The Water Machine is a countertop gravity-fed water purifier with an all-glass body and two filters. It needs no plumbing or electricity: you fill the top, water drips through the filters into the glass carafe below. The brand claims the filter pair treats up to 6,000 gallons and removes pathogens and heavy metals, and that it avoids the plastic taste of jug filters. It suits renters and small households who want filtered water without installing an under-sink system. Against under-sink reverse-osmosis systems it is simpler and wastes no water, but it is slower and filters fewer contaminants than RO.

The Water Machine is an all-glass, gravity-fed, countertop water purifier. It holds 3 gallons and comes with 2 black carbon filters. Water passes through the filters by gravity, and the glass body means no plastic taste in the water.
The filters remove pathogens, heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride and other contaminants from drinking water. The pair lasts up to 6,000 gallons, which is almost 11 years at 1.5 gallons a day.
It can sit on the edge of a countertop, on a small bamboo countertop stand, or on a floor stand. Both stands are sold separately. It is sized for 1 to 6 people and is easy to assemble.
