Aarke Aarke Purifier
A glass carafe and a refillable stainless steel cartridge, which is the right idea. It still isn't plastic-free. Aarke's own materials line lists "food-grade thermoplastic" alongside the glass and steel, and says the pitcher has "details in food-grade plastic and silicone." A detachable silicone bumper ships with it, and the filter granules are ion exchange resin, a polymer bead that sits in the water path. Aarke doesn't say which parts are the thermoplastic. The lid, with its filter-change dial, is the likeliest. It's a fine pitcher for cutting out disposable cartridges. It isn't one for avoiding plastic.
Not listed, so not linked.
- Caveat
- Plastic: an unspecified food-grade thermoplastic in the lid and other details, a detachable silicone bumper, and ion exchange resin granules. A buyer reported a plastic ring in the filter hopper breaking within a week. Unknown: the lid gasket, if any, the base pad, and the granule bag and box materials. The price and the materials list are from Aarke's US store; the Food52 listing could not be loaded.
- Unverified
- Still unverified, and being researched with the maker: lid gasket or seal; base pad, coatings and glue.
- In the box
- One refill bag of Aarke Pure Filter Granules, a detachable silicone bumper, an instruction manual and an Aarke cleaning cloth.
- Made in
- China
