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.

Loka Chai Maker
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.

    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.

    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! ;)
