Compact design, uncompromised taste

These compact fully automatic espresso machines are now 25% smaller2 but don’t compromise on performance. With its compact, space-saving design, it fits effortlessly into your kitchen, bringing quality espresso right to your countertop.

Despite its reduced size, this machine is engineered to deliver the same rich, full-bodied flavour of our full sized line up. Whether you’re craving a double espresso or an iced latte, this machine combines convenience, style and performance in one sleek package—proof that great taste doesn’t need to take up a lot of space.

At home you can have it hot, or over ice

Iced coffee can be tricky to master. So let this clever espresso machine handle it for you. This model has both over-ice coffee and espresso settings that brew at a lower temperature. This helps protect the flavour and prevent over-extraction. That means your coffee stays smooth and balanced as it cools.

For the best results, we recommend serving cold drinks over ice. Once your perfectly chilled coffee or espresso shot is ready, simply pour your favourite milk over the top to craft your own delicious iced latte or other custom iced coffee creations.

Barista-quality milk for every drink

Get silky foam for your cappuccino or flat white with just one touch. The Auto Milk System automatically adjusts milk texture and volume for each drink, with dual delivery from the main spout.

With the included milk hose you can use any container to hold your milk. But the KF4 also comes with a BPA-free milk container, with a specially designed lid, to connect it to the machine via the hose. Handy to keep in the fridge between uses.

IntelliGrind—the right grind, every time

Our built-in burr grinder adapts automatically to every bean type and roast—no manual adjustments needed. The IntelliGrind system detects and fine-tunes the dose, ensuring rich, consistent flavour with every new cup. Whether you're sticking to your favourite beans or trying something new, the intelligent brew unit seamlessly adjusts to deliver well balanced espresso, shot after shot. With our technology, your machine does all the work, so you can sit back and enjoy a delicious cup, every time.

Quiet Mark certified grinding

Start your mornings in peace with our Quiet Grinding System, and just the gentle hum of your espresso being crafted to perfection.

With advanced noise insulation and clever design, we’ve minimized the sound and vibration, so you can brew your favorite coffee without waking the house. Certified by Quiet Mark, this is one of the quietest machines in its category. Because your coffee experience should be as calm as the first sip.

Savour the moment, not the maintenance

We’ve designed this espresso machine to handle the routine care as much as possible, so using it feels simple. When it switches on, it gives itself a quick rinse to warm the internal pipes and brew unit. That gets everything up to the right temperature and clears the system, helping your first sip taste hot, rich and balanced.

Coffee is naturally oily, so residue can build up over time. That’s why the machine automatically rinses again when you turn it off, washing away any remaining deposits. It’s a hassle-free routine that keeps the system clean, protects the flavour of your coffee and helps the machine stay in great condition for the long run. When deeper care is needed, easy on-screen alerts guide you through every process. From deep milk system cleaning to using the auto-descaling program, you'll know exactly what to do, and when.
