We call that Smart Brew.
Slow infusion and a special pod shape mimics the barista tamping down the espresso creating a wonderful crema, drink after drink.
In addition to espresso drinks, K-fee® multi-beverage pod machines produce classic large cups of brew-style coffee. A unique type of pod is used here, with a filter made from fleece and a removable tab on the bottom. All your favorite coffee varieties with one machine: the choice is yours!
Perfect pressure for perfect flavor. When you choose K-fee®, you will own a single serve coffee maker with unique Duo Pressure technology. Low and High pressure settings allow the you to create delicious coffee and espresso in your kitchen with only one machine.
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®.
For espressos and lungos, 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.
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!
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, designed in Switzerland.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 Bed, Bath & Beyond and Amazon.
