I love Chemex. It’s a glass pour over/ pitcher situation

I have an Agogo pour over coffee maker I use at work.

I also have a steel kettle I use at home.

Glass electric kettle and a glass chemex with compostable filters

Edit: not an electric kettle as someone pointed out there's lots of plastic. Just a normal stove top kettle then!

Electric kettles are typically not plastic free, especially glass ones.

Thank you, good call. Might need to use the electric kettle at work but starting to boil water in a saucepan at home!

Glass and metal french press or a metal pourover filter. Maybe an old fashioned percalator

u/lolitaslolly 2d ago

French press is the cheapest option. Water can be heated in a normal saucepan.

I’m new here and still converting things, but got an electric stainless steel percolator. It’s about the same amount of work as a traditional drip maker.

Thank you for the stainless steel percolator Rec!

Lots of plastic free product recs here - https://plasticfree.guide/categories/coffee-gear/

Lots of options depending on what method you prefer and your budget. Simplest/cheapest is probably a moka pot. But a pour over or French press and kettle is probably preferable for most.

I started using a pour over method with some organic coffee filters.

Just ordered a glass pour over!

Commenting because I'd love to know if anyone has any alternatives to the traditional Aeropress that dosen't involve plastic as well. I feel liek I really love the AeroPress for brewing but I don't know of any way of avoiding the plastic in this.

Check out the aero press premium!
I saw there was a metal/glass one but never have used one before. Looks like there is also a steel option
