Santoys Wooden Coffee Maker - Play Kitchen Accessories

Not happy at all with this productComes with tiny beans which children can choke onJug slides all over the place and doesn't stayVery poorly designed

We drink coffee and my kids love to help me prepare it. I looked everywhere in the States for an attractive wooden coffee maker toy and couldn't find one. Everything was cheaply made in China and painted hideous colors. I found this one and crossed my fingers hoping that they would ship to the US, which they did for a small premium. Santoys isn't distributed in the USA but as far as I can tell it is a lot like Plan Toys, made safely in Thailand with childsafe paints and organic rubberwood.I am so glad I ordered this model because it is very sweet. The smallish size is in line with our other play food (mostly Haba and Plan Toys). The scale is a little larger than the Plan Toys tea set. I like that this set is attractive, sturdy, and functional. It includes little wooden coffee beans that you can scoop into the machine and with a satisfying click of the button, pour into the coffee pot. Some parents will probably replace the "beans" with something less likely to spill but I won't. I love the functionality and don't mind a bit of mess. Scooping and pouring are valuable preschool skills! Whatever you decide to do with the beans, this is a really nicely designed piece.
