Frequently asked questions.
About Heirloom Project
What is Heirloom Project?
Heirloom Project is an initiative exploring a new way of designing and making home appliances. Our goal is to create high-performance, long-lasting appliances that prioritize repairability, sustainability, and high-quality materials—reducing waste and redefining how home appliances are built and used.
Our first product concept, a drip coffee machine, embodies this vision by focusing on precision brewing, durability, and modular repairability.
Product Features & Development
Where will Heirloom Project products be made?
We are currently exploring North American manufacturing to reduce our environmental footprint, improve quality control, and shorten supply chains. The drip coffee machine is being designed with local sourcing in mind, ensuring higher durability and lower emissions from transportation.
What kind of features will Heirloom Project appliances have?
We are designing our products with a focus on performance, control, and longevity while actively researching customer needs. Our first product, a drip coffee machine, will include:
Precision Temperature Control – Ensuring optimal brewing temperature for rich, full-flavored coffee.
High-Quality Heating System – Energy-efficient technology that delivers consistent performance.
Long-Term Usability – Replaceable filters, modular heating elements, and an easily repairable design.
Since we are still defining the exact feature set based on customer feedback, we encourage potential users to share what they value most in a premium coffee maker!
How long will Heirloom Project appliances last?
We are designing our appliances, starting with the drip coffee machine, to last 20+ years. Our modular design means you can replace key components—like the heating element or carafe—rather than discarding the whole machine.
Sustainability & Repairability
Will Heirloom Project appliances be energy-efficient?
Yes! Our drip coffee machine is being developed with an advanced, energy-efficient heating system that maintains optimal brewing temperature while minimizing power consumption.
Where will replacement parts be available?
If we move into production, replacement parts for our drip coffee machine—such as carafes, heating elements, and water filters—will be available directly from our website.
Will Heirloom Project offer a take-back or refurbishment program?
We are exploring a repair and refurbishment program for our drip coffee machines to keep them in circulation rather than in landfills. Customers will also have the option to return used components for responsible recycling.
Purchasing & Warranty
Where can customers buy Heirloom Project appliances?
We are still in the early testing phase. If we launch, our first product—the drip coffee machine—may initially be available online, with potential retail partnerships in the future.
What kind of warranty will Heirloom Project offer?
We are committed to long-term product support and plan to offer a multi-year warranty on our drip coffee machine, covering essential components like the heating system and carafe.
Will Heirloom Project ship internationally?
Our initial focus will be North America, but we may expand based on demand.
Brand Philosophy
Why does Heirloom Project focus on repairability?
Because home appliances shouldn’t be disposable. Our drip coffee machine is being designed so that you can replace parts instead of replacing the whole machine, ensuring it lasts for years—even decades.
What is Heirloom Project's commitment to sustainability?
Sustainability is at the heart of our mission:
Locally made, responsibly sourced materials to reduce environmental impact.
Minimal waste through repairable, modular design.
No plastic contact with food or beverages, as seen in our drip coffee machine.
Low-energy designs to reduce household energy consumption.
Will Heirloom Project become a B Corporation?
We are exploring B Corp Certification as a long-term goal to ensure that our business meets high ethical and environmental standards.
