❤ IKEA's Coffee Stuff Review

IKEA's Coffee Stuff Review

this is going to be a little bit
different than usual now because this
video has a sponsor a sponsored by North
EPN I took this as an opportunity to do
something I wouldn't usually do I often
do reviews and I have a patreon supports
there but here no no this was a chance
to do something a little bit different
and I needed to go to work here so I
thought why don't I go to Ikea and just
buy all of the coffee things and review
them and then give them away so let's
see what does IKEA have and ultimately
is it any good
hand grinder 22 pounds that real is that
actually product organic dark roast
coffee we're not buying we're not buying
that 27 pounds 27 pounds it's a big
French press we've got the all-important
metal pour over set can't forget little
carafe metal filter the hood head
hug hug him a dig it's 40 P to that
there's a stove top so you don't why not
the hold so let's see what we have today
okay we've got a couple French presses
we've got like a little glass guy and we
got a chunky chunky little metal one
which is good in amongst the other stuff
we've got like a travel thermos and a
little travel cup Oh we'll get a little
hand grinder got a hand grinder this
thing which is a stove top terrifying
must all carafes be terrible let's find
out we've got some 40 pence glass cups
which I don't even understand but we've
got those we've got some very I don't
know I carry kind of cups here going on
we've got some some nice little patents
and things I need to drink out of
something you know so that's that we got
this weird little kind of brewing pour
over set up and then last but not least
we have the tasteful glass carafe slash
pour over thing so here's the plan of
attack we're going to divide and we're
gonna conquer all of this stuff together
this is not going to be an in-depth
review of each product they're just
there just isn't time well answer the
top one question is this good is this
bad is it worth the money or not
nothing here is over 30 pounds so it's
all pretty cheap so the question is does
it suck maybe it does who knows
so we'll start by looking at the hangar
and oh then we'll have a look at the
French presses then we'll do some poor
River goodness will maybe drink from
some cups as we're doing those things
and finish with a little bit of maca pot
goodness let's have a look at this 22
pound grinder we've got in here your
classic set of what looked like very
plasticy white ceramic burrs what I
would have will say there's a little
spongy bit on the bottom here that's
kind of nice I guess that's to keep it
nice and fixed on the table for when
your hand groaning which is a nice touch
I'd be shocked if yeah that's pretty
much it the crush grind little burr set
interesting to see it says sort of crush
grind oh dear
oh it's really plasticky that's not nice
to adjust alright now this is a weird
actually looking at it right now there's
a weird container to grind into as a
sort of shape that is just a bit odd I
could imagine coffee gets stuck in that
it's just through a little handful in
I'm not sure I want to grind this whole
handful it's like a hand grinder alright
a second look second look see at the
state of this so we've gone kind of that
medium medium fine I guess
okay that's kind of a mess I mean that's
a mess these glands are ultimately what
I would expect to see from a cheap hand
grinder they are wildly variable in size
there's some pretty fine pieces here
there's some big old Baldry pieces too
I'm not going to be grinding any more
coffee with this because that's just a
waste of everyone's time twenty quid you
get what you pay for and then we've got
these things we've got two French
presses and they did this one in a bunch
of different sizes I really only saw
this in this size this this is the one
that feels like you will break it within
the first week right you'll just tap it
on the kitchen counter by mistake and
it'll be gone gone forever super light
sort of cheap not particularly into it
on the face value this little chunky boy
I'm I'm a little bit into this like it's
one of the most expensive things in the
whole run I think it was 27 pounds it is
big it's a good volume in here it's dual
walled stainless steel it's not make a
stunning quality here I like the way
that it's brushed at the bottom is very
different to the more mirrored sides now
in here the plastic just feels cheap
because it's cheap as someone who
doesn't really press French presses and
check up here if you want to see that
video this is kind of good like it will
keep the heat let's get some coffee into
it let's let's get some water boil does
get some coffee into it we're gonna brew
just a half liter on each one which they
can comfortably accommodate so I've got
thirty seven and a half grams of coffee
in each 75 grams a litre is kind of
where I'm at for a French press throw
make sure you get it all
you know evenly saturated now I don't
worry about thermal loss but some people
do so we'll leave the lid on a little
bit down we're not gonna press right
we're never gonna press you're gonna do
this you can just press it down until
it's the liquid and that's enough don't
you worry about anything else
so these they're not gonna brew anymore
they're gonna just sit hangout the
things the fines will fall to the bottom
it'll be good but they're not brewing
they're not extracting anymore so don't
freak out that I'm gonna make some
coffee and not drink this coffee okay
because we have to talk about these
these are the poor of options from Ikea
and they're basically the same but not
so you've got this set up which is like
a repurposed funnel I just have no idea
what's with the pointy bit at the bottom
other than it's literally a repurposed
funnel and then they seem to just stuck
a little piece on here sort of badly is
that I actually attached tonight I
presume that supposed to happen you can
put like a v60 paper in here and you've
got some Richie type things that they
have sort of made a small effort with
but it does come with this which is what
the other little glass carafe comes with
which is a metal reusable filter metal
meshes tiny holes no need for a filter
paper these are as far as I can tell
identical inside with the exception of
the outside on the rim of this one
there's a little handle to help you lift
it off like now apparently if it's in a
glass thing you don't need to help
lifting it off you just pick it up like
that
let's let's make some coffee with them
concerning that this is identical to
that I'll not use this one I'll put a
paper filter in here and I know I'll
brew this as intended now this does have
some markings on the side right some
some little lines they haven't told you
what they are I feel like they're
