NordVPN, company that had data center breach and for a year pretended that nothing has happened. I think improving online privacy is not usually achieved by leaking credentials...
I would love if they made AeroPress more accesible. It is quite cheap now, but with IKEA it would be half the price 😅
I want them to sell me the metal filter part of the glass french press, because everything is still whole except the filter that has started to fray and I don’t want to buy a new press because of a 5 cm metal filter
So here i am sitting in my bed at 2am wacthing a well dressed british man get upset about coffee, and im okay with it
Dude same!

"That pour over... is trash, is made out of trash".
Those IKEA glass french presses are sturdier than they look. One farm, three or four large dogs, four kids from 7 to 17, occasional adult tantrums, and years later it's still intact.
Wait are you not sure whether you own 3 or 4 dogs? Are you unsure of the existence of the fourth?

@@emiellr Maybe one of them moved or passed
@@user-lz5kh5zn3r Then he would have said "three to four large dogs," wouldn't he?
Mine just broke after years and years of active service. 😝 Guess the first thing I did the next day… Yup! Went to IKEA and bought the exact same type again. Really hoping for at least the same number of years of brewing coffee in my “Upphetta” 😊
James: I hate all this stuff
Also James: These are all prizes for my faithful viewers.
🤣🤣🤣
I cackled

My wife overheard me watching this and thought I was watching Winnie The Pooh. And now I can't stop hearing it.
Please do a honey review.
Yes anything honey process plz

That's awesome! Winnie the Pooh goes to Ikea and reviews every coffee item.

@@rustyjust Ga$ Money" by Xavy Rusan
So I restarted the vid to hear it... oh yeah.
I have the cheap french press....works since 6 years - day in day out - two times a day.
I didn't realize someone was using the funnel filter for coffee. I use it strain deep fry oil after I am done with it. Works great for that!
That's a f*ing amazing idea to filter the oil you (re)use for preparing a Spanish Tortilla de
Patatas!
I usually buy standard coffee filters for draining my fried foods, better, and cheaper than paper towels !
"I'm not that shallow and vain. . . despite . . . the hair" hahahaha
Proceeds to develop strong, "conflicted" emotions about the Moka Pot for being deal-breakingly "ugly" and "hideous," despite it working perfectly fine...
I rarely laugh out loud watching anything but that line got me
15:01 "If you dont' think this is hideous it's not bad" I might put that as the tag line on my Tinder profile.
Funny thing is I love the look of that Moka Pot.
I only unliked your comment to keep it at 666
the lines on the glass pourover are instantly understood by every swede. every marking is the right amount of water for one "coffee spoon" of grounds in the filter.
I think they forgot the rest of the world when making it.
@@SaphireTech wouldn't be the first time a designer was home blind.
1.5dl standard cups is not just a Swedish thing. For an example, I checked Moccamaster's US site and the cup markings are there just like on my Swedish one. About 7 g coffee/cup, 2 cups/person.
wouldn't hurt to say that somewhere in the box or something, since they do sell these outside of Sweden.
James reviewing cheap IKEA coffee stuff is just his way of doing a standup show for the coffee world. 😂😂😂
He needs content, or the channel is dead.
his community, coffee noobs, experimenting still. Are they go this low, or is he telling them, never go this low?
What are his followers? experienced people don't need him.
@@lucasrem that’s very analytical but his content is good. If I even open a coffee shop would live to have this man as my coffee consultant
It still sucks. Bought one took it back next trip to ikea.bought a Bodum carafe with metal filter at wally world unspeakably better than ikea poop funnel....
