Do you like your coffee with thick milk foam?! Now you can make it at home without a coffee machine. My personal «barista» French press from IKEA
♥♥♥♥ Good day everyone! ♥♥♥♥
I want to share with you an impression of my quite a long time ago purchase…
More than 2 years ago I bought a french press UPHETTA in IKEA. And I was not mistaken! I am very happy with my purchase. In general I really like products from this store for their quality, functionality and appearance.
I’ll tell you more about my French press or simply the UPHETTA teapot…
MATERIALS. Plastic (very good quality), glass and stainless steel.
THE SIZE. This product does not have a flashy bright coloring so, will go well with any modern style of your kitchen.
Since the teapot itself was bought quite a long time ago, I honestly don’t remember how it was packed, but in IKEA it usually happens so… I saw it, took it, packed it in paper on the way out so it wouldn’t break =D and happy with the purchase you go home…
But my review is not about how beautiful it was, etc., but that it serves me well.
VOLUME: 1 liter.
And now I would like to tell you about its INSTANT USE!
If you are a fan of coffee with a foam like in a restaurant, but you can not buy a coffee machine, then French press in your home is a must.
To make it you will need:
- Chilled milk or liquid cream (the fattier the milk product, the firmer the foam);
- coffee (instant or brewed);
- Additives to taste: sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, crushed peanuts or almonds, ground chili pepper (but this is an admirable), vanilla or vanilla sugar, etc. All additives are to your liking, but I recommend adding no more than 2 ingredients, we want to embellish the taste of the coffee, not drown it out.
- A nice cup, glass or mug for coffee;
- FRENCH PRESS from IKEA.
Pour cooled milk or cream into the glass container of a French press, hold the handle and dip the rod into the liquid and with frequent translational movements lather it to the desired consistency for 10-15 seconds.
Leaving the stem in the position of full pressure in our glass / cup / mug with ready coffee pour our foam. We sprinkle cinnamon and vanilla sugar on top (well, everyone is guided by his/her own taste). Our beautiful drink is ready! You can enjoy it.
P.S.: if you want to add hot pepper or nutmeg, it is best to make coffee with these ingredients initially, rather than pouring them on the foam, spare your sponges ))
EXAMPLE
I have 2.5% milk from the fridge. You can see that its volume has increased by more than half.
CONCLUSION
This teapot has stuck with me. You can find it at any IKEA store. Here’s a link to FRENCH PRESS
A friend has been buying the kettle in the nearest stores for 3 years now, and they are cracked by heat, the handles break, the strainer is deformed.
Now I plan to give her the same teapot for the New Year, I am sure she will like this gift.
And congratulations on the New Year!!! HAVE A GREAT SHOPPING EXPERIENCE!!!
An indispensable device in the kitchen 🔥
Ikea continues to please — I’m already beginning to appreciate «their» approach to production. Maximum compliance with the quality of their price, but at the same time keeping the bar a little higher than average. Bravo.
An absolutely similar pressed kettle can be found at Smashing Prices and similar small retailers. It’s even cheaper there, but — the walls will be thinner, the volume less.
Here is an honest liter and wall thickness like a bracket for an LCD TV.
There is no nice box — unnecessary hassle during production. So deliver))). By the way really strong-thick glass.
The steel bezel adds style and thickness. Srih small, but nice.
The lid is clearly not a toy. You know there is a plastic, which by its look and tactile, directly screams «I 💩»… There’s no such thing here.
The press mesh is made on the principle of a gland — the edges are reinforced with rod. Cheap and sulphuric. And it works.
It is mega easy to clean — no tea pots get stuck in the gaps. Have already brewed several times — everything is okay.
