GROSCHE
Milano Stovetop Espresso Maker

A food safe aluminum moka pot from a certified B Corporation that funds safe drinking water with every sale. Brew path is aluminum with a heatproof silicone gasket; the soft touch handle is an undisclosed plastic.

It makes coffee and tea brewers, water bottles, and kitchen accessories, designed in Canada and made by factories in Taiwan and China that the company states it audits. It has been a certified B Corporation since October 2015, an independent audit of a company's social and environmental practices, with a current score of 116. The brand states every product sold funds more than 50 days of safe drinking water through its Safe Water Project, which has funded over 4,000 biosand filters across six countries. GROSCHE states its products are free of BPA, PFAS, and lead, though it does not disclose the exact plastic in the Milano's handle.