Sometimes the algorithm spits out the coolest creators you didn't know you needed
ItsDylanHere I never thought about it that way. Thank you.
Totally agree lol
All hail the algorithm!
yes
Same. I don’t even drink coffee.
Please review more bad things, it totally lifts my mood seeing someone else get upset about spouts that don't focus water properly. I feel like my pain is halved. Thank you for this.
15:17!
Catharsis and validation as amazing salves.
A trouble shared is a trouble halved 🤣
Yes, the spout has one simple task and fails at it. I hate when design is more important than function. They should fire the designer that came up with this.
I've had that IKEA glass french press for almost 7 years now. It's been my daily coffee maker in that time and still going strong!
They might use lighter/cheaper materials now, since yours is a lot older than his.
@@Adderkleet It's borosilicate glass, so It's relatively sturdy in spite of being rather thin- especially with regards to thermal resistance. Just as long as you don't drop it- it will be fine.
My gf uses this model at work and they already broke 4 of these :D
"That definitely is a cup. That has a lid. And is a pound." I laughed out loud.
I can’t figure out if this guy is 20 or 50 years old
Yes.
Some people go completely grey in their early 30's, but then there's some people who just dye their hair this color. Maybe he does a bit of both.
Antraeus my dad was one of those people that had completely grey hair by his mid-30’s. A lot of people thought i was his grandkid and not his daughter lmao
I had a similar question when I first began watching James. He enjoys styling his hair, makes occasional reference to it, but I think the age question goes beyond the grey hair. Looking at his 2007 Barista Championship video, I am tempted to ask, "Is he 12 or 30?" In any event, it furthers an image of a man of mystery and intrigue.
He's 39 years old according to Google lol
I am officially the clumsiness person of the world and managed to keep alive my Ikea glass french press for over two years now. Those things aren't as fragile as they seem, and they cost half of what something at the same quality costs.
Yeah, we had one for 5 years, pretty sturdy. It only broke when my brother was carrying it and tripped over and threw it against a wall. It did break then, but most glass with hot liquids in wove do that I think.
Totally agree ☺️
Same! I've bought one in the last two years, they're pretty sturdy!
I had the opposite problem with the glass French press from Ikea. However, to be fair, I did the same with a Bodum. That's why I have only metal French presses now. I had an incident where I broke the damn thing washing dishes and was barefoot. I had to yell at my wife to come in and get the broom. I was trapped by a circle of broken glass.
made my comment and then saw yours, so true!
I come from a chemistry background, and we often 'flute' (multiple folds) our filter paper so that it doesn't stick to the walls of the funnel, and therefore block the filtrate from exiting the paper. Highly suggest you try that.
Thank you
Thanks!
Or simply not used paper filters when the included filter is perfectly fine. This whole "review" is a joke.
Its meant to be a joke buddy.@InXLsisDeo
I’ve had an IKEA French press for 6 years - in fact I have 3 sizes and they are still going strong!
Same here. The glass one. It's actually strong, it won't break easily if you don't drop it. It's pretty obvious that this reviewer is very heavily biased against IKEA stuff. Too much snobbishness. And yes, when you buy a product that will contain food, rinse it before use, it's literally in the "manuals".
@@InXLsisDeo yeah he;s gay so that should explain some level of snobbishness
Same here - except. mine - the metal one - is 12 years old.

