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.
Many times, coffee and tea is what keeps you going – or makes you relax. This coffee/tea maker serves your favourite beverages around the clock and in all seasons. Hot and freshly made as it should be!

DANGEROUS - DO NOT BUY THIS! Anonymous reviewerPlease, whatever you do, do not buy this poor-quality French press. If the water is too hot, it will explode. Hot water burst all over my chest, arm and stomach. It hurt like crazy and has left me covered in painful and unsightly burns. My sister-in-law had a similar situation occur with her own Ikea French press. They should discontinue this product. It is a serious hazard. I am only grateful my daughter didn't try to push down the top because she is smaller than I and it could have burnt her beautiful face. DO NOT BUY THIS, FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY!!!!!!!

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.
