Coffee Makers

Many traditional coffee makers contain materials that can expose you to unwanted chemicals—especially when hot water runs through them day after day. Plastics inside brewing systems may leach BPA, BPS, and phthalates, while low-quality metal components can introduce trace amounts of lead or aluminum. Some machines also use Teflon-coated heating plates or internal tubing containing PFAS, which can break down over time. While these chemicals are often present in small amounts, many people prefer to avoid them altogether, especially in something they use every single morning.

The good news? There are plenty of non-toxic coffee makers made with safer materials like stainless steel, glass, ceramic, and BPA-free components. Whether you prefer pour-over, French press, stovetop brewing, or a modern drip machine, you can easily enjoy great coffee without questionable materials. Below, I’ve put together a curated list of my favorite low-tox and toxin-free coffee makers to help you brew with confidence—and feel good about what’s going into your cup.