"chunky boi" - "hot, clean, good"
Meet the Gordon Ramsay of coffee
I believe it is properly expressed as "Chonky Boi"
Except one thing is missing,... a tonne of expletives.
@@FirstLastOne haha agreed
Nah james is far more even tempered
"This coffee beans' still RAWWW!"
"WHERE'S THE CREMA!?"
This is still my favorite 17 minute piece of art. James being sassy sprinkled with hearing him say “chonky boi” brings me more joy than nearly anything.
I thought he was taking the piss when he first said it, initially I couldn't believe it would actually be called that, but then again anything goes. Nothing should really surprise me, last time I was there, I got a floor protection mat called Kolon. Funnily enough dirt stuck to it like shit to a blanket.
5:30
If you have closed captions on, it even spelled chonky boi right
Its like a meme video of james hoffmann, except its not
I am not sure is this is scripted or improved but either way it’s a good watch. I’m sure James can do some sort of short coffee related comedy routine.
I’ve been on a few different medications for my mental health in the past, but by far the best antidepressant I have ever had is hearing James Hoffmann call a coffee thing a Chonky Boi.
I agree!
5:31
16:05
Omg I have just realised it is actually called Chonky Boi. I thought he was joking and was hoping he‘d say the name.
Why everyonebin these comments depressed?
This guy looks like how coffee looks like if it was a person
This is the most sarcastic and condescending set of reviews I've ever heard. I love it.
"I feel like they're mocking me. And you. And everyone."
A swed actually commented to say those lines represent cups of coffee, one cup is 150ml, I thought so too!
"It HATES me "
That is a good one and it made me laugh so bad.
He's a coffee snob the type that likes his coffee served by a barista called Marco who personally signs his paper cup
@@surfaceten510n nah he just known his coffee stuff. and yeah, of course he's gonna comment on the cheap things that ikea rushed or didnt pay attention to? it's'a review specifically catered to coffee drinkers seeing if cheap ikea stuff is worth getting if you don't want to get snobby expensive items. plus, he does it in a fun way, not a condescending way (e.g. mocking people for buying the items)
edit: well except the funnels. that deserves to be mocked
That beat during the IKEA shopping goes hard.

