Coffee Maker
An upcoming drip machine claiming a fully plastic-free build - only medical-grade stainless steel and glass, even the fittings and connectors. Not released yet; one to watch.
Plastic-free verdict: Plastic-free
PureSteel says the machine is built to be 100% plastic-free using only medical-grade (304) stainless steel and glass throughout - explicitly including the internal fittings and connectors, which is where even "plastic-free" drip machines usually still hide a plastic part. If the shipping product matches the claim, it would be a genuinely plastic-free automatic drip maker (no silicone caveat, unlike the Simply Good Coffee Brewer). Because it hasn't shipped and we can't verify a production unit yet, treat the rating as the manufacturer's claim, not a confirmed teardown.

What it's made of
| Part | Material | Food contact |
|---|---|---|
| body and water path medical-grade stainless steel, including fittings and connectors (per manufacturer) | Stainless Steel (304 / 18-8) | Yes |
| carafe dishwasher-safe glass carafe | Soda-Lime Glass | Yes |
| filter removable steel filter | Stainless Steel (304 / 18-8) | Yes |
A startup product (puresteelco.com) built around the exact gap this category exposes: a drip coffee maker with no plastic anywhere in the water path, including the fittings and connectors that even the best current options compromise on. 12-cup capacity, removable steel filter, glass carafe. As of mid-2026 it is not released - the first production batch has been claimed and the company is taking sign-ups for updates. We're listing it now because it's a genuinely promising plastic-free option worth tracking; we'll verify and re-rate once units ship.
Pros
- Claims a fully plastic-free build - steel and glass only, including fittings

- Large 12-cup capacity, removable steel filter
Cons
- Not released yet - claims unverified on a production unit
- Startup with no track record or long-term reviews
