Most coffee makers are forgettable: plastic, bland, and easily overlooked on your counter. That’s where Grisbrew coffee machine emerges as a concrete winner. The all-in-one coffee machine flaunts a body made of real concrete. Yes, the stuff they make buildings with. Concrete isn’t used for mere aesthetics, it gives Grisbrew the durability that flimsy, plasticky coffee machines can only dream of.
While browsing the internet this morning, I came across an interesting project called GrisBrew. As is evident from the name, GrisBrew is all about coffee. Upon having a good look at their website and Kickstarter crowdfunding page, I found GrisBrew is a multitasking coffee machine. “GrisBrew combines grinding, brewing, and steaming into one sleek minimalist machine,” states the company.
All-in-one coffee machines aren’t new; the internet’s full of them, so what makes GrisBrew stand out? “GrisBrew’s concrete exterior uses engineered sand, which provides greater stability and durability. Compared to dredged sand, engineered sand has a lower environmental impact,” the company claims.
The concrete design reminds me of the AnZa espresso machine launched years back on Kickstarter. If AnZa’s backers’ testimonies are any indication, GrisBrew’s concrete could age gracefully. Its compact, minimalist design fits small countertops or spacious kitchens, doubling as a statement piece for coffee lovers who want to show off.
Grisbrew seems to know that looks alone don’t make the cut. This is why it’s packed with features to satisfy serious coffee connoisseurs. It features a built-in grinder that ensures a perfect grind every time, fitting seamlessly into the portafilter for a clean, efficient experience. The machine also allows you to adjust every detail of your brew, from grind size to strength, letting you experiment and customize the coffee to suit your unique taste. Not to mention, a milk steamer that makes it simple to create creamy, rich froth, giving you the power to add that smooth, velvety finish to every cup.
Tech-wise, GrisBrew features seven adjustable grind settings, from fine espresso to coarse pour-over, allowing you to personalize your coffee experience. The machine has a 4-liter water tank that’s double the capacity of what the Mearki or the Espresso Series 1 boast. Other features include a one-liter bean hopper, control knob, touchscreen control panel, built-in timer, and weighing scale that all contribute to delivering the perfect brew every single time.
Beyond looks, the coffee machine features a user-friendly interface. Compared to other Kickstarter coffee machine projects like tech-heavy xBloom, GrisBrew appeals to those who value their coffee gear as much as the brew itself. More could only be clear after we do a hands-on review of the coffee machine.

Irrespective of all these features, it’s the concrete construction that stands tall, promising longevity, reducing appliance waste compared to plastic machines, which crack or fade. That said, Grisbrew isn’t for everyone. If you’re happy with an affordable drip machine, this probably isn’t your gear. But if you want your kitchen to look stylish, GrisBrew could be your next fixation. It’s currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter and can be availed at a super early bird price of $999.