"Goes hard" ??? Please explain what you mean by this...
nikolai massenkoff he means that its lit. Fire. It drops harder than my self respect during corona quarantine.
Right?!
Gas money - real solid bop if you ask me
A friend who had the glass and metal IKEA press pot for a dozen years bequeathed it to me on her move to Seattle back in 2016. With me it lasted until last year when I inadvertantly tapped it with a spoon. Fifteen, sixteen years all tolled, and then a sad passing, but miraculous! For any IKEA product to last that long, even four years with me, is a miracle.
I have lots of IKEA products that have lasted me more than 12 years and are still going strong : all my furniture (including HEMNES stuff and bed, and leather couch, and nearly all the kitchen products (I don't buy the non stick cookware, that never lasts, no matter the brand), and I bought my glass french press 2 years ago, no issue whatsoever. The only thing I might change this year is my mattress, but after 12 years, it's pretty standard.
My family had the metal one (used it for tea though) since I was a kid and I'm 20 now!!! Some ikea stuff is really underrated
I don't think the last brewing thing is ugly, I like how it looks odd and the look reflects the function. It would look great in a log cabin.
Here comes the highly anticipated Hoffmann's rant that will brighten up your day. His frustration is to everyone's enjoyment.
The pain is why I'm here
I cackled like a witch as he shredded into the equipment. kekeke.
A little bit of schadenfreude never hurt anyone 😹
10:55 "I'm not an entirely, you know, surface level person, but... but... I'm not that shallow and vain... despite... the hair". *contemplates life choices*
Lol I was looking for this comment
I'm glad I'm not the only one who loved that comment! 🤣
I've been using the chunky boy French press for about 10 years. Bought it at Ikea in Shanghai. I actually use it more for tea brewing in recent years, but I'm amazed and pleased to say that after thousands of uses that rubber seal on the strainer is still holding up. mine is a bit better polished than yours, but I would agree it is the best coffee device Ikea sells.
I bought the glass French press and IKEA has definitely upgraded it since your review. The filter parts are now all metal and it feels extremely sturdy!
I have the glass one for an year , it is full metal as well.
They have always been all metal.
@@GoogleUser-li4ybyep, mine is full metal as well
He seems so refined like he would judge me and it wouldn't even be to be rude. It would just be fact.
No. He is a condescending smug twat.... Believe me he does come across as rude....and would look down on what you are, drank and wore...
@@xr6lad one of the things he says in lots of videos where he reviews things is stuff like. "I'm not into it but if you are good for you" like he's genuinely a lovely person, you are very mistaken.
@@natestertf757 BUT...if you are "not very good" - he will promptly let you know.
@@xr6lad Sorry bud you are just wrong. James is states many times the difference between his passion and being condescending. Just because you arent into coffee the way he is doesn't automatically make him smug. He is a great voice in coffee not his fault you are too sensitive to tell the difference
I want a t-shirt that says: “All carafes are bad carafes.”
Bring on that merch!
But wine decanters
The carafe comments had me laughing out loud. 😆
Does it pour? *splghhrhtlflglrssshpffrt* No.
I actually love that pour over funnel thing. Not for pour over coffee thought. But it is a great reusable filter for cold brew and fry oil filtering. The funnel also fits in normal bottle spout.
The music choice for the intro and outro is just *chef's kiss*
I cant stop laughing. CHÖNKY BØI
Hrmpff! As a swede I am offended. It is spelled Chånky böi, NOT Chönky Bøi!!
"Ø" isn't even a swedish letter!!! 😡

@@xrubyxlightx being honest though, it's a tjånki böi or something like that, it's swedish afterall^^
As an American, I'm sure it surprises no one that when he said "this is 20 pounds" A part of my brain immediately thought "wow that's heavy" before it got slapped by the other part of my brain. Now I'm thinking about a 20lb hand grinder, what the hell would it need to be made out of? uranium?
Thank you for the video, I was tempted to buy some cheap coffee stuff last time I was at Ikea (since I am a poor college student), but I think I'm going to hold out for something more expensive when I have more disposable income.
I think this is a sign for IKEA to get The Hoff to be their Coffee Making Product Consultant.

