Hario
A materials-agnostic maker that sells the same designs in glass, ceramic, metal, and plastic, so the plastic story depends entirely on which version you buy. At its best — the ceramic V60 — the brew path is Arita porcelain and paper only, genuinely plastic-free. But Hario's most popular V60 is plastic, and even its ceramic Skerton Plus grinder pairs ceramic burrs with a polypropylene hopper and body the beans sit in. They aren't avoiding plastic so much as offering it as one option among several.
How clear are their specs?
Hario names the actual material of each variant plainly — Arita porcelain, borosilicate glass, or plastic — so buyers can tell exactly what the brew path is before purchasing.
Products we recommend
Coffee Mill Dome (MCD-2)
A retro wood-box mill that is the closest thing to a genuinely plastic-free grinder we have found - steel hopper, ceramic burrs, wooden drawer, and no polymer listed anywhere.
V60 Ceramic Dripper 02
One-piece Arita porcelain pour-over cone - the brew path is ceramic and paper only, with no plastic (unlike Hario's popular plastic V60).
