Hape Wooden Coffee Maker Kitchen Set with Accessories| Pretend Play Toy Set for Preschoolers Ages 3 Years & Up

I bought this toy because my son, who is 2, has recently been obsessed with making Mommy coffee in the morning. I have been letting him help in the kitchen and the coffee maker is one of his favorite things to help with. I always handle the water, but I let him open it, put the pod in, push the brew button. He likes to help so much, but obviously, the fun ends once the brew button is pushed because I'm not going to help once hot liquids are involved. Thankfully, Hape, which is one of my favorite toy brands, had the perfect "just like Mommy" coffee maker. Now, the fun lasts all day and he can do it himself ("I do it" is one of our favorite phrases right now). He doesn't play much with the "coffee pod" but he opens/closes the top, pushes the button, makes his own brewing sounds and mixes in sugar and milk when he is done. It is pretty cute. He also like pretending to make grandma some tea, daddy some cocoa, etc. Overall, it has been great. It is a quality toy and will definitely hold up well to continuous use. The only things that I could see to make it better, would be if it came with additional "pods." However, I could easily make some additional ones out of felt from a craft store and will probably do so when he shows more interest in that feature of the toy.

We purchased this little coffee maker for our grandson several months ago, adding to his ever-growing "kitchen" collection. He spends a good deal of time playing with his Hape Cook n Serve Kitchen and the addition of a coffee maker was at the top of his wish list. I noticed that whenever our dear grandson becomes less interested in playing "kitchen" that a purchase from his kitchen wish list will rekindle his interest in his entire collection. As with the other Hape toys we have purchased, the quality of this little coffee maker is excellent, and it is sure to last for many years to come. Owen especially likes that his coffee maker looks like the Keurig we have, and he enjoys opening and closing the yellow lid on top to "make coffee". Downside: • It would have been nice if Hape would have included other "coffees, teas, and coco" "felts" so Owen would be able to "make" different kinds in his coffee pot like we do in the real one. • I wish it had come with 2 cups rather than just the one. Then we could have our "coffee together" Upside: • I love the little sugar spoon • Owen likes the cow picture on the milk carton (however now he says he "needs" a refrigerator because "milk cannot sit on the counter all darn day" • The Hape coffee maker was reasonable priced ($16.93) other similar priced coffee makers I found were plastic or of a lesser quality or "unfinished" wood ---------------- From an Educational or Developmental Perspective: Hape - Playfully Delicious - Coffee Maker Wooden Play Kitchen Set supports a child's creative development. In a world of brain science and cognitive development, Creative Development is often overlooked or considered less important -sometimes even optional. However, the majority cognitive researchers encourage parents to make sure their child is given ample opportunity for creative play each day. This is because creative play supports the development of skills such as: • problem solving • Innovation • flexibility in thinking Many experts consider development of these skills and other creative or out-of-the box thinking as a critical components for child's success in our ever-changing world. So the next time your child wants to play dress up and have a tea party, rest easy knowing this type of play can have lasting benefits. ----------------------- Sidenote: Want to know more about the skills children will need in order to succeed in a knowledge economy?

My little niece LOVES this coffee pot! She had become interested in pressing the button when we were using the Keurig coffee maker and she was thrilled when she got her own so that she can make coffee in the morning too. Everything is tiny for itsy bitsy hands and the coffee maker comes with the bright blue mug, a cup of sugar and spoon, a little while carton of milk, and even a little cloth cartridge, just like we put into the real coffee maker. She is quickly becoming an imaginary caffeine addict (we need to look into buying a decaf cloth cartridge for the machine!) and everyone else in proximity, even Papa, who is staunchly against coffee, has had more than his share of our girly's specialty brew. This is absolutely brilliant in that that it stimulates the imagination and is a modern design for young kids who have never even been in a house with a drip-style coffee pot & want to do what mom and dad are doing. The other thing that is totally worth mentioning is that the toy is made with hard wood from a renewable source and all of the paints and dyes are completely non-toxic and water based. So pour me another cup, please!

Purchased this as an addition to a play kitchen, we own many other Hape and Plan Toys wooden kitchen play sets and have enjoyed the quality and detail that goes into toys. The coffee maker comes with the blue cup as shown, sugar cup and cute wooden spoon, a solid wooden milk carton, and a small circular piece of felt that has the word "coffee" written on it and goes into the top as the "coffee pod". The button on the top pushes down as if there is a small tight spring inside, but doesn't create an effect, it is just for show. The dial on the side of the maker is also for show and turns for the "strength" of the coffee. So cute that we wished that it came with an extra blue cup, called the manufacturer to see if we could purchase and additional cup and they didn't have any for sale. Kids are cool and you will see them use other cup like objects, such as the sugar cup that comes with it as a "coffee cup".

My three year old has been watching mummy hard at work at the espresso machine making drinks for daddy for the whole of his life.... He loves this well built coffee machine. It has cute little accessories and all of the wood feels good quality and sturdy. I think kids enjoy playing with kitchen stuff that they either like themselves (pizza sets and cake) or that they see mum and dad use.... If you have a coffee maker or espresso machine in your home I don't think you'll be going wrong with this. Has nice features that make it great for the three year old set but also for them to use as they grow and their imaginative play is more extensive. Makes a great mocha ;)

Veramente carina, solida e ben fatta. Il legno è robusto e resistente, tutti i pezzi sono caduti più volte e tutto è rimasto integro senza nemmeno un graffio... Mia figlia (22 mesi) ne va pazza, prepara caffè a tutti!

Cumplió todas las expectativas. Esta marca siempre presenta la misma alta calidad en sus productos. La entrega dentro del plazo y el producto llegó en excelentes condiciones.

Die kleine Kaffeemaschine wird seit Weihnachten täglich von meiner 2-jährigen benutzt und zeigt bisher keinerlei Abnützungserscheinungen. Die Qualität überzeugt mich wirklich, das Produkt sieht aus wie am ersten Tag. Auch das eher simpel gehaltene Pad erweist sich als robuster als gedacht - ein paar in Reserve wären trotzdem noch nett gewesen. Tasse, Löffel, Zuckerdose und Milchpackung regen zu entzückenden Rollenspielen an und erfreuen Mama und Papa immer wieder mit neuen "Kaffeespezialitäten". Gemessen an der guten Verarbeitung und an der Freude, die das Spielzeug meiner Tochter bereitet, ist der Preis absolut angemessen.

Acheté pour l'anniversaire de ma fille il y a 1 an [elle avait 3 ans] LES PLUS : * Solidité et Qualité : Le pack est d'hyper bonne qualité. Comme neuf un an après. * Contenu : La machine [avec une petite dosette], une tasse, un pot à miel avec cuillère et une brique de lait. * Matière : Bois peint. J'adore le bois pour les jouets des enfants, c'est franchement top. * Réalisme : La machine est réaliste avec son système d'ouverture pour la dosette. * Design : Ce jeu est très très mignon. Une belle idée cadeau également. Et il plait beaucoup. LES MOINS : * Prix : Acheté en octobre 2016 à 30,56 EUR. Il faut avouer que ça pique un peu. - Aujourd'hui il est à 25,11 EUR, c'est déjà bien plus tolérable. Moi j'estime qu'il devrait passer en dessous de la barre des 25 EUR. Il serait plus attractif à 24,99 EUR (lol) JE LE RECOMMANDE A FOND. Ma fille joue toujours avec. C'est un jouet qui passe les années. Top !
