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.

Cheap, working product. But putting batteries in takes 2 stars offTobyIt takes AA batteries that Ikea sells in store. Great!
I use it to mix preworkout (i know i'm a lazy sucker) and make matcha lattes at home. Mixes things great!
Overall a great product for 4 bucks (at least at the time of writing this review)
So why 2 stars off?
It looks like the engineers at Ikea never actually tried to use this product themselves. You cannot put 2 AA batteries in this thing with the conducting plastic door in the way. You would think you just slide the door and rotate it out of the way, but no it interferes with the 2nd batter placement.
Trying to pry the door off to make room for the battery gives a huge risk of breaking the small plastic pivot hinge.
I only got this thing to work by accidentally breaking the whole thing apart, re-assembling the whole thing with the batteries in it, and then the product works.
So yea this things works. But you really have to mess around with it/break it and rebuild it to make it work.
Batteries don’t fit. Now it doesn’t workMarcelaIt took me a long time to figure out how to insert the batteries. The lid is poorly designed. After a good 20 min trying, it worked. Next day it stopped working. Tried different batteries. Still, doesn’t work. Broken.
Must have itemKarenWe use this multiple times a day for many drink items and to make a Puppacino for our little guy.
HorribleMaddeleneCan’t get the batteries in. Feels very cheap (well it was) and bad quality… Goes straight in the trash
Weirdly hard to get batteries inCourtneyI just spent 15 minutes trying to get batteries into this. I finally achieved this goal but only by nearly pulling the thing apart and only after removing the top piece, which, once removed, is only possible to get fully back on...once the batteries are removed. I got the produkt to work but the top piece is jammed in with one edge sticking up. Something is very wrong with the design.
Excellent deviceJenniferWe use this for everything. Mixing up freshly made broth, mixing up cheese for Mac n cheese, powdered drinks, garlic rice. Many many uses
Straight to the garbageJohnI’d love to know which genius thought to themselves “let’s make a product that people want to buy, but is literally impossible to use!” I bought this piece of garbage, and once I got to putting some batteries in there, what do you know, they cannot both physically go in! I placed one in, it got caught on the cap, because that genius who designed this decided the cap should go inwards to the battery slot, even though there is only enough space for the length of one battery to fit between it. I wasted my money on this junk. I’m sure a kindergartner could make something that works better than this.
Batteries won’t fitRobertI’m surprised with all the negative reviews on this product that it is still offered for sale. Simply put, when the cover for the batteries is open, a lip prevents the second battery from being inserted. This product seems up have not been put through the simplest of product testing. I bought it in Michigan, and noticed it is not offered for sale in my local Maryland store nor for delivery so maybe it’s being pulled.
It works and it’s a bargain for $3SallieI bought several of these in the past for $2 and they quickly died. The $3 model seems to doing great so far.
no battery is compatible to thisPratikshanot AA batteries, not AAA batteries, not even the bigger 9v batteries are compatible to this. had to just throw it away
The battery installment is the only problemYayoiThe batteries installation required a lot of effort. You have to really push the first battery inside and even after the second one goes in, now you have to really push the cover so that it closes. I was afraid it might break, which many who bought this might experience. I also wondered if the AA batteries were the right ones to use. This was a bit of a rare frustrating experience while I love IKEA for the ease of assembling furnitures overall.
FrotherLuisWorks great
Low quality and UselessBhadreshThere battery compartment does not accommodate 2 AA batteries. There are no instructions available anywhere. I will be returning this product
FrotherKatherineBatteries flop around inside compartment
Never workedHildaRather disappointed with this purchase which is extremely rare when buying from Ikea. The product ended up being very flimsy, with the battery compartment not holding the battery well and as a result, the item not working.
Floppy stirrer KatherinaIt requires AA batteries and not able to install.
So nice, purchased twiceMegan2nd purchase of this frother. So nice, purchased twice.
Great cheap optionWillSurprisingly dependable given how cheap it is!
Battery Installation Difficulties!PerryAfter spending 20 frustrating minutes wrestling with this thing, I finally figured how to install the batteries. You have to make certain the first battery “clicks” into place by pressing it firmly toward the inner wall at the hinged end of the cap. If you don’t do this, there won’t be room for the second battery. BUT, the opening really isn’t large enough for most human beings to do this with a finger, so you’ll need use something rigid and thin enough to reach inside the casing. I used a specialized knife I happen to own. Whatever you use, it is NOT easy and there is no intuitive way to know what is required. IKEA definitely should redesign this product, making battery installation simpler. The good news is it does work once you figure out how to install the batteries.
Got a coupleHarpreetOne for me n one for mom, we both love these little frothers from IKEA cuz these are good for small coffee mugs. The others from big brands are great n super fast but they make a mess n overspill the liquids from mugs. Good for jugs though. So i stick with this for my morning milk coffee :)
