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.

MattligAnonymous reviewerGreat stainless steel mug, we use for making a cappuccino, great quality
Does the job Anonymous reviewerDoes the job
Stainless steel milk jug Anonymous reviewerLovely shape jug and comfortable to hold, however the heat retention isn’t as good as a slightly smaller jug that we already own.
Barista jug Anonymous reviewerPerfect size to froth milk for my new coffee machine
It’s ok Anonymous reviewerIt’s alright wouldn’t buy it again
Nice but small Anonymous reviewerReally nice jug but too small I was hoping 2 glasses of milk would fit in but not worth £5
Excellent little jugAnonymous reviewerPerfect for using with my milk frother attachment on my coffee maker. Much better price than other shops too.
Value for moneyAnonymous reviewerValue for money and meets the purpose
Nice one.Anonymous reviewerVery pleasing shape, good weight. Can't wait to put it into action.
Solid jug!Anonymous reviewerIt’s such a good solid jug for just £5! Does what it says on the tin and it’s quite sturdy!
Works on our induction stove!Anonymous reviewerThink you’re not exactly meant to, but since it’s stainless steel we can actually warm up the milk or water on our induction stove. Not sure if it’ll work with all but don’t see why not. And although the handle is metal it doesn’t seem to get hot at all.
Lovely little coffee frothing jug!Anonymous reviewerPerfect size for using with our new bean to cup coffee machine.
It’s a metal jug. Hard to know what else to sayAnonymous reviewerIt’s a jug. It’s metal. It performs as expected. I’m happy with it
Perfect kitchen stuffAnonymous reviewerVery nice and useful and with good prices.
Excellent milk frothing jugAnonymous reviewerergonomically designed milk jug, easy to use and clean.
Handle doesn’t stay onAnonymous reviewerI exchanged this jug twice. Every time the handle came off. The final time the handle was already off before I even unwrapped it.
Great sizeAnonymous reviewerThere is no minus for it. Perfect sized, well made milk jug. Enough for one or two coffees
Good quality jugAnonymous reviewerPerfect size to go with my coffee maker for milk foaming.
Nice for serving guestsAnonymous reviewerThis is perfect for when you’ve got many guests to make teas for. Perfect size holds a lot of milk.
Great little jugAnonymous reviewerWe use this jug in a small cafe for Soya milk and it produces a good smooth milk easily. Nice and solid. Really good price, the only thing that it could improve on is a sharper spout for latte art.

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 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.
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.
