- The Aarke premium coffee maker is available in a new finish called Sand
- Soft beige is more subtle than stainless steel and is on trend in 2026
- It’s on sale in the US for $400 and can be pre-ordered for £300 in the UK.
The Aarke coffee maker is one of the best drip coffee makers we’ve tested here at TechRadar and it just got a sleek new look with a soft matte finish called Sand. It’s a refreshing change from the original industrial-looking stainless steel and will fit particularly well in kitchens with wood and earth tones, both of which will “dominate” this year, according to our colleagues at Ideal Home.
“‘Color is calming down,'” says Richard Davenport, CEO of luxury kitchen design company Davenport Kitchen and Home. “We’re seeing fewer stark whites or cool grays and many more mineral tones that change gently with the light.”
When we reviewed the Aarke coffee maker (which can be connected to a grinder to create a complete coffee system), our tester Chris Rowlands called it an “impressive” and “clearly premium” machine that “brews with style.” He praised its clean lines and simplified controls, noting that it “makes a statement on any counter.”

His only complaint about the original stainless steel coffee maker was the fact that its shiny surface tends to show fingerprints, but that’s not a problem with the new Sand finish, which keeps your appliance spotless.

However, the Aarke coffee maker is not only attractive; It’s also a great coffee maker with thoughtful features including a grind size guide on the bean hopper lid, which helps you adjust the grinder, a drip valve that prevents coffee from escaping once the carafe is removed, and a smart heating plate that keeps freshly brewed coffee warm and detects when the maker is removed.
The Aarke coffee maker in sand is on sale now in the US for $400 and can be pre-ordered in the UK for £300, where it will start shipping in May. It’s not available in Australia yet, but the matching Aarke Kettle is on sale for AU$399.
