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.

Battery Insertion FiddlyShaneThe product is good, but inserting the battery required me to watch a YouTube video. That's poor design.
Perfect for lattesAlliWorks well.
Horrible designAbigelForget changing the battery without breaking it every time, cheap plastic with horrible engineering, the cheapest temu one is better than this
PerfectMelanieDoes a great job. Cheap and cheerful
Clumsy DesignRyanThe design for batteries is useless, tried 4 different batteries, made sure to buy fresh ones and still wouldn't work even when batteries were put in correctly.
I knew something was wrong when this product was so cheap
Good not badDoaaNot bad
Terrible design with regards to battery insertionDaveI came very close to breaking this several times while trying to insert the batteries. A search online highlighted many others with the same issue. I also found numerous walk-throughs and video guides to get around the problem. That these are needed to INSERT.THE.BATTERIES is evidence in itself that the design of this is horrendous. Let me say that again, video guides are required to INSERT THE BATTERIES!!!! I do not recommend this product at all
poor quality, the battery cover broke when inserting the batteries, which were difficult to insert anyway, I have never used this deviceGrazynaproduct of terrible quality even for this price
ProduktKelleyVery hard to get batteries into it. Doesn't really froth milk for coffee.

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.
