Stainless steel it’s one of the sharpest looking materials that can be used in a kitchen. From stainless steel stoves an fridges to smaller appliances like stainless steel coffee makers. While a stainless steel coffee maker does look sharp, and will match other stainless appliances you might have it does offer some practical application to why you would want to purchase a coffee maker made with stainless steel rather then plastic and glass.

Most top brands in the coffee world offer some form of stainless steel coffee maker. Often times companies have the same model available in a stainless version and a plastic/regular version. Take Cuisinart for example. There top selling grind and brew coffee maker comes in a plastic with glass carafe version also a stainless version. The cost might be a few dollars more for the stainless steel version but the benefits are worth the price in my opinion.

With a stainless steel coffee maker, it’s not just looks you pay for. Take the carafe for example, replacement carafes for coffee makers can be anywhere from fifteen to fifty dollars. Now it’s not going to break the bank if it needed to be replaced, how ever they’re not always the easiest items to find. Let’s face it your coffee maker is pretty much worthless without the carafe. A stainless steel carafe which most stainless coffee makers would come with is pretty much break proof. You can’t shatter it like glass, and its safe to use in the sink, and some even in the dish washer.

Second benefit of a stainless steel coffee maker, is that carafe is often thermal. Meaning the coffee is kept warm inside like a thermos. I love this feature, I don’t know about you but if you make a pot of coffee in the morning, the first cup doesn’t taste as good as the last cup. I find as the element below my carafe continues to keep it warm, it also begins to "burn" the coffee to an extent. Reducing the quality of taste. With a thermal stainless steel carafe this problem is solved because it’s kept warm inside with out having to have a heat source below.

So what stainless steel coffee maker should you consider? Here are a couple of our favorites.
