Coffee Pots & Machines
One of the best gifts to give a coffee lover is the top-notch equipment. Why spend money on daily takeaways when you can give the gift of brewing high-quality cups at home? Depending on the recipient’s favorite way to brew a cuppa, consider purchasing one of the following pots/ machines.
Sustainability Tip
The coffee and espresso machines featured are more sustainable than others on the market. They prioritize less single-use waste.
Moka Pot
The Moka Pot is naturally more sustainable than other espresso or coffee makers. Why? Because Moka Pots made of aluminum are infinitely recyclable.
Additionally, they don’t require electrical power which other coffee pots do. So, there’s less chance of being left plugged into the wall when not in use, which still results in energy consumption.
Moka Pots are also great because they can be used camping (over a fire) or in the house with an electric or gas stove.
Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine
Ditch single-use, plastic, and paper disposable takeaway cups and save the wait time at the café by making morning brew at home.
The Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine can make lattes, macchiatos, and so many more drinks.
For the coffee enthusiast who purchases a $5 latte daily, this machine will pay itself off after 140 days.
Plus, you can save the coffee grounds and add them to your home garden or compost!
Sustainable Coffee Necessities
For the coffee lovers who have their dream machines, here are a few necessities to invest in and support their eco-friendly home setup.

Reusable K Cups
The National Coffee Association published a report sharing that one in five adults use daily single-use coffee pods.
