Caraway 10-Cup Coffee Maker (Clean Brew System)

#5 · Best Larger-Capacity Plastic-Free Automatic
6.8 /10 Our score
Our verdict
On paper it fits this guide's focus as well as any machine. Because it is new, direct-only and unproven in independent tests, it ranks below the options you can buy and evaluate today.

Pros

  • 10-cup capacity
  • Glass reservoir and carafe, stainless path and filter
  • Reusable stainless filter means no paper
  • Strong placement in plastic-free roundups

Cons

  • About three months to ship
  • 2-year warranty
  • No delay timer; basket and filter need washing after every brew
  • Not on Amazon, and no SCA certification
