Unique Duo Pressure

How can a capsule machine produce both a real espresso using a great deal of pressure as well as a large cup of filter coffee or tea? This can be done with the unique Duo Pressure capsule system from K-fee, which works with two types of capsules and different pressure conditions in order to prepare drinks. The capsules for Espresso and Lungo ensure optimal counter-pressure, producing first-class taste and perfect crema up to 19 bar of pressure. The high pressure is also a prerequisite for wonderful cocoa and milk drinks. The capsules for filter coffee and tea are made differently: They have a flavour seal on the base, meaning that the pressure is limited. Look forward to real enjoyment – in every capsule!

Diversity from one capsule

Affordable capsules with 5 g coffee? Barista quality espresso with 7.2 g coffee? Aromatic filter coffee with 11 g coffee? 2.5 g black tea? 11 g sweetened milk foam powder for latte macchiato? The K-fee system gives you and your customers full freedom from 2.5 g to 11 g.

Espresso

The classic. The benchmark. Fit for a king. The K-fee capsule and machine technology delivers original espresso with genuine crema which we are proud of and which consumers love.

Lungo

The Italian way of enjoying a large cup of coffee. Prepared with the appropriate grind level, espresso pressure and optimal flow rate, the Lungo opens up many nuances of flavour.

Filter coffee

Classic. Timeless. Indulgent. A large cup of coffee tastes better if you use a larger quantity of ground coffee. This works wonderfully with K-fee capsules. With no crema!

Tea

From Assam to Darjeeling, from peppermint to fennel, from apple to fruits of the forest. Ultimate enjoyment of tea from K-fee capsules. A wide variety of compositions. Endless possibilities.

Milk specialities

The perfectly layered latte macchiato or the typical foam cap on a cappuccino. Prepared with strong espresso and lightly sweetened milk capsules. It’s never been so simple!

Cocoa

Wonderfully chocolatey or extra strong. Flavouring, sweetness, milk content and more can be adjusted.

Innovation and inspiration

Turmeric espresso, coffee with ginger, lungo with acai, green tea with ginseng and much more. We hope that you will be able to continue to inspire your customers again and again. That’s why the K-fee innovation team is always on the lookout for current trends in the food industry, developing creative ideas for new varieties. As a partner of K-fee System, you will receive regular suggestions for fresh product ideas. Have you yourself discovered a trend in which you can see great opportunities?

The perfect design

Capsule housing

The external features and the function in the machine is identical with all K-fee capsules. The multi-beverage functionality arises from the internal workings: Filters made from felt or non-woven materials, grind level, filling quantity and aroma seal. This means that the pressure build-up and flow rate are always optimal. With the best crema for espresso and no crema for filter coffee or tea.

Aroma seal

You can see it and feel it: K-fee capsules are sealed with a domed, airtight protective film, as the contents is packaged under excess pressure – under a protective atmosphere (nitrogen) with <1% oxygen. For maximum freshness and 18 months’ shelf life. At the same time, we are able to do without individual films and save resources which may be cumbersome for your customers to handle.

Capsule machines

Catering-grade drinks. With every capsule machine. Allow your consumers to choose another drink according to their heart’s desire: first of all espresso, then a latte macchiato, then green tea and finally hot chocolate? You can do this with every K-fee capsule machine. With the best flavour experience.
