PFAS and harsh chemicals seem to have made their way into everything in a kitchen, posing a constant long-term risk to your health. Coffee makers are no exception.

That's why we are so thorough in testing the best non-toxic coffee makers, so you can start your day off with a healthier approach to your morning routine. One of the best we have found? The OXO Brew 8 Cup Coffee Maker, currently $22 off at Amazon.

Keep Your Morning Routine Non-Toxic with This No-Fuss Drip Coffee Maker

Adding a no-fuss coffee maker to your kitchen is one of the easiest ways to organize your morning routine, making brewing a simple cup of joe a breeze. The last thing you want when you're already in a rush is to have to fuss with settings, apps, and programmes to get your caffeine hit.

Reviewed by our expert Aleenah Ansari, she found that this impressive drip coffee maker, while not the fanciest, made the perfect filter coffee, with the entire eight-cup brew taking just six minutes to complete – less time than it takes to wrangle your breakfast together.

Plus, even after years of use, it stayed consistent. You can't hope for much better than that as an everyday coffee drinker. The only downside is that the double-walled stainless steel carafe doesn't keep your coffee warm for hours, as there is no added hot plate.

For that, you might want to consider the Aarke Drip Coffee maker, also from Amazon, which, while larger and more expensive, will keep undrunk coffee warmer for longer. Otherwise, the OXO model is the perfect effortless brew for busy households.

The OXO Brew 8-cup is designed specifically so that all parts of the appliance that make contact with the coffee or the water are BPA-free, too, making it one of the most practical tools for creating a non-toxic home.

It also makes cleaning a drip coffee maker super simple, as the brew baskets are dishwasher-safe in the top rack, and the carafe only needs a rinse out with soap and water, so you won't be wasting precious time before you start your day washing dishes.

Despite the relative 'lack' of features, the pot still comes with a descaling warning light, so you know exactly when to perform a deep clean to prevent damage.

It's perfect for keeping on the counter, with minimal sprawling setup, ready to hit start as you come downstairs each day. And with $22 off the OXO Brew 8-cup at Amazon right now, it's a no-brainer for peace of mind, and a healthier, stress-free start to each day.

What to Shop

We have tried and tested plenty of fantastic non-toxic coffee machines to suit every style and budget, in case the OXO Brew isn't quite for you.


Fancy something with a few more functions? We compared the OXO 8-cup and the OXO 9-cup and found the latter to add some convenience, but at the cost of some consistency.
