Key Features

40+ Drink Recipe Options

Choose espresso, Americano, latte, cappuccino and more. Adjust strength, temperature and drink volume to suit your taste, with control over the order of milk and coffee for supported recipes.

Six Personalised User Profiles

Save customised favourites under separate profiles, giving each coffee drinker quick access to their preferred recipes without resetting the machine each time.

Integrated Grinder with Smart Dosing

The built-in conical steel burr grinder prepares coffee from whole beans. Automatic smart dosing manages the quantity and grind consistency for your selected beverage.

Removable Bean Hopper and Auto Purge

Twist and lift the hopper to empty, refill or change beans. Auto Purge clears residual coffee from the grinder between batches to help reduce carryover when switching roasts.

Automatic Milk Heating and Frothing

Prepare milk drinks using the included container and automatic milk system. Dual-drink delivery lets you prepare two milk-based beverages together.

Dedicated Plant-Based Milk Mode

The KF8 includes a dedicated setting for heating and frothing plant-based alternatives, including oat and almond milk.

Pre-Ground Coffee Option

A separate bypass chute lets you prepare pre-ground coffee without changing the beans in the hopper, making an occasional decaf simple.

Design and Everyday Convenience

Metal-clad construction gives the KF8 a substantial finish, while its illuminated, height-adjustable dispenser accommodates different cup sizes. Quiet Mark certification recognises its acoustic performance for a more peaceful coffee routine.

The removable water tank simplifies refilling. Cleaning notifications indicate when maintenance is needed, and cleaning cycles can be configured for your water hardness.

Who Is the KF8 For?

The KF8 suits households that want a broad drink selection and automatic preparation, particularly when several people have different coffee preferences. Its saved profiles and dedicated plant-based milk mode make it a practical choice for a shared home coffee station.
