Haier I-Master Series 5 Multi-Beverage  uploaded picture

Made for versatility, from steaming coffees and luxurious hot chocolates to tasty teas and herbal infusions, the Series 5 Multi Beverage does it all.

No capsules needed, no countertop clutter: just enjoy your favourite café-style hot drinks at home.

Operated with modern LED touch controls and encased in dark metal, this appliance will revolutionise your mornings, whilst the easy-to-clean, non-stick jug ensures hassle-free maintenance as well.

Beverage Excellence, Capsule-Free

Enjoy a variety of beverages all within a single device, all without the need for disposable capsules. The Multi Beverage incorporates a heating element and whisk, allowing you to prepare a dazzling array of delicious drinks.

Multi Beverage - Multi Benefit

Whether you prefer loose leaf tea, Americano or Cappuccino, the Multi Beverage is ready with 6 dedicated functions. You can even put squares of your favourite chocolate bar into the jug with milk to melt down and blend into the smoothest, most indulgent hot chocolate imaginable.

Accessories Included

Included you'll find a coffee scoop, cleaning brush and metal filter. The filter can be used inside the machine to infuse teas, or can be placed over your mug for a pour-over style coffee.

Compact Design

Although it combines the functions of a kettle, frother and coffee maker all in one, the Multi Beverage won’t take up too much space on your countertop. The cleaning brush and scoop accessories can even be stored neatly on the side for convenience.

RRP £150 HOWEVER - Currently on offer for just £99

Where do we start.... We don't just like this, we absolutley love it!!!!
Lets start with Haier as a brand...Haier are the number one global appliances brand and have been producing kitchen appliances for over 30 years.  Haier believe their aim is to deliver premium quality, state-of-the-art products that respond to the constantly changing needs of the modern home, ultimately giving consumers more time to do the things that matter to them.

When we were asked to feature the Haier Multi Beverage we were really excited to get our hands on the machine.  When you think of the typical kitchen counter top we have kettles, coffee machines and some of us even hot chocolate velvetizers so in my mind this machine could potentially do pretty much all those appliances do.  

The Haier Muti Beverage Maker certainly hasnt disappointed.  On first impression its such a compact machine that takes up very little space and its also incredibly simplistic with very few parts and accessories, you literally have the machine itself, jug and filter that fits neatly inside the machine and a cleaning vrush and scoop that magnetically attach to the side of the machine.  The machine its ooozes quality and style whist remaining subtle and sleek.

So we liked the look and feel but how did it perform.. We made the mistake of telling the kids they could make hot chocolate with their favoite real chocolate bars with this machine..... so.... you guessed it, they had to try that first.  So the kids loved making their own hot chocolate by breaking the chcolate bars into small chunks and placing them in the jug, then topping up with milk to the fill line.  In what cant have been more than a minuite or so the machine had melted the chocolate, warmed the milk and whipped it into a super frothy delicious creamy hot chocolate... and that was it, the kids were sold of this forever more.  Amazing for creating lovely warm frothy milk before bedtime too.

As for us adults, in no time at all we were able to use our fresh ground coffee to brew up a delicious coffe toppped with delicious warm frothy milk, lovely lattes and more.   Whilst we wouldn't be in a hurry to ditch the kettle we can eaily see this replacing the plastic pod coffee machine, no more buying expensive capsules and quite frankly the drinks taste much fresher from the Haier Multi Beverage and we do feel we have only really scratched the surface on what we can do with this amazing little machine and we've not even tried the super helpful app full of recipe ideas yet and its still already a huge hit with us.

MULTIFUNCTION TOASTER
Browns, defrosts and reheats bread and bagel
The Laica toaster can quickly and efficiently toast bread or bagels to perfection. It’s easy to use and takes up very little space on the countertop. Plus, with different settings and options available and 6 browning levels, it’s possible to create a variety of delicious breakfast options in minutes. Whether you prefer a simple piece of toast with butter or a more elaborate breakfast sandwich, the toaster can do it all.
DUAL FLO KETTLE
Innovative 2-in-1 kettle that boils, but also dispenses only the water you need
The Laica kettle, on the other hand, is perfect for making a cup of tea or coffee to complement your breakfast. It’s also incredibly versatile and can be used to heat up water for oatmeal or other hot breakfast dishes. In addition, the Dual Flo is the only kettle with true one-cup dispense in under 60 seconds, which means you only boil what you need. It’s an innovative solution, making this simple gesture more sustainable for the planet by saving energy and avoiding water wastage. Plus, like the toaster, the kettle is easy to use and takes up very little space on the countertop.

WHAT DID WE THINK?
A beautiful kitchen duo set, we love the stylish look of this set and the outers feel really smooth with a lovely smooth design.  The toaster does a fantastic job of creating everyones personal toasting choices and does everything you need for a toaster. For us the kettle was the show stopper, this is the first kettle we have tried with a spout that pops out at the side. We really like the nenergy efficiency idea behind this and whilst we have no evidence on if it actually saves energy (due to us not measuring), what we can say is that it only boils as much as you need.  The dial is adjustable so you can boil enough from a small cup right up to  a mug size with a few different options inbetween.  Its a great addition to the traditional kettle whilst still also being able to operate as a standard kettle giving you the best of new technology and traditional.
