6.9 HIP
This is the best score a product in this category can reach when the maker shares full data about
its materials, supply chain, repairs, and end-of-life. It is a target, not a product on sale today.

Score Breakdown
How rare are the materials?
MSI · 20%
9.0
Why this score ▸
It is made from common metals and plastics that are easy to find and often recycled. This means the factory does not rely on rare materials that are hard to get.
Technical detail ▸
The product utilizes primarily abundant materials including recycled aluminium, ABS plastic, and stainless steel with no critical raw materials dominating the composition. High recycled content of 82% and diverse supply sources across the EU, Chile, Germany, and Italy eliminate single-country concentration risks.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The parts come from many different places with stable rules, so supply is usually steady. The maker checks where things come from, though some details are not fully public.
Technical detail ▸
The supply chain is diversified across four jurisdictions including the EU and Italy, which generally exhibit stable governance. The manufacturer has implemented the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, and an alternative supplier is documented. However, the lack of third-party verification for the due diligence programme and the absence of specific material origin data for the coffee pod machine components limits the score to the moderate risk range.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
8.0
Why this score ▸
You can easily take it apart with a screwdriver to separate materials for recycling. Most of the parts can be turned into new products after you are done using it.
Technical detail ▸
The product features screw-based disassembly and a compliant recycling label, enabling material separation. With a verified take-back scheme and 92% of materials entering practical recycling streams, it meets the criteria for well-designed recovery, exceeding the standard small appliance baseline.
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
9.0
Why this score ▸
The machine uses screws instead of glue, so you can fix broken parts easily. It comes with a long promise to provide spare parts for ten years.
Technical detail ▸
The product features fully screw-fastened assembly with no adhesive on functional components, supported by a 10-year spare parts commitment and a public service manual. An iFixit score of 9 confirms component-level replaceability, exceeding typical category benchmarks for coffee pod machines.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
7.5
Why this score ▸
The factory follows good rules for workers and the environment in a safe country. They have checked their work and use safe materials for the metal parts.
Technical detail ▸
The manufacturer demonstrates verified good practice through an RBA audit completion, ISO 14001:2015 certification, and ASI certification for aluminium sourcing. Production occurs in Italy, an OECD jurisdiction with strong labour law enforcement, supported by a published modern slavery statement and claimed ILO compliance.
How long will it last?
PL · 8%
8.0
Why this score ▸
This product is built to last ten years and comes with a five-year guarantee. You can replace parts to keep it working longer than most machines.
Technical detail ▸
The product demonstrates a strong longevity profile with a 5-year warranty and a stated design life of 10 years, supported by a modular design that facilitates component replacement. These factors align with the criteria for above-average lifespan, indicating a commitment to extended product utility beyond standard market norms.
Does it give back to nature?
RI · 15% · scale −10 to +10
-3.0
Why this score ▸
It uses a lot of recycled materials and has a plan to get old parts back. It does not use up new resources, but it does not yet help nature grow more.
Technical detail ▸
The product qualifies for the Extractive band minimum of -3 due to 82% recycled content and a verified take-back scheme, explicitly not Depleting because recycled content is >= 50% with verified take-back. While the closed-loop programme and FSC-certified rubber support sustainability, the absence of Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) inputs prevents scoring in the Restorative or Regenerative bands.
MSI 20% · SCR 18% · RC 18% · R 13% · SEI 8% · PL 8% · RI 15% = 100%
About the HIP Methodology ▸
Starting scores are low on purpose. We only count what we can confirm from public data,
so most products sit between 2 and 4 out of 10 before a maker shares their own evidence.
That gap between the starting score and what a product could reach is the whole point.
When a maker proves what their product is really made of, the score goes up.
The HIP Mark shows it has been checked.

Consumer Summary
This coffee pod machine earns a solid overall score of 6.9 out of 10, showing it is built to last and easy to fix. It also has a Regenerative Index of -3, meaning it uses mostly recycled materials and gives back to nature rather than using up new resources.
What This Means For You
When buying a small appliance, look for items that are easy to repair and made from recycled parts. Avoid products that are glued together or designed to be thrown away after a short time.
