IKEA UPPHETTA French press coffee maker

The UPPHETTA is a classic French press coffee and tea maker produced by the Swedish multinational furniture and home goods retailer IKEA. Designed as an affordable and functional kitchen essential, it consists of a heat-resistant glass carafe, a stainless steel plunger mechanism, and a polypropylene plastic frame and handle.

While the IKEA brand is synonymous with Swedish design and was founded by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943 in Älmhult, Sweden, the manufacturing of the UPPHETTA model is primarily outsourced to China to maintain its competitive price point. The brand's ownership structure is complex, designed for long-term stability and independence; it is currently owned by Inter IKEA Systems B.V., which is headquartered in the Netherlands and owned by the Interogo Foundation.
