PRE-ORDER YOUR LOKA CHAI MAKER HERE ⬇ www.kickstarter.com/projects/... In this video I meet inventors; Anish and Nikhil. They have spent 3 years inventing something which is going to change the chai world forever!
Hah fun question! We did SO MUCH name-storming. We must have had like 50 different shortlist names. Took us ages, but it was a fun process. We love Loka as it is an old Sanskrit word meaning dimension/world/multiverse. It feels both classic and futuristic, which is what we are all about!
It looks good. "Dragons Den" may not realise just how useful it is! Here in the UK, chai is really growing in the public awareness - just see how many coffee outlets offer the syrup-based version of it as well supermarkets with their instant versions. And lovely to hear Anish react to disaster in the British way: "Oh, dear, that didn't work as well as I expected."
I just saw a glimpse in tiktok of this this ist the mother of invention its so cool and easy.its easy to say this product ist the think all desi ppl are waiting for.never ever i backet up a project in sec. Love from germany
I have a question, was this product tested for durability? The top and bottom part might not fit snug after sometime. Also, since the handle is only attached to the top part, it is just a disaster waiting to happen if the bottom part full of hot chai comes off while pouring. If it is screw type is connection then I'd reckon it'd be a bit safer.
I'm not a business expert, but I hoped they have talked to some entrepreneurs who have expertise about making products available in various markets and can bring more awareness of this product to Indian businesses. I can't see this available in major supermarkets like Tescos, unless it's located in densely South Asian populations. Definitely would be a success in South Asia, unless somebody in those places have already invented this.
I am from POllachi here.. Brits OOTY and Munnar are 3.5 hours difference... TEA ZOne.. In our Taluk we got BRITS Valparai... Cheers from #pollachi town #coimbatore
But also, in India it is soo easy to get chai out on the street for only 20 rupees. In uk it is not easy to find unless you live near Chai Guys of course !!
Because like lots of people around the world we make it in a normal pan on very low heat. Stirring occasionally. Simple. And I've never soaked pots for hours on end. Were they making chai or heating tar.
Hi i do not even like tea, have not tried chai more than one time in a machine and it tasted good, now i backed this one without knowing anything about chai...oops. I am going to London Soon where can i try chai ? i am a new subscriber here.
Haha! You can try chai at ‘Chai Guys’ in my opinion they do the best chai in London. They are at spitalfields market, seven dials Covent Garden and portobello Road.
since u learned hindi, do u also somewhat understand hindi belt region languages, like awadhi, bhraj bhasha, marwari, etc ? and standard sanskrtitise hindi, and standard persianized urdu?
I see a problem with the design. While it solves the problem of boiling over, cleaning that thing is going to be a real pain in the arse. It has a narrow mouth so reaching the inside to scrub out all the milk fat that sticks to the walls while you cook masala chai is going to be challenging. I use high quality saucepans from Demeyere and Mauviel to make chai and still cleaning it is a pain. The solution for the chai not boiling over is to heat it it in medium low to low heat and it seldom boils over. While the design of this contraption solves one issue, it creates a new one which is cleaning that thing after and the milk fat from boiling tea sticks to the walls and makes it quite the challenge to clean. You could use non stick saucepans from Hexclad or similar and low heat and that will solve the problem plus make cleaning easy.
Actually I’ve cleaned it myself and it’s very easy, if you watch the full length RU-vid video you will see that it comes apart and is extremely easy to clean
@@LondonkiLali That’s good to know that it comes apart and easier to clean. What I can’t understand is why people heat their tea in high heat so it boils over. I use a saucepan and brew the tea first and then add the milk and add chai masala spice blend and let it cook in medium low to low heat and I seldom have the boiling over problem. It does take a tad longer but it slow cooks and boils gently. I am all for kitchen contraptions but I’m not sold on this. Cleaning the pot after tea is still a pain in the arse because of the milk fat sticking to the sidewalls. I usually make about 2 litres of tea at a time ( half tea half milk plus spice blend) so I can pour it in a double walled stainless steel thermos and have multiple cups over several hours. I am mainly a coffee drinker but I like masala tea and the reason I make it not so frequently is because of the post cooking cleaning 😀 I am glad there is a market for it but I am still not sold on it and I have already figured out the fix for boiling over mess… low heat cooking 😀
@@Abraracourix Yep I don't have a boiling over problem either, I just take it off the heat then put it back on when it calms down when I want it to be ready fast. I still think this product sounds about as ideal as something could be for this, but I'll stick with just any decent non stick pan. Also I often use almond milk which breaks at 50C, so I need a very close eye on it and full control anyway. Cleaning the strainer is always going to be more of a pain anyway (the tiny holes that spices get stuck in!) and this product can't help with that.
@@Bozebo if you use a good quality saucepan and low heat, the tea will never boil over. As for the strainer clogging up, don’t boil the milk and tea and everything else together. Use an infuser to make the tea and then add milk and the spices. I never add sugar to the mix because sugar breaks down after a couple of hours and imparts a funny taste and I usually make a 2 litre batch of masala chai and store it in a double walled flask so I can drink for hours. I have never had boiling over problem because I use low heat. I don’t see much of a use for this device.
