  • The KaraPod uses condensed atmospheric water for making coffee
  • It uses a UV light, heat, and replaceable filters to clean the water
  • It will be available to buy soon for $249 (about £200 / AU$400)

We’ve seen lots of interesting ideas at CES 2025, but this one has proved one of the most controversial among the TechRadar team: a coffee maker that works like a dehumidifier and uses water condensed from the air in your home to brew espresso.

The KaraPod is a countertop version of the KaraPure 2 – a machine that condenses atmospheric water and runs it through a purification system that includes heat treatment, UV light, and replaceable filters to produce up to 2.5 gallons (10 liters) of clean drinking water per day. Manufacturer Karawater says that the filtered water has “an unbeatable pH value of 9.2+”, though there’s no strong evidence that drinking alkaline water has real health benefits.