mocking me and you and all of us
seriously I mean is there 100 mils 200
mils I don't know I have no answers for
you and I'm mad
let's do while I 20 grams to say a third
of a litre so I'm gonna brew this
when Brewer v60 this is not just an
excuse to make you go back and watch all
my old brewing guys but there is a link
to a brewing guide up in that corner
there if you'd like to click and have a
little look with metal you'll need to
grind just that little bit finer because
there'll be no resistance from the paper
so the whole brew will happen a little
bit quicker that way all right we'll
leave you here to drain out let's put a
filter paper in this and see how we go
with that
I'll tell this right now I'm trying to
rinse the filter paper in the sink this
is this is a horribly designed Brewer
designed by somebody who has never used
it or intends to use it before when you
stick a giant funnel a bit through the
bottom what what am I doing with this
what is this is awful this is awful now
in looking for something to brew on top
of with this monstrosity it seemed a
good chance to use this the little
travel thermos the Kim from Ikea today
the v60 paper does not fit this well
this feels like it's draining a bit
slower than a v60 wood I don't really
know why I think it's just because this
hates me and I hate it and we understand
each other that way see this sometimes
happens with chem X's where the seal
ends up being too good or something I
don't even understand alright enough of
you so what have we got along side a
little trouble thermos we should also
test our little trapper cup which is a
pound and don't you feel it when you
hold this so that's a pound and then
we've got our trouble press and these
cups came from Ikea so maybe they're
good means metal filtered pour of a
coffee which to me is entirely fine if
often a little bit muddy our big chunky
boy
hot clean pretty good really pretty good
Oh travel cup I'm not an entirely you
know surface-level person but but you
know I'm not that shallow and vain
despite the hair but if I was walking
down the street holding this I'd feel
not proud of myself
this is I mean I feel like I'm drinking
from a child's cup I mean it's
definitely a cup that has a lid that is
a pound the fancy travel thermos this
comes with a special lid so in theory
this is sealed right now and then you
would click it to drink and click it
again to seal it so in theory nothing
comes out and nothing does come out
which is a great relief and then we can
open to drink that's exactly as hot as a
fresh brewed coffee my thermoses that's
not a particularly good pour over
because that pour over is trash
it's made of trash I think I just found
metal in the skip out the back was sort
of roughly shaped into a funnel and then
I don't know I just hate it I just I
hate it yes I quite like that's okay
this if you need a little trouble
thermos I don't hate it I don't love the
colors
but it does not leak when you don't want
it to leak this I'm not that into these
cups are kind of fine this is one my
heart so far no not really and the
little the little nonsense here yeah now
I would I would not out go and buy a
proper one from someone like Harry Oh or
one of those other companies that do
these and do them well I'm not sold that
the glass will be long lasting on this
thing there is one Brewer left and that
is the mocker pot type thing I will need
to do a little bit of a set change get
my induction hob ready to do that and
while I do that I'm going to tell you
about the video sponsor which is Nord
VPN that has enabled this journey that
we've all taken so far now Nord VPN
actually the service that I use as a VPN
and I like a VPN for a few different
reasons firstly it adds a layer of
privacy to your activity online it would
mean that someone like your ISP couldn't
see
your traffic more than that for me it
acts kind of like an ad blocker
preventing me being tracked across the
web in a way that I just don't like at
all now as someone who travels a lot
being able to act like my laptop is in
whichever country I want is actually
super useful not just for watching
whichever version of Netflix that I
fancy that day it's also incredibly
useful if I'm somewhere like China where
there's a firewall that would
traditionally stop me accessing the
services that I need every day now if
you're curious and you want to try it
out use the link in my description down
below and you'll get 70% off a
three-year plan
there's 24/7 customer support and
there's a money-back guarantee - thank
you so much to Noor DPM for sponsoring
this video let's get back to the coffee
stuff so we returned to to do the the
maca pot type deal which is kind of
interesting now I had a pleasant
surprise a quick test this is not
aluminium and it works on induction hobs
directly which is great news so to the
bottom of this we're going to add our
hot water if you look up there I bet
there's a video about how to brew it
with a maca pot that I helped make that
will be good so coffee not tamp down not
super finely ground at all tightly
locked him against a gasket little
handle and I'm not against this surfer
there you are so we're brewing
so quick rinse with cold water just to
stop it brewing and we have coffee this
is our 40 P little little glass thing
I'm not going to pour a lot of coffee
here because one its strong and - I'm a
bit conflicted that it works on
induction I think is a super big win I
think that's great that it works on
induction I think it's ugly as I think
it's ugly it's pretty ugly right that's
not that's not a beautiful thing but
it's cheap it works an induction
it seems reasonably well made the handle
I like more than I feel like I should
and if you use it right you get a nice
cup of coffee out of it - so this is a
kind of medium endorsement if you don't
think this is hideous it's not bad it's
it's really not that bad before we wrap
those one more thing there was a carafe
there and I wanted to know if all
carafes
a bad carafes and if a cheap IKEA carafe
was a bad idea carafe does it pour
nicely no it does not I mean how hard is
it to get a spout to focus liquid liquid
to pour like this who is signing this
off what are you doing IKEA you
disappoint me if you want any of this if
you want to enter into the little

overall disappointing this I had higher
hopes the the winner of the day by quite
a long way is the IKEA a chunky boy
French press pretty good actually this
this is the only thing I will regret
giving away or feel some level of
sadness or or miss it in any way the
rest of it I kind of mixed bag okay -
just awful but there you go that's what
happens when you go to Ikea and you buy
everything they have that make
Coffee and you test it and now you know
what I've done this so you don't have to
