A CNET reviewer tested Caraway’s first appliance: a 10-cup drip brewer with a stainless steel brew path, glass carafe, simple controls, and a design-first approach. It costs $495 and omits timers or scheduling features.
No plastic touches the brew water: the brew basket, reusable filter and carafe contact surfaces are stainless steel or glass.
Practical daily use: 10-cup glass carafe, dishwasher-safe parts, keeps coffee warm about 1.5 hours.
Price and finish options: available for $495 in cream, stone, midnight and clay.
Many consumer drip coffee makers place boiling water in contact with plastic parts. The reviewer had been swapping plastic out of their kitchen and wanted a drip machine that avoided plastic in the brew path. Caraway's new coffee maker is positioned to solve that specific concern while offering the convenience of an automatic drip brewer.
The appliance looks like other Caraway products: a focus on clean lines, matte finishes and coordinated colors. Key physical features reported by the reviewer:
The reviewer used the machine multiple times and reported consistently good coffee with no rogue grounds. The reusable stainless steel filter rinses clean and is reused. After brewing, the machine leaves coffee warm in the carafe for about an hour and a half.
Caraway's coffee maker is available for $495 and comes in four finish options: cream, stone, midnight and clay. The reviewer noted the unit's build quality and how it aligns with Caraway's existing aesthetic for cookware.
This brewer fits buyers who prioritize a plastic-free brew path and a design-forward countertop appliance over automated scheduling or advanced programmability. It also suits users who want a reusable filter and a 10-cup carafe for multiple servings. If you need to schedule a brew before waking up, this model does not offer that feature.
The reviewer's main takeaway is that the machine delivers on its central promise: no plastic in the parts that contact boiling water and brewed coffee. Combined with a simple user interface, dishwasher-safe components and a glass carafe, the machine aims to give drip-brewer convenience without plastic where it matters most.
Caraway spent years designing pretty pans without the toxic coatings . Next, it’s coming for the coffee maker. The brand’s first appliance, which launches today for $495 online and at Crate & Barrel stores, took five years and 10 pending patents. The result is a sleek 10-cup coffee maker that, unlike almost every compe

The history of in-home coffee making is a story in and of itself. Over the past century, home coffee brewing has evolved from simmering pots and boiled water to percolators and, in the 1970s, the automatic drip machine, which became a fixture of modern kitchens. But then the industry saw another shake-up with the intro
Over the past two years, I’ve tested a handful of espresso machines (and more than a dozen coffee makers). And while I usually enjoy them for a bit, I always end up returning to my single-serve pod coffee maker for ease and speed.Lavazza’s brand-new Tablí Espresso Machine is the first that might change that pattern for
We’ve shied away from covering coffee makers for years—there just weren’t enough good-looking options available. But recently that’s changed: There are now many well-designed classic brewers worthy of display on the countertop. And while we still like an espresso machine or a simple ceramic pour-over filter, a multi-cu
