Loved by thousands of chai drinkers

Life transforming chai maker

Oh my goodness. What a difference this has made to my chai making mornings. No more ‘NOT AGAIN’ moments after accidentally having the pot overflow with hot sugary chai all over the hob.

Love our Loka!

No more spillovers! What a simple yet elegant appliance that has taken all the pain and brought back all the pleasure ofmaking a wonderful cup of chai at home.

Great Easy to Use Product

It lived up to expectations. It was super easy to use and produced a perfect cup of chai. I got the chai blend too and it was nice and spicy. Love it!!!
Elizabeth Verified Reviewer

Above and beyond all expectations

The experience of using Loka is just pure magic - we went from a family drinking chai maybe once a month, and mostly at the cafes, and often complaining how they've made it too sweet or too watery, to enjoying it every day with perfection in every cup.
Eugene Verified Reviewer

Perfect cup

I’ve never made a true chai from scratch and using the Loka was so easy and so satisfying. Added my chai blend, milk and water and waited for the fountain to start. The kitchen smelled great and brewing it with the Loka gently forced me to slow down and enjoy the entire ritual.
Jenny Verified Reviewer

A Beautiful, Smart Upgrade for Chai Lovers

For someone like me who has no patience for making chai the traditional way with pots and cleanup, this device has been a game changer. It actually makes chai-making fun. I especially enjoy watching the fountain of chai roll up when it reaches the right temperature.

  • Built-in strainer catches loose tea and spices.
  • Cleanup is simple thanks to the ceramic non-stick interior.

Loka was designed to honor the craft of real chai. The patent-pending Chai Fountain™ prevents foam overflow, keeping chai in the Chai Maker and off your stove. Now you can enjoy the full flavor and ritual of traditional chai with none of the mess or shortcuts.

    Worth the $

    Try as I might I make a mess whenever I make chai. I love chai but due to the mess and hassle I don’t make it as often as I want it. I live in a rural area and there is no place to get a decent chai. This little chai fountain is wonderful, easy to use and beautiful. My daughter often makes chai for herself as well.

    Gifted and Loving It

    This chai pot has completely upped the chai game. I received this as a gift when I asked for a new dedicated chai pot for Christmas, and this thing makes the whole house smell like wonderful chai due to the fountain brewing feature. It ensures a piping hot chai that stays hot for the duration of sipping. And my second favorite part is how EASY it is to clean it! It’s so thoughtfully made, the perfect size, and I already can’t imagine my daily chai without it.

    pleasantly surprised

    I initially was skeptical about ordering this - I am a true chai enthusiast and really believe in the stove method for making chai. This makes it so incredibly easy to make chai - one dish,no strainer needed, no overflow and dishwasher safe! Easy to clean and now I’ve converted my mom too! I’m never looking back. Also the chai mix that came with the package was so good!

    Instagram Impulsive Purchase

    Can i say i never buy products that haven’t had many user reviews or videos. Ordered from the UK, seen on instagram. First thing that drew me to it was the non spill feature, which we have seen happen in our asian households many times, then seen our mums frustrated to clean it up. So i bought this for her and she really loves it. We made our first few brews without any spill over i’d say use the smaller hobs. I would give the product 5 stars but i have a few pointers going forward. I’d say make a bigger version of it and also when cleaning it, the sharp edges can be annoying. The handle could be made even more heat proof and colour variations would be good as a black would have been better suited in my kitchen. One last thing the price guys, do bring it down to a reasonable cost. Im trying to sell the idea to my family and friends but you know how south asians can be. I love this product and wish you guys the very best.

    I love the Loka

    I loved the Loka with a few hiccups in the beginning, but I think this product is excellent. Particularly when you are traveling outside, like camping, I've actually created my journey with Loka, including different outdoor places where I've used it. Making tea was always a challenge, and I'm a huge tea lover.

    So here are a few examples from my journey with Loka.

    Woww we love these photos! Such a cool use of your Loka. And also appreciate the honest thoughts re: initial hiccups. It does indeed take a few trials to dial it in, so this is useful to share with other readers here to manage initial expectations. But once you've mastered it after a couple of attempts, there is no going back! ;)
