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.

Not badAnonymousI bought this product a week ago.We use it for tea. It changes the tast of the green tea.
AnonymousLoving it. I'm a slow tea drinker, and it keeps my tea warm for hours.
Good thermo poor lidAnonymous reviewerThe thermo kettle is well insulated and keep water warm for a long time. It works perfectly until the lid handle is broken. It is not easy to turn the lid. Often we use the handle as a lever. Only if the design of the lid could be improved and user may less endeavor to turn it. Suggestion to IKEA: sold the lid separately in a lower price or improve the design to help the lid to turn.
Perfect Flask!ShalinThis is a perfect size flask for our family. The drink stay hot for a few hours. The only improvement I would recommend is the lever: it feels a bit too thin for the type of flask.
Keeps morning coffee hotAnonymousBought this to replace an older thermos for keeping our coffee hot for later in the day. Works really well and looks cute on my counter!
Good productPMaintains temperature well. Really like it doesn't have a glass liner for the durability.

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.
