It is centered around a sleek contemporary design theme with an industrial flair. The machines meet convenience for users and they take on a minimal look this time around with subtle branding. The entire range looks and feels premium including the Semi Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder and the Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF8. The Semi Automatic Espresso Machine has a heavyweight feel with small wheels at the back to move it around the counter easily. The grinder is tucked away for a discreet design and doses out consistent grounds for 1 or 2 shot servings.
