Malin and her colleagues dug deep into coffee and tea cultures to find out what tools people feel they can’t live without. They talked to specialists and investigated living, eating and drinking habits. “We wanted to develop items that make a difference, so we’ve focused on a few, but carefully selected products,” she states. The team cooperated with IKEA Test Lab in Älmhult, Sweden. It’s an IKEA version of a James Bond lab where prototypes are inspected and evaluated. “A couple of the things we checked were that the thermoses can keep fluids really warm for a long time. And that the glass mugs and glass pots are durable and comfortable, even though they look and feel light and airy,” says Malin.

Perfect All WaysAnonymousFirst glance looks like water runs right through quick; BUT NOT SO, I use a non-dyed filter, pour one full load of water, LET COFFEE BLOOM, coffee expands, water Then runs a steady slow. Filter never folds over like in ceramic pour overs. Only suggestion; handle a little longer, hard to hold onto.
What am I doing wrong?RegnardI was excited to get this filter, and the first cups of coffee were terribly made. I'm thinking I must be using the wrong kind of coffee (I'm using store-bought ground coffee).
excellent filterMoniqueI don't drink coffee but still use this everyday to filter my homemade soy milk. It works perfectly for that task too. Thanks IKEA!
7 years and still in great condition KaitlynI bought this on a whim and 7 years later I’m still using it at least a couple of times a week. Though I’ve tried other coffee makers, I always go back to pour over. I prefer to use a bamboo filter (easier to clean), but it does work well without if you get a custom ground coffee for this brewing method.
Strainer CatherineExcellent! My daughters make cold brew coffee and needed a strainer . What they were using was not the best. I found the ovest on your site and it is perfect. It has the fine strainer and the funnel which is perfect. I would recommend it .
metal coffee filter TheresaNever used a metal coffee filter. The grounds I used went right through the filter!
Disappointed in performanceClarkI liked the price and the idea that one could avoid using disposal filters for coffee. That said, I found that the screen allowed a high amount of fine coffee particles through into my cup, and also that the water flowed through so quickly that I don't think it had time to brew. Disposed of the item quickly.
The best pour over I’ve ever made at home! BethThis makes the strongest! And fastest! pour over.
I love love love it.
No more paper filters, dishwasher safe.
Some coffee settles in the bottom of your cup, but that doesn’t bother me at all.
disappointingPhillippadespite the fine mesh, it just pours through too quickly regardless of slow pour over and makes super watery coffee.
Good for filtering oilPhilipGood for filtering oil
Seems cheaply madeMarjorieServes the purpose, but the construction leaves something to be desired.
It's okayBrendaStill need to use a coffee filter, otherwise water will just quickly run through
Quick easy pour overBlainehappy with the easy use stainless cone and quick clean up.. just wish the base would turn and lock to make it more secure.
Not so greatJenI love that it is stainless steel and the mesh is super fine. But the funnel is annoying on a cup. Probably great for using over a carafe.
My son has a coupleMargaretMy son has a couple goats and he uses it to strains the milk. So far it works perfectly.
I love itRoohiI love it
Just not what I expected.TracyJust not what I expected. The end of the funnel is way too long.
Excellent value for a greatCurtisExcellent value for a great product at a great price
Random but UsefulEthanImpulse purchase, I really wasn't sure I needed - but I actually use it a lot. It has a nice fine screen so obvious pour over coffee maker, but I use it to strain teas and spices from mulled juices.
Best Invention!!KarinWorks wonderful.
No more spending money in Paper coffee filters👍

Story
A better everyday one cup at a time
Have you had coffee or tea today? Statistically, you most likely have. In fact, these hot brews are the most consumed beverages in the world next after water. They’re a part of life that can give a silver lining to any moment. That’s why we decided to update our selection of products to make that perfect cup – from the tea infuser and the kettle to the milk frother.
Malin Ljungström, who was involved in developing the range, shares her insights. “To many, the smell of coffee and tea means well-being and a homey feeling. Since we want to improve people’s everyday, we’re offering products that make it possible for more to experience more feelgood moments at home.”
Developing things that make a difference
For all tastes and different wallets
No matter how you enjoy your cup, you’ll find the things that put an extra flavor to your drink in the range. Another good thing is that there’s something for all wallets. “It’s one of our contributions to a better life at home. A way to improve people’s everyday one cup at a time,” concludes Malin.
Material
What is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing things – without losing its valuable properties.

"We`ve always been interested in coffee and tea and we got to be really nerdy during this assignment. We wanted to make generous, functional and true products that focus on the drink. A kitchen full of gadgets doesn`t make it easier to get the right taste- instead we focused on a few things with really good quality. With these products you can make the perfect cup- and enjoy good coffee and tea whenever you like"
