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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

    80% of the taste with 20% of the work?

    I started making chai at home sometime around the pandemic and since then have made it countless times, experimenting quite a lot with the recipe. It's never come out quite as good as the chai I had in India but it's good enough for friends to request it whenever they're over. All that practice doesn't mean you don't make mistakes though. A few times a year, I'll try to do too much at once and end up letting the chai boil over and it's always a nightmare to clean on our electric stove. I've made chai 4-5 times with this chai maker now and think it's got some definite upsides. I can get it started and go to get food ready or use the bathroom without worrying. It's easy to clean with the ceramic coating. It also disassembles well so you can clean the rubber gasket and the rim.

    Not everything about it is perfect though. I wish the capacity were bigger so I could use it when guests come over, but it's fine day to day for 2 people. I'd like to be able to buy additional strainers so I can make chai everyday, since they get very dirty each time and it's easiest to put them through the dishwasher. It would also be nice if there was a whistling sound or some way to know when the fountain has started so I could be more consistent with how long I let it boil. All in all, I think the chai is better when I make it in a normal pot, but this chai maker gets you most of the way there and avoids the most annoying parts.

    Thanks for making this product! I'll keep supporting you and all new…

    Every bit worth your money!!!!

    I can’t explain how many times I have had chai boil over messes. So obviously when I saw this product I was intrigued. It’s been a week since we have been using this and happy to report that me and my husband love this!!!

    Loka

    Amazing! No more chai messes in your life ;) Thanks for sharing your positive experiences with our community.

    Honestly Amazing

    I funded this project on kickstarter half-jokingly (who hasn't had to deal with an unintentional milk volcano from time to time when making chai), but this is truly, sincerely my favorite thing I have bought maybe ever. I can't comment on how well it holds up over time as mine only arrived today, but I've already used it multiple times. The little chai fountain is so incredibly satisfying. I can walk away from the stove and just let it run, but I haven't yet because the chai fountain is too captivating lol. It come apart easily for cleaning. No mess anywhere. I also got the masala chai blend expecting to hate it because I'm a little picky, but I will reluctantly admit that it is nearly as good as my own, and convenient enough I will end up using the bag and maybe even order more.

    Loka

    Yess love this! You nailed the fountain. (And you nailed this review, thanks so much for the support).

    This makes chai so much easier

    I just used my Loka Chai Maker for the first time and I’m genuinely impressed. It has a beautiful design, but what really stood out to me was how simple it made the whole process. There were no boilovers, no messes to clean up, and somehow it still gave me that rich, spiced aroma that fills the kitchen like traditional stovetop chai.

    If you love chai but hate the hassle, this is 100% worth it. Loka really nailed the experience.

    Best chai I've ever had

    The design of this alone would have made me buy it but I'm not kidding when I say this is the best chai I've ever had. It's fun to make and it's instantly become my new morning ritual. I personally love adding a little raw honey - highly recommend for those of you who like it a little sweeter!