That spöût, though.
Actually, I like the Ikea coffee. They have a couple of brews, I've tried them all and it's a decent quality coffee for a very good price. Nothing fancy, but will do as a coffee fix in the morning.
I used to own a Bodum Chambord French press, that is until my wife started making tea in it. She didn’t warm the glass before adding the boiling water and shattered it. I picked up a French press at IKEA as a temporary replacement and I actually like it. It’s not the best, but it does produce a decent coffee. A little more grounds make it through the filter and I don’t especially care for the plastic, but it served its purpose quite well until I found a more decent replacement. I still use it from time to time.
What was the replacement, if i may ask?
If you haven’t had a Bodum that shattered from normal use, have you really lived?
Hahaha I love the fact that you went shopping at IKEA with a gangster beat

It's not just a James Hoffmann video, it's a 17 minute James Hoffmann review video.
But it's not just a James Hoffmann review video...it's a James Hoffmann multi-review video!
Christmas has come early. Thank you for this.
This was the first James Hoffman video I watched back in April 2020. I bought that stovetop brewer and was looking for how to use it/review. Deep into the coffee world now, this channel broaden my mind.
I‘m using the cheap ikea french press for like 5 years now. I also have a more expensive one but the cheap ones works perfectly well and I didn’t break it in all those years despite being not extremely cautious.
Hi James, the reason you're having trouble with the metal pour-over 'funnel' is because you used a paper filter. If you had used the included metal filter, the ridges on the funnel lifts it slightly away from the sides, allowing water to drain better. When you use paper, it sticks to the side too much and forcing the liquid to drain only through the small hole at the bottom.
B4 using new factory items sir, have u first washed them well enough
🙉👨🦲🙊🙇🙈⬆️
So the water drains through the sides before it gets to the coffee?
This filter sucks. Returned on next trip to ikea. Bought a Bodum carafe with a metal filter from wally world. Works.
I guess could've kept the ikea filter to strain motor oil or liquid fertilizer....🤔
I've had the small IKEA French press for a couple of years to make coffee at work and have no complaints. It does what it's designed to do and hasn't broken yet.
true! The mesh grill actually does the job. I could not tell the different between Ikea and Bodum!
Maybe it doesn’t really matter for uncultured people like us 😂 as long as we get coffee out of it, we’re happy
Yup, similar results here.
Same. Mine works great. French press is one of those things that doesn't have to be fancy.
I immediately knew there would be a patriots' corner somewhere in the comments. Didn't need to look for it for too long, either :D
I just discovered your channel. You are a hoot! I love all the info. I am just now getting into coffee and I feel like I have so much to learn. I am really enjoying the learning process, and your videos are so helpful!
When that beat drops with the British coffee guru walking through a Swedish box store. I felt that
"It's definitely a cup...that has a lid..." reminded me of when people say "Now that's a baby," to an ugly baby.
My grandma says this! 🤣
Thankfully she didn't say that to me when my daughter was born 😂
Brilliant 😆 🤣
😭
🤣
James calling the French press the chonky boi absolutely ruined me xD
What he refers to as the 'Chönky Bøi' is called the 'ANRIK' (Rich in heritage), but the coffee/tea maker doesn't seem available in North America. It is available in Europe, India, Australia, and probably other areas.
The use of ö suggests to me that James knows how to correctly pronounce ø, which I do not. Yet.
@@EmyrDerfel Neither did he! :D
I don't get why so many people think IKEA uses Danish and Norwegian letters. That would be so weird. No Ø or Æ, only Å, Ä and Ö.
@@fheedpexx9267 I had no idea they were even in different character sets
I really like the glass french press from ikea because they also have a baby sized version for brewing just one cup which is perfect for my one cup of morning coffee. Also I've had it for a year now and haven't destroyed it yet, so the glass is perfectly fine, if you don''t intend to take the thing camping or anything.
I have that one too, very cheap and imo it doesn’t feel cheap and has yet to break, but maybe they upgraded them since the filter on mine is entirely metal
Fun fact that Glass French Press ive had one for around 3 Years now, and it has held up to Drops, Taps and all sort of stuff.
I've neever even gotten it to chip in normal use let alone break.
meanwhile mine broke while washing it ._.
The IKEA travel cup has been recalled by IKEA for safety concerns due to leaching plastic.
You may want to add a note in the video description.
Only the ones made in India, though.
Most plastic leaches xenoestrogens, even the so called "safe" plastic. BPA-free just means it's BPA free. They replace BPA with other chemicals that are as bad or worse, just not as well studied.
Only a specific type that was made in India, we still sell the same design that is made elsewhere that does not actively try to poison you.
Good to know.
@@MrFreeGman Fairly true, personally I just use a Bodem stainless steel travel cup and avoid all the plastic worry.
i own many IKEA open design recalled products.
the Childsave Wall Power hybs are the best, Fire, instant melting.
nobody inside is caring, they only do recalls, not able to release good products.
Pro tip. Those 50 cent glasses make great coffee cupping cups!
And they're cheap, you can smash them in disgust when cupping a particular bad batch.
Everson Bernardes exactly
Ngl, I think that moka pot is pretty rad, even though it looks kinda wonky and inelegant, its function-first design really appeals to my pragmatic side. And I really dig those clear glass mugs, very simple and understated yet distinguished due to their little pinch-block handle.
This is my favorite low stakes youtube channel and I'm so glad I started watching it (and now going back to enjoy older videos as well)
I've had the glass french press for about 3 years. It's actually really rugged and can take some hits. It's solid enough to use daily.
James, you prob won't read this, but for anyone that does - that weird funnel pour over thing - The metal filter in that is a FANTASTIC micro mesh filter. We use it a lot to filter things like chicken stock. It's fantastic. It also fits into an 8 cup chemex (which you don't like very much) quite well, in lieu of the paper filter. I actually like it pretty well as a pour over tool, but I understand that it's confusing. It is, however, very versatile. Cheers!!
Great to know next time we make chicken stock coffee.
.🤔
I use it to brew tea in a cup, and love it.
@@hokehinson5987 I use it to filter chicken stock. But, it’s cool that you can make snarky comments on RUclips and all, son.
I've bought a used one via Ebay (bc not available anymore from IKEA) to filter hot olive oil back into its bottle after frying potato slices for a Spanish tortilla. The wobbly "annoying plate" can be removed by turning it 90°. Perfect 👍

