Moccamaster 10-Cup Coffee Brewer with Thermal Carafe in Polished Silver, $459.00

Stovetop Coffee Maker

Smaller in size and more inexpensive, these Italian moka pots use steam pressure to force hot water from a bottom chamber up through coffee grounds. Although the pressure isn’t high enough to achieve espresso extraction, the coffee they make is stronger and more complex than that brewed in a drip machine.

Single Serve Pod Coffee Maker

Although coffee pods aren't seen as a sustainable choice, it is still the machine of many people's choice due to its convenience — the smart design ensures the perfect water to coffee grounds ratio & temperature settings to make the process very fast and foolproof. Every cup is flavourful, aromatic and has a rich, silky crema. If you'd like to help with reducing waste, there are refillable pods available for corresponding brands, or choosing manufacturers with a recycling program (Nespresso for example) is an option too.
