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.

Batteries don’t fitAnonymous reviewerTakes AA batteries but they don’t fit as the cover for the batteries prevents them from going in. Waste of money.
OkAnonymous reviewerWorks ok. Very flimsy though so I'm not sure how long it will last. Easy for children to use
The BEST kitchen gadgetAnonymous reviewerCheap, effective, does the job
Powerful little whiskAnonymous reviewerI had to search the reviews just to get the batteries in but once in I find it very powerful, hopefully it will last a while.
Perfect milk frother!Anonymous reviewerWorks well!A must-have in your kitchen, I use it every single time i make my coffee. The battery also lasts for ages!
Good productAnonymous reviewerworks as described
Broke after 3 daysAnonymous reviewerUseless!! Very difficult to insert batteries. 3 staff members could not do it. Finally one did manage. 3 days later the battery cover unattached when I picked it up and wont go back on. Total waste of money.
Lightweight but powerfulAnonymous reviewerGreat item. It takes little room in my kitchen drawer but does the job perfectly. Value for money is outstanding.
SuperAnonymous reviewerGood quality
Milk FrotherAnonymous reviewerI have a iced coffee machine with a milk frother attached, but sometimes I just want an instant coffee so this is ideal for that
Great frotherAnonymous reviewerGreat does the job
Battery installation is a nightmare Anonymous reviewer2 YouTube videos and finally after trying for 30 mins we finally got the batteries in! Froths great once this is conquered!
Once you get the batteries in, it's greatAnonymous reviewerGetting the batteries in is a nightmare! I came to the reviews for help as it comes with no instructions. Put the first battery in + upwards with the bottom angled and then jam the top in under the flap. Then the next one is - upwards and it's a tight squeeze but it fits. Once you've got passed that, it's quite a powerful little thing. I'm not using it for milk, but mixing glazes for ceramics and it works perfectly.
WorksAnonymous reviewerFor what I use it for making my hot chocolates or frothy coffe it is ideal

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.
