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.

ExcellentAnonymous reviewerThese worked really well at keeping milk cold and coffee hot at a festival for the crew I cater for. So good I have 4! Coffee was still hot in the morning from the evening before!
LeaksAnonymous reviewerI bought this in the past and it was leaking
Used a few times and brokeAnonymous reviewerAfter two uses, things started flaking in the pitcher so I had to throw it away.
Great, useful product!Anonymous reviewerI love these, great for putting on bedside to make a hot drink in morning, or put in car boot for a hot drink whilst out in cold weather etc. I have 2 of these. I have also bought several for other people. They are ridiculously cheap in price too!. :-)
Behind - green/beige vacuum flaskAnonymous reviewerLovely elegant jug flask in a very pretty colour which matches my kitchen.
Water jugAnonymous reviewerLove it looks good really amazing quality
Fantastic Vacuum FlaskAnonymous reviewerBeautiful colour, good capacity and I love how it looks like an elegant, tall jug.
Bad designAnonymous reviewerThis jug looks beautiful but it is too difficult to clean and so I worry about the bacteria that will build up. The photos don’t show it but the opening at the top of the jug is only an inch wide which limits what you can put in the jug and also makes it too hard to clean properly. Please just make it so the lid can come off whole for cleaning in between uses!!
Does what it saysAnonymous reviewerStylish, excellent value vacuum flask.
UseAnonymous reviewerIdeal,
Saves reboiling the kettle for someone with limited leg use
FlaskAnonymous reviewerThe colour is a lovely mint green and would fit in with any design in the kitchen. Keeps liquid well and an easy pour lip. Great value for money and stylish design.
This thing is amazingAnonymous reviewerI have owned many aflask, expensive ones, cheap ones, but this one is the best yet, stylish, keeps stuff hot, or cold, what more do you want?
The Behovd flask is fantastic. Anonymous reviewerThe Behovd flask retains hot water for a long time. And the price is OK.
UnderratedAnonymous reviewerPersonally I loved my hydroflask (lost it lol) premiummm keeps the water hot but it’s abit overwhelming specially when your on the go and tryna take a sip…this one is perfect for at home, still keeps the water hot but not overwhelmingly so i love it and its cute af and 4 quid come onnn excited to try my insulated mug from ikea too, was abit pretentious about their insulated range but seeing from this one it does the job!
I used it for gravy at ChristmasAnonymous reviewerI noted the description on the product and decided I'd get one for hot chocolate and drinks that I didn't need at molten heat. That said, I used this flask for backup gravy at Christmas. Standard gravy boats don't supply the required quantity for large gatherings so I filled it up and everyone was pleased to add hot gravy to their food throughout the meal. The jug has a pleasing design/colour and it does the job. Great value.
Easy to useAnonymous reviewerLighter than appearance easy to fill and carry with clean finish
Excellent value for moneyAnonymous reviewerExcellent value for money! Simple and practical design, no fiddly bits or pieces to mess about with, no excessive silicon parts that can so easily turn black and grimy. We've used the jug daily since last week, contents pour out steaming hot even after more than six hours later.
Excellent flaskAnonymous reviewerHave used one for camping for several years and decided to have one at home. So good.
Classic design at a cheap price Anonymous reviewerWould be nice to get this in other colour options but for the price the design is simple and classic and it works great.
Not keeping warmAnonymous reviewerEven I pre-heated the flask and then put hot water, it could not keep the temperature. After 2 hours, it turns lukewarm. I can feel warm outside the flask which means it spreads the heat. Same as pouring hot water into a general bottle. I don't know it is a problem with quality or product failed. I got the same one a few years ago and it was very good.

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.

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

No matter how you enjoy your cup, you’ll find the things that put an extra flavour 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.
