The inside makes all the difference
A vacuum flask keeps drinks warm thanks to the insulating double walls of the inner vessel. These can be made of glass, metal or plastic. We only use glass and metal for our products, because plastic is not as effective at retaining heat. A glass inner vessel is best if you will be using the flask at home. But if you plan to take the flask on excursions, you should choose one with a metal inner vessel. It's tougher and can take the bumpy ride in your backpack or picnic basket.
A better everyday one cup at a time
Trends travel fast today. In the world of coffee and tea, we pick up interesting habits and quirky behaviours in the blink of an eye. That’s why we’ve looked into how people live, eat and drink to find out what they need to make that perfect cup. One of the things we noticed was that a kitchen full of gadgets doesn’t make it easier to make good coffee and tea. It’s more important to have a few carefully selected products that can make a difference. Here are some of them!
What is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing things – without losing its valuable properties.
