About GROSCHE
GROSCHE is a coffee, tea, and hydration brand founded in 2006 in Ontario, Canada by Helmi Ansari and Mehreen Sait, and today operates out of Cambridge, Ontario. It is a Certified B Corporation and a woman-owned, family-run business, with a product line that spans stovetop espresso makers, pour-over brewers, cold brew pitchers, tea infusers, and insulated drinkware alongside its Moka pots.
The company built its identity around its GROSCHE Safe Water Project: it reports funding biosand water filter installations across six countries, with each filter designed to run for decades without electricity or chemicals. That give-back model, combined with its B Corp certification, has drawn coverage as one of Canada's values-driven consumer brands. On the product side, GROSCHE's Milano Moka pot has built up a large base of verified Amazon reviews, evidence of a stovetop espresso maker that holds up to daily household use.

Why we recognized GROSCHE
The Brew Gazette Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our hands-on category reviews. GROSCHE earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: bought, brewed with daily, and judged on what lands in the cup.
GROSCHE products we rated highly
GROSCHE Milano Stovetop Espresso Maker, 6 Cup
The oversized soft-touch handle with a burn guard solves the single most common complaint about traditional Moka pots -- a metal handle mounted inches from an open gas flame -- which is why it's the pot we recommend for households where more than one person makes the coffee. The body is food-grade anodized aluminum rather than bare aluminum, so it resists the pitting and chalky oxidation that wears down a neglected bare-aluminum pot while keeping aluminum's fast, even heat and round flavor profile. GROSCHE also uses a standard 6-cup gasket size, so generic replacement seals from any brand fit it, which is what keeps a Moka pot in service for a decade instead of becoming landfill the first time the seal wears out. It has built up over 25,000 ratings on Amazon at a 4.4-star average.
