Over the past year, I’ve found myself repeatedly horrified by new studies on microplastics. They’re infiltrating the utensil drawer, potentially flaking off in morning omelets, and have even been found in human arteries. Emerging data has made me reconsider the products I’m using. Personally, that starts with my coffee nook.
We found 11 clever tools made with non-toxic materials to decrease the chance of those microplastics seeping into your morning cup. (Experts often recommend swapping plastic kitchen utensils for wood, stainless steel, or silicone.) We rounded up the top non-toxic coffee tools on Amazon, including pour-over coffee makers and shopper-recommended coffee grinders. The best part? Many of these picks are even cheaper than a coffee and pastry combo at your local coffeehouse.

OXO Stainless Steel Coffee Canister

Happy shoppers say they also love bringing this sleek, easy-pour canister on camping trips.
Adorever Milk Frothing Pitcher
Amazon
If you’re accustomed to ordering lattes to-go, you likely don’t have a frothing pitcher in your collection. Change that with this 12-ounce, stainless-steel pitcher for steaming, frothing, and pouring milk into your espresso. From an approachability standpoint, we can also appreciate the engraved measuring points and dishwasher-safe design. Snag it for just $7.
House Gem Mug Warmer
Amazon
As the temperatures dip, it becomes even harder to pry yourself out of your cozy bed. Try motivating yourself to crack open that laptop with a mug warmer that keeps coffee hot for up to 12 hours. Three temperature settings, auto shutoff, and an integrated timer are just the cherry on top.
Black + Decker One Touch Coffee Grinder
Amazon
Grinding your own coffee gives you extra control over your cup — grounds can be customized to your exact preferences, and they tend to taste fresher. Black + Decker’s shopper-loved model has a single button that controls the grind size. There’s a locking mechanism on the lid to prevent mess, too. This model has earned more than 13,000 perfect ratings, granting it a glowing 4.8-star rating overall.
Bodum 34-ounce Pour Over Coffee Maker
Amazon
As for a non-toxic coffee maker, you can’t go wrong with this glass pour-over model. The microplastic-free coffee maker is a favorite among Amazon shoppers, with some reviewers calling out the “nostalgic” design and ergonomic cork handle. At just $20 for the pot and reusable stainless steel filter, you can’t beat it.
Nova Milk Frother for Coffee
Amazon
Don’t underestimate the versatility and usefulness of a handheld frother, even if you aren’t planning to froth milk. Use it to aerate cloud coffee, whip up scrambled eggs, and fully mix your syrup into coffee. (I love using mine to whip up salad dressing, too.) As for this under-$10 model, shoppers say they appreciate its “powerful motor” and quick-charging battery.
Qipecedm Espresso Cups, Set of 2
Amazon
Do you brew espresso directly over ice? Break that habit and start enjoying less diluted lattes. Pulling espresso into a separate cup allows time for it to cool, thoroughly mix with syrups or sweeteners, and avoid becoming watered down from melting ice. Amazon shoppers especially love this glass set of espresso cups, which retail for $5 apiece.
Gonzone Coffee Measuring Spoon
Amazon
Toss the plastic scoop that’s currently sitting in your bag of coffee grounds. Shoppers recommend replacing it with this stainless measuring tool, crafted from rust-resistant stainless steel and walnut wood. It holds exactly 10 grams of grounds, making it an excellent tool to dole out your morning espresso.
Veken Coffee Canister With Window
Amazon
When overhauling your plastic-filled pantries, start with storage. More than 2,000 shoppers purchased this all-in-one Veken airtight canister in the past month, with pleased shoppers noting that its unique, built-in date tracker helps them to remember when to replace their grounds. (Plus, you can monitor your stock through its clear window.)
Clipore Stainless Steel Professional Ice Cube Trays
Amazon
While you’re slowly replacing your plastic kitchenware, don’t forget what’s stashed in the freezer. Craft iced coffees and lattes with these non-toxic stainless steel ice cube trays. On top of the sturdy construction, reviewers generally appreciate the tray’s release mechanism and larger 18-cube capacity. One shopper raves that it’s “a more premium feel for a kitchen essential” that’s “perfect for everyday use.”
Delove Stainless Steel Coffee Stirring Spoons
Amazon
Those flimsy plastic swizzle sticks have got to go. Replace them with this 4-piece set of stainless steel spoons. “These little spoons are beautiful!” one shopper raves. They’re versatile, too: “I got them to fish capers out of the jar and they are perfect for that.” You can also use them to swirl syrups and thoroughly mix creamer into your mug.
