cup standard temperatures (195°F–205°F) throughout brewing, and the materials are chosen specifically to avoid altering taste, unlike some plastics which can affect flavor under heat.
What is the Bloom feature?
It’s an optional 30-second pre-infusion pulse that pre-wets and de-gasses coffee grounds before the main brew cycle, mimicking a technique used in manual pour-over brewing for more even extraction.
How many cups does it brew, and how long does it take?
It brews up to 8 cups in approximately 6 minutes.
How long does the hot plate keep coffee warm?
The auto-timer hot plate keeps coffee warm for 40 minutes after brewing completes.
What filters does it use?
It’s compatible with standard #4 paper filters or reusable metal filters.
Can I pour a cup before the brew cycle finishes?
Yes, a stainless steel drip-stop mechanism allows you to pour mid-brew without spilling coffee on the hot plate.
Is this machine independently tested?
Yes, it’s been independently tested to meet Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Golden Cup extraction standards.
