Caraway launches coffee maker with no plastic in brew path

Cookware brand Caraway just released its first coffee maker, designed so every part that touches your coffee is either glass or stainless steel. There’s no plastic in the water path, basket, or carafe—unlike most drip machines. The glass carafe makes up to 10 cups, and the filter is reusable metal. Reviewers praise the look and simplicity, though it skips programmable timers for a cleaner design.

Why it mattersIf you’re worried about microplastics from hot water meeting plastic parts, this is one of the few coffee makers aiming to avoid that exposure entirely.

The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to introduce an adjustable aperture for its main camera lens—a first for Apple’s phone lineup. Sources say the rest of the phone won’t look or work much differently from last year’s model, and big camera changes will likely only be in that primary lens. This adjustment could allow for more creative photo effects, but the tiny sensor size probably limits real-world impact.
