25. Many people ask about coffee machines with various parts, some made of plastic, and others, e.g., pipes, a heating element, etc., made of metal. Some machines also have a coffee bean grinder inside which requires tevila without a bracha (ערוה"ש ס"ל , פתח"ת סק"ח ).
26. Simple model. Some models are simple and small and are moved when necessary. These can be toiveled without breaking if they are not used before they are fully dried, which can be done by leaving them in a hot area or the sun for five days. These must be toiveled.
27. Sophisticated model. However, other models are sophisticated and consist of many different parts. They operate via electronic control cards which will definitely break if toiveled. Also, due to their size and weight, they are not moved from their set spot. Some poskim hold one may rely on the fact that they do not require tevila at all – since they have their own set place, they are not considered dishes used at meals [כלי סעודה ], and also, the owner is in a state of oneis regarding tevila (מו''ר בעל שבט הקהתי ). However, some poskim hold they really must be toiveled. But one can rely on the above solutions, e.g., having a Jew take it apart (24) or permanently transferring ownership to a non-Jew and using it on loan from the non-Jew (23).
