Quality is our passion
The K-fee capsule system is full of passion. It offers you a tempting variety of delicious beverages, from coffee to cappuccino. What makes it special: All components work together perfectly, from the finest ingredients to the special capsule technology, innovative capsule machines, and attractive accessories. We are particularly proud of the outstanding crema of our espresso and brewed. Discover the K-fee capsule system, which is gaining increasing popularity in Europe, America, Asia, and Australia.
Unique capsule technology
Smart Brew Technology
How does a barista make espresso? They fill the portafilter of a large espresso machine with freshly ground coffee and press the grounds firmly with a tamper. This process is taken care of in the ingenious K-fee capsules, thanks to their special capsule shape and several other technical innovations, ensuring perfect espresso, capsule after capsule. This is Smart Brew.
- Smart Brew: The right pressure for your enjoyment.
- Aroma protection: The freshness of the coffee is protected by an aroma seal.
- Slow Infusion: The water flows through the capsules at the ideal speed for perfect taste.
Filter coffee from the capsule
K-fee capsule machines produce excellent crema with their espresso and brewed capsules. Filter coffee capsules also allow you to prepare classic, large cups of coffee without crema or the trendy brewed coffee. A special type of capsule is used for this, featuring a filter pad and a removable tab at the bottom. All your favorite coffees with one capsule machine: the choice is yours!
- Filter fleece: Filters the coffee for the typical pure filter coffee taste
- Pull-off tab: Increases the flow rate and prevents crema formation
RICH, BREWED COFFEE
Every K-fee® multi beverage system can also drop the pressure, down to just 2–4 bars so that no crema is produced, just smooth, rich coffee. This is the result of special technology that is unique to K-fee®.
ESPRESSO WITH A CREMA
For espressos and brewed, our machines all build up pressure in the pod until it reaches 8–10 bars – just like in a portafilter machine used by baristas. This creates perfect, velvety crema the same as you would experience in your favorite café.
2008 - The K-fee® concept is born
Since 1971, the KRÜGER Group has been inspired by the vision of making it easy for people to enjoy top-quality hot drinks in the comfort of their own home. We wondered how we could achieve this while offering the range of choice found in a first-rate café. The idea was a system of single serve beverage machines and pods for espresso, lungo, brew-style coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato and more. The K-fee® system!
2010 - K-fee® comes home
After two years of research and development as well as many delicious taste tests, the K-fee® system was complete – a unique multi-beverage system. That was a real milestone for us, and so K-fee® also became a separate limited company. The first K-fee® single serve coffee makers were designed in Switzerland.
2011 - BON VOYAGE!
K-fee® then went down under. In 2011, the K-fee® system made its first international breakthrough in Australia – a country in love with espresso. Today, K-fee® system single serve coffee makers are the bestselling coffee makers in Australian supermarkets. The US and Canada also got to know and love the K-Fee® system in 2012 through the partner Starbucks®*, the world’s most popular coffee shop chain.
2013 - Big in Germany
Some stars return from an overseas tour and then become even more successful at home. The K-fee® system story is similar: Aldi Süd®*, part of the world’s largest low-cost supermarket, became a partner of the K-fee® system for the German market in 2013. Teekanne®*, the largest teabag producer in the world, launched an independent tea pod system with K-fee® in the following year.
2015 - Drum Roll
Which coffee shops do we admire the most? Those that roast their own beans with a drum roaster on-site. We wanted to create the same feeling with the K-fee® system. So we built our own roasting house at our company headquarters in Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany, complete with drum roasters, and expanded production. The green coffee supplied does not leave the factory until it has been roasted and contained in pods. Mmm, delicious!
2018 - Introducing Mr & Mrs Mill®
A completely new brand was created for the K-fee® system with Mr & Mrs Mill®. The focus is very much on craftsmanship and enjoyment, as reflected in the slogan ‘The Power of Slow’ and a unique slow-roasting philosophy. Pioneering and visionary, Mr & Mrs Mill® searches with insatiable curiosity to find fine varieties of coffee in the most important growing areas, resulting in personal moments of pleasure.
2019 - K-fee® comes to the USA
The K-fee® system brings Duo Pressure coffee technology to the USA, the home of millions of coffee lovers. Consumers can shop for K-fee® coffee and espresso makers, handpicked for the American market, as well as a custom range of Mr & Mrs Mill® espresso, coffee and Milly Moo milk pods at retailers Amazon.
