Who is it for

Chai lovers on the move.

If you hand-wash, brew multiple rounds, or want a quick level check, this strainer slips into your routine. Soft grip, quick clean, effortless to handle.
Why We Made It

Choice for every kitchen.

Some chai makers love classic steel, others want something softer and quicker between brews. The Silicone Strainer brings both together: the durability of steel with the everyday comfort and easy clean of silicone.

Silicone Strainer

Both built for perfect chai - choose which fits your kitchen ritual

We offer the Loka Chai Maker with two strainer options – both engineered for perfect chai, every time. Each is built for safety, durability, and ease. The only question is which one best suits your kitchen ritual.

Silicone Strainer

NEW
  • Hybrid design: highest quality food-grade silicone upper + stainless steel mesh base
  • Stainless steel base with fine mesh to deliver full flavour
  • Dishwasher safe or quick and easy hand-wash
Choose Silicone for quick hand-washing and multiple daily brews.

Stainless Steel Strainer

  • Classic, ultra-durable design
  • Fine mesh delivers full flavour
  • Best for those with a good quality dishwasher or or who prefer a pure metal part
Choose Stainless Steel if you plan to put in dishwasher after every use.

Your question, answered

Both are designed for perfect chai. Choose Silicone if you hand-wash often and want the fastest cleanup. Choose Stainless Steel if you prefer a pure metal part or mainly use a dishwasher.

No. The stainless steel mesh does the brewing, so taste is identical across both strainers. We also don’t compromise on materials - the silicone is the highest‑quality available and certified to EU, FDA, LFGB, and REACH standards

Yes. The silicone version separates into two parts for quick hand-washing. The stainless version is dishwasher safe and simple to maintain.

Because chai rituals differ. Some prefer the durability and simplicity of pure steel, others value the convenience of silicone. Both deliver the same great results - it’s all about your preference.

    New favorite ritual

    The first 2-3 times weren’t the best just with figuring out the heat on my electric burner and the proportion of tea to milk/water. But by the the 4th and subsequent 6-8 times I’ve done it, it’s foolproof and makes a great cup of chai!

    Using Kolkata chai mix. About 550-600ml of water/milk mix. Set my timer for 12 minutes and it’s perfection

    I absolutely love this Chai maker!!!

    I love chai tea, but hated making it myself as I always seemed to walked away for 10 seconds and the pot boiled over. I got so frustrated that I started searching for a pot specifically made to make chai tea and came across Loka. I saw that it had just finished being a kickstarter and was now for sale on their website. Got the chai maker three weeks ago and I am making chai most every morning without any boil overs. If you love chai tea and want to make your own, this is the thing to purchase. Its construction is outstanding, very solid, and easy to use and clean. Five stars!!!!!

    Loka

    Awesome Kathe, love it when people really get the unlock and use it daily. What a joy to wake up to a real, authentic chai eh! Thanks

    Does what it says - Which is PERFECT!

    Ok, I was a bit hesitant due to the price. But given the innovation this company and the engineers have put into this chai makers, i went for it! And boy am i glad i did! It looks and feel premium and does exactly what it says — no boil overs and a beautiful chai fountain. I gifted this to my sister who loves the no additional strainer requirement to pour the chai the most. It does require a bit extra love and care for cleaning as there are a few pieces involved, but it's satisfying to make chai in this! Love this. I might get one for myself!

    Ahh thank you Sumit! Very thoughtful review. Indeed, premium price for a premium product that chai lovers deserve. Now... get one for yourself ;)