The hugmadog?!?
Oh, Högmodig.
As a swede, I'm here to tell you that the lines on the side are "coffeecups" aka "kkp". That's 150 ml each. times 4 for 600 ml.
I had no idea -- this must be why a 4-cup Mr. Coffee machine is 20oz or ~600ml of coffee (instead of 8oz x 4)!
O that is very insightful. Thanks for sharing.
Goodness I was hoping a swed would know what those lines were, and indeed they do!
I have to know why that’s just known.
Do you guys have a specific thing you need to measure 150ml of often?
@@EllyValentini It's often used in old recipes, and as you can see, coffee machines. One standard coffee cup is 150 ml.
You gotta have standards.
The best possible comeback for IKEA about it will be if they invited James to design coffee related stuff properly
Nah, their power move would be to cancel the ones he liked.
Reviewing products is one thing, designing them is another...
@@peema10 Is this comment noting that most of their coffee apparatus has been discontinued?
The IKEA designers get their assignments to design things for a budget. Now imagine James with that as a first priority.
@@roothik nope.
I’m 3 years late watching this. But I do wonder if IKEA renamed that French press to James’ preferred name for it. Lol

Lmfao I laughed at that bit as well
This is my first James Hoffman video watching experience. I want James Hoffman to review everything in the world.
I just discovered the joy of James on all things coffee. I absolutely love his presentation. Enjoyable start to finish. Fantastic, fun and fab ☺☺☺
I have the funnel and love it. It's meant to use on top of a cup or mug, so the bottom tube isn't in the way. I like that the round thing comes off, it makes it easy to clean. I actually don't use it for coffee. I use it for straining other stuff. For example, straining fruit puree while making strawberry vinegar.
I have it as well and love it! We actually do use it for coffee (with a paper filter) and it’s great. The funnel is awesome for putting on top of a carafe without getting coffee everywhere 😊
This was absolutely hilarious. The “why not” purchases, the music, the gangster slow-mo walk, the reviews. All of it.
James about IKEA coffee products (especially caravs):
"My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined."
I was trying to stop myself because I do it too much now. However, I just can't resist, so......
Shut up and eat your shrimp.
Except the chonky boi. Chonky boi is 👌
My God. I stumbled on this video by chance and I’ve never laughed so hard at a coffee-related video. Thank you so much for the laughs. Cheers
I actually really like the french press! (The glass one) We got it a while ago because i wanted to start making some more flavourful coffee in less than the 30 minutes our machine takes and for a beginner like me, i feel it really holds up well! I do pre-heat it to prevent as much sudden cold to hot damage i can, but other than that, i'm extremely pleased with it. (I do also have a hand grinder, but i got it for like 40 or 50 bucks? grinds very well, probably not as even as a professional one, but good enough for my needs)
I live in a quarantined nursing home. I need entertainment, and this review was very entertaining. Thank you!
Hoff getting low key apoplectic about the carafe has made my Sunday morning, somehow seeing a person rant without swearing is very soothing.
After this review 2 years ago i bought the cheap glass French press. Surprisingly it’s lasted, no warping or bending of the plastic or metal…been using it every day! Good buy in my opinion
I'm (unhappily) visiting IKEA this evening and I think - for the first time ever - your video may have actually SAVED me money! 😂
James is just so polite and calm and non-dramatic that even when he says he hates something it comes off endearing, and polite/nice about it. It's like a "you do you, but i hate you, but carry on".
I was at IKEA yesterday and while looking at these things I thought how much James Hoffmann would hate them :D Surprise, surprise
Now my favorite channel. So much knowledge and comedy slammed together.
One thing I do like about the moka pot is that it's stainless steel and not aluminium. You are not supposed to drink acidic liquids like coffee from an aluminium container. It reacts with it and actually becomes a neurotoxin. So I've been looking for a stainless steel one. I might buy it for that reason alone. All the Italian ones seem to be in aluminium.
I have had that black french press for 3 years now, and I love it for travel or when I was living in a dorm and only had one kettle.
My four year old son is obsessed with Toy Story 4, and thinks the word "trash" is hilarious. He was playing while I watched your video, heard you say the word "trash" 3 times in a row and complely lost it. It was the funniest thing he ever heard. So if this whole RUclips coffee reviewer thing doesn't work out, you've definitely got a career as a comedian for children 😂
I have the glass French press from ikea, it’s my first French press I’ve had. I’ve had it for probably 4 months now, almost used everyday and it has held up very well. Haven’t broken it yet 😂
"Despite the hair" ROFL... I love you so much ROFL. Honestly I think you would be AMAZING to hang out with. I literally binge watch your videos, even re-runs while i'm at work. GREAT content... and honestly... you're just sooooo soothing to listen to. and i love your hair.
Every time he raises his voice in anger at bad coffee products it sounds like he’s trying not to wake the person in the next room.
It's amazing how much IKEA has made their stores exactly alike-- for a second I honestly thought you were in my IKEA store here in the US.
I thought the same exact thing! LOL.
Same here, Vancouver BC! 🌎
The exact same copy in Germany. It's simply a box with the same content all over this planet.
sir, your product roasts are excellent. i love your way with words. (also, the reviews in general are just fantastic so thank you.)
It's not often that I'm persuaded to Subscribe to a random RUclipsr that I've only seen about 2-3 minutes of their video, but I'm hooked. The entertainment offered is gold🥇

Great review! 😂🤣👍🏼
There's our Mr.Hoffmann caressing his "chunky boy" like a pet baby goose Lol.
You've got the vibe of a comedian sir.
James, we are all totally lucky that you are a coffee pro, but we lost immensely you aren't an Oscar winner yet, for scripwriting - too. It's a great fun to watch your videos - with great acting. And scriptwriting. This was great now with my morning cup of coffee.
I always get way more laughs out of these than I expect. Wonderful delivery.
I died of laughter when that carafe totally failed you
I don’t think the Moka pot is hideous at all! The design seems to be Bauhaus-inspired, which I quite like.
Yep. And the form follows function of it stands out on the burner-covering bottom.
If i hadn't inherited a well-worn mokapot I would snatch it up.
dreamervanroom Same!
same!
Same here! The handle is great :) If I didn't already have another IKEA mokapot I'd buy this one.
A stainless Moka pot for that price? Sweet! Compare that to a Contessa, Carmencita, or Alessi 9090. Only what's nice about the 9090 is that it latches closed instead of screwing so you don't need a towel to hold the base if you pre-heat your water separately like he does.
When he looked right at the camera and said “IKEA, you disappoint me” - I felt it. I felt it in my soul. Like I was IKEA.
