hi everyone so we're going to do something slightly different today first of all you might notice i have this lovely thing here i want to try not doing a voiceover i'm not using a lav mic we're going to use this it'll look a little silly that's okay let's see how this goes anyways so i was at ikea the other day and i noticed that they had coffee now i've hi hello this is voice over morgan and i gotta say something real fast because i think i'm just very unobservant and didn't notice that ikea sold coffee they've been doing it since 2017 but this is my first time seeing it and i also didn't make videos back then so we're gonna explore it and this is a little explanation on why i haven't done a video about this until now okay goodbye now i've seen in the past they have this wonderful collection of coffee tools and coffee gear in fact james hoffman has done a video about it in the past which i will be linking below however when i went i did notice this time they were selling actual coffee now i know they have a couple different series of these when i was looking into it they have an espresso series they also have a like drip slash brewers series and then they also sell some whole bean now the ikea i was at only had the drip series so i picked up a couple packages of each i thought we'd give them a test and just to be totally authentic to the ikea experience i also picked up some brewing tools as well so we'll take a look at those and we'll just see what ikea coffee tastes like now my understanding is this is what they serve in the cafe so in those days when you could actually go to the ikea cafe this would be the coffee you'd be having it says a second cup of coffee and then down below it says ground coffee dark roast and organic so then when you go a little bit lower down the packaging you notice a couple of things so it has a little coffee brewer on it each of these packages kind of shows you the best method of brewing these coffees so as i mentioned before these are all for drips so this is a drip brewer it has a slightly lower acidity it's a little bit below the halfway mark it has a full body at number four and it is a number four in roasting which i'm just assuming means it's a dark roast coffee uh this is over a pound of coffee which is quite a lot usually when you go into most specialty shops they'll be sold in increments of about 12 ounces which is it's 12 ounces right not 12 grams how much coffee do you use 19 grams so this is 1.1 pounds of coffee uh which is 70 oh it just says 17.6 ounces this is slightly slightly more than you will be getting if you're going into a specialty coffee shop now the second one i got is this purple bag right here the main labeling is the same says stay in the moment a second cup of coffee it is ground press coffee dark roast and organic now you go down here and instead of having pull this back instead of having your little brewer you have your french press symbol so this is for a french press uh it has a slightly higher acidity it's a three so it's slightly above that middle marking this one again as we mentioned before is a two it has um a slightly heavier body and it also is a number four on roasting so these are both dark roasts i know ikea makes a medium roast as well i'm not totally sure about a light roast but this is all my ikea hat so this is what we're going with now one thing that i did notice when i was looking at these is they don't have the origins of coffee on them it does say on the back that these are 100 arabica beans it does say that they are from small-scale coffee farmers in the countries well it says countries like mexico peru and honduras so i'm not clear if those are the only countries of origin they source from or if that's just what some of them are oh but one really cool thing is it says on the side and on the back that you can trace your coffee so you go to utz.org ikea you input one of the label numbers the best buy date and you're able to trace where your coffee's from and i found out that this coffee is from honduras so that's kind of cool it probably makes them a lot easier to package and ship out very very quickly but you still have some degree of traceability to your coffee so if you're interested in that that's where you can find out let's talk about the rest of my ikea haul real fast because of course i got two of each of these coffees i got the very famous ikea french press all right so i also picked up this nifty little set which i actually think should be pretty useful we're just gonna give it a test uh this is a coffee scoop as well as a coffee bag clip i thought this looked really neat i hope it works because if it does i'm just gonna keep it and use it for my regular bags of coffee i also thought because it's ikea we should test out the milk frother if you can hear the cats say hello to the cats anyway so i picked up one of these and i also picked up one of their steaming slash pouring pictures i figured since we're making coffee we might as well enjoy it so i'll be steaming up some milk and we'll have like a little olay sort of thing that's gonna be delicious and yes ikea doesn't explicitly sell coffee brewers like a drip brewer so hang on i'm gonna be cheating today this is my drip brewer that i usually use every day it's from bonavita i love it it's not sponsored but uh if they want all of these bags of coffee that i have are pre-ground so just something to keep in mind um i have not opened this yet i've not tried any of it uh because i thought it would be a fun surprise for all of this now originally when i picked this up in store it is it is dense like i don't know if you can hear that it is it's a solid block and my brain originally thought did they just like freeze dry or like vacuum seal just like a cube of coffee um someone pointed out to me someone who is slightly smarter than me pointed out they probably just used a box which makes a lot more sense so let's find out which one of us is correct um i'm correct spoiler alert this is just a this is a vacuum sealed cube of coffee look at it i don't know if i can explain to you how dense this thing is like i feel like i could club someone over the head with it so it's not pretty um but it is something this is why we have this tool because i can imagine if you don't seal this off you're gonna have coffee everywhere i'm slightly scared to open this up i'll be totally honest i don't have a good track record of opening bags and doing it in a clean way so i'm just gonna okay so fun irregardless we have a bag of coffee right here smells like coffee all right our water is just about finished boiling i have my scoop i have my coffee my lovely scale and i'm gonna start off with about 27 to 30 grams of coffee this is a four cup french press that's just kind of what i use for