Aarke Just Gave Its Best-Selling Coffee Maker a Calming Matte White Finish – It’s as Practical as It Is Beautiful
The elegant white colorway taps into some of 2026's top colors of the year
Coffee is a cornerstone of most mornings, with our coffee makers among the hardest-working appliances in the kitchen and often taking center stage on our countertops.
It makes sense, then, that we want them to look as good as they perform. Few do this quite like Aarke. Its minimalist Drip Coffee Maker has held the top spot in our non-toxic coffee maker rankings for well over a year, thanks to its considered design and impressive performance.
Now, Aarke is introducing a sleek matte-white colorway, playing perfectly to many of 2026’s colors of the year. Calm, timeless, and easy to live with, it would look just as at home in a rustic country kitchen as it would in a modern one.
Featuring a professional boiler and a sensor in the water tank that adjusts the coffee temperature according to the number of cups you're making − from two to 10 − it can brew a full carafe in under six minutes.
Reviewed by our expert chef Lydia Hayman, the Aarke Coffee Maker is 'one of the most premium appliances you'll ever own.' While I have not tried the drip machine myself, I have had my hands on the grinder and French press, and have never experienced quality like it when it comes to making coffee at home.
While stainless steel has been their signature for years, crafting sleek, modern fixtures that command your countertop, the brand is now launching a new matte white version of their best-seller. While still a markedly minimalist choice, the finish better suits less modern kitchens, removing the bright reflective surfaces that might otherwise stand out in a traditional space.
It also plays into a growing trend of serene neutral appliances, which grew out of Pantone's 2026 announcement that 'Cloud Dancer' would be its 2026 Color of the Year, with SMEG having released a new series in Moonlight earlier this year, and Le Creuset choosing a light neutral for its latest launch, Chateau.
Anyone who regularly has to clean stainless steel will also tell you that the new matte finish is a blessing for those who prefer a lower-maintenance kitchen. The new colorway limits the smudges, watermarks, and fingerprints that often litter stainless surfaces, saving you time cleaning your kitchen each week.
The best news is the appliance is otherwise untouched, offering the same masterful engineering and flavorful coffee. The Aarke Coffee Maker, also available at Williams Sonoma, can brew a whole pot in as little as six minutes, is simple to use, and features a warmer plate to keep your coffee ready to grab and go throughout the day.
For those of us concerned with making a kitchen less toxic, it is still constructed with non-toxic stainless steel and glass materials, too.
The matte white color is available exclusively online at Aarke and Williams Sonoma, and will arrive in stores from October 2nd 2026.
