Making a glass coffee pot is simple and absolutely worth the effort, as you can be sure that it is free of all kinds of plastics and other materials. Here’s how to make it:
Materials Needed

Instructions
- Wear Protective Gear: It is important to wear safety goggles and gloves when cutting the glass coffee pot, as glass can be hazardous when handled incorrectly.
- Clean the Glass: Carefully clean the surface of the glass coffee pot with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust that may be present on the surface.
- Mark Cut Lines: Use the glass cutter to scribe cut lines with an even pressure on the glass. When drawing these lines, make sure that they are in straight lines and not curved.
- Tap Hammer in the Cut Lines: Place the glass coffee pot on the cutting board and use the hammer to tap along the cut lines. Tap the hammer lightly and evenly so that the glass breaks along the lines.

- Avoid Uneven Tapping: When tapping the hammer, make sure the hammer strikes the glass evenly to avoid any breakage outside of the cut lines.