the most part of course recipes and brewing variations will totally go person to person that's just what we're doing and we'll see how it turns out see i'm gonna do a nice rounded oh the water's done i'm gonna do a nice just kind of like flat scoop here and let's see how much all right so each one of these scoops are about seven and a half i'm gonna add just a little bit of water in just to kind of initially wet all the grounds or i'm gonna give this a stir just to make sure all those grounds are sufficiently damp nothing's kind of floating around or too dry hey google set a timer for four and a half minutes we're just gonna go for about 30 seconds starting now we're just gonna go for about four and a half minutes and then we will see where this ends up maybe i need to use more coffee before i can do this and then like just kind of slot everything in there okay it's not beautiful but uh it does work we have in total a minute and a half left this smells nice i will say this very much smells like a very classic like diner coffee which is what i often associate with dark roasts they're very comforting they're very like i always describe them as like coffee that tastes like coffee you're waking up you're going to like deadies or high hop and this is what they serve you and it's great it goes with cream it goes with sugar and all that stuff so we'll find out if it actually tastes like that but that's like my hope because i've got like a sneaky little weakness for like delicious diner coffee that goes with cream okay that uh that looks like hot coffee to me it's got a very very light smell to it it isn't super fragrant i will say quite dark very chocolatey almost a little bit nutty as well it's not it's not a very complex coffee it has kind of like a one note like you taste it it has this kind of initial burst of dark chocolatey roasty tasting coffee and then it's just kind of gone there's nothing that really sticks around i will say though this does not have a lot of acidity to it's not bad it's just kind of basic is the best way i can describe it as um however i am very curious to see how this acts with milk to see if it has a better flavor profile when paired with something that's a little bit creamier so i'm gonna get out that pitcher i'm gonna get out that little hand frother thing and let's just see how this goes we have ironically two ikea double a batteries they make it as easy as possible for you to never have to leave their shop for anything else will i remember how these go in probably not wait am i not supposed to use double a's i thought i was okay wait no how do i fit two of these in two double a batteries i'm phoning a friend here phone a husband that's one of the choices right you just put them in he says that easy it looks like you're struggling a little bit here i'll get the other one maybe we can tag team this and see who gets done first ah okay ah it works so thank you thank you yes okay success so excited these things are always so fascinating to me they aren't in any way near as good as steam wands but they're not half bad either i will say there was a point in my life where i judged these little hand frockers but i think they're pretty great now as a milky drink i think this coffee is pretty lovely it's not super intense it's not a complicated coffee but it is comforting it is tasty and i'm not super mad at it i'll be totally honest now that was just with french press we still have one more coffee to go which is going to be our drip coffee so let's hop onto that real quick and we'll see what we end up with so this is another low acidity coffee says it has a pretty rich full body and is a dark roast okay let's just go for it all right so i'm gonna be using this bonavita brewer right here i'm gonna be brewing four cups of coffee so very comparable to what we did in the french press i'm gonna use about 30 to 32 grams of ground coffee in here because that's what i like doing when i use this every day for most coffees that tends to be a pretty reliable ratio of water to coffee and we'll just see how it goes there it goes enjoy some coffee asmr enjoy the sound of milk boring everyone we're doing great today if you make messes just clean them up it's okay again it still smells a lot fruitier which is good that's what i prefer it smells a little bit more complex than the past one did it doesn't have that kind of like one note just like roastiness and that's it so that's hard to say roastiness this one almost has a more milky flavor just up front um i would describe it as being like a softer coffee if that makes sense like instead of that kind of like punchy more kind of like bitter dark chocolate i would describe this as having more like milk chocolaty notes where it's the flavors are a lot softer it kind of feels like it has a more rounded more like full bodied feel to it so i'm going to add a little bit of milk to this and we'll see how it tastes with the milk added just a splash no need to go crazy milk pairs nicely with it all in all here are some of my final thoughts i think that if you are at ikea and you're getting furniture and you happen to have another errand afterwards that involves you picking up coffee i think it wouldn't be the worst thing if you just grabbed these instead they're pretty one-note coffees again they're not super complex but they are not disgusting that might not sound like high praise but what i mean is they're very comforting they're very much like a classic dark roast coffee and if you serve this to me pretty much anywhere i wouldn't really question it i would have no idea that this came from ikea the packaging is kind of fun whoops i like the idea that there is some traceability behind that um but yeah raiding not the worst thing now i'm gonna do my best to go get my hands on the espresso grinds of this coffee because there is a whole series that is made especially just for espresso and i know i've seen this online they also have whole bean coffee so for another video i'm gonna see if i can hunt those down and we'll talk about them i think there's gonna be a lot more variation in the espresso than there would be in drip because overall i just prefer espresso i have a lot more experience with it drip coffee is kind of it's good you know it's yummy it's a classic um but for me i don't find it nearly as interesting so we're gonna go find the espresso grind and i'll be back hopefully very soon with it but for now have a great rest of your day thanks for sticking around with me while i gave this my best go and i will see you next week and probably the week after that feel free to follow me on my other socials if you like i post every day on tiktok and i do some stuff on instagram other than that have a lovely day drink lots of coffee and i'll see you later
