Congratulations on your Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF2 with Iced Coffee
We know you’re eager to get brewing. But first can we ask you to take a minute to register your new machine? You'll get product support and we'll also send a coffee recipe guide your way.
Setting up your espresso machine for the first time
Give the main parts a quick rinse
Before first use, take out the coffee puck tray, drip tray, and steam wand and give them all a quick rinse in warm water. Dry them and then slot back into place.
Place water filter and test water hardness
Install the filter into the tank using the mounting aid at the other end of the scoop.
If you're not using a water filter, test the hardness of your water with the testing strips. You can enter that level into your machine (see manual for instructions).
Fill the water tank
Next, fill up the water tank to the max line with fresh water from the tap, slot it into place and close the lid.
Switch on and automatic rinse
The machine will run a rinse through the dispenser each time you turn it on and off. Rinsing pre-heats the system for the ideal brewing temperature, then flushes away residue afterwards. Just remember to place an empty 0.7 L container under the dispenser to catch the rinse water.
Fill the bean hopper
Pour your favourite beans into the bean hopper, or add pre-ground coffee to the dedicated chute next to the hopper. Put the lid back on.
Purge with 4 espresso shots
For the first use, make 4 espresso shots and discard them, to flush everything through before making your first drink. Now you're ready!
Get to know your home espresso machine
You'll soon have the hang of your new machine, it's simple to use and will quickly become part of your day. Let's get to know the different parts.
Power switch
The on/off switch is at the side, just give it a press and watch your machine spring into action.
Bean hopper
Fill and store your favourite coffee beans.
Pre-ground coffee bypass
Fancy something different that's already ground? Or maybe decaf? Just skip what's in the grinder with this handy chute.
1.8 L water tank and filter
Makes at least 16 espresso shots* in a single fill.
Drip tray
Say goodbye to spills – the tray catches them. It even has an 'empty me' reminder when it gets too full.
Panarello auto steam wand
The auto steam wand works by pulling air into the milk during steaming, producing a smooth, velvety microfoam. A foam density toggle on the side of the steam wand lets you adjust the texture for each type of unique drink.
Water hardness test strip
Use this to test for the hardness of the water, which can affect the taste of the coffee. This can then programmed into the machine.
How do I make my first drink?
Now for the best part – your first drink. It’s wonderfully intuitive, so you’ll feel at home straight away. Just follow the steps below and you’re off.
Put your cup on the tray
Adjust the height of the dispenser if needed and make sure to place your cup directly under the nozzles on the drip tray. If you're making 2 drinks at once, align the cups carefully, one under each nozzle, and select the 2 cup option.
Choose your drink
Toggle the ‘Drink Type’ button to select your drink. For iced coffee, select ‘Over Ice’ and put ice in your cup, under the dispenser, before brewing.
Adjust dose and strength
Use the 'Dose' and 'Strength' buttons to choose your preference.
Press Start
Then just watch it go, it's as easy as that!
For milk, first preheat and purge
Toggle the ‘Drink Type’ button to select Steam, then press 'Start button' to initiate a preheat cycle. Point the steam wand towards the drip tray and purge the steam wand for 3 seconds by pressing Start/Cancel. Press Start/Cancel again to stop steam.
Choose foam
Set the steam wand slider to the desired setting. Choose more foam for drinks like cappuccino and less foam for drinks like latte.
Fill your pitcher... then steam
Fill your milk pitcher (not included) with milk, leaving room for the milk to expand during frothing. Submerge the tip of the steam wand below the surface of the milk. Steam milk to desired temperature. Then enjoy!
What can I make with my espresso machine?
You've got your very own café counter at home. From a rich espresso to a velvety cappuccino, there’s a whole line up waiting. With the steam wand, you can froth and texture milk your way, opening up even more possibilities. And that’s just the start. Play around with syrups, switch up the milk, add a dash of spice, or try it over ice. It’s your menu now.
Espresso
The shot of coffee loved the world over. Water is forced through the grounds to make 30-45 ml of pure espresso. Makes one or two cups simultaneously.
Coffee
Fans of drip coffee may prefer this option, which makes a full cup of black coffee with a full and round flavour. Makes one or two cups simultaneously .
Iced coffee
Brewed coffee poured over ice – ready for a splash of milk, a swirl of vanilla, or a scoop of ice cream. Makes one or two cups simultaneously .
Milk-based drinks
Crafted your way using the steam wand – from cappuccinos to flat whites. You can try your hand at latte art too.
Hot water
It's convenient to dispense a cup of boiled water to use for anything you choose. Ideal for tea, for example.
What do the icons on the LED display mean?
The backlit LED display keeps everything clear and easy to follow. Use it to select your drink, including hot and iced options, and adjust settings like strength and size. It also shows helpful indicators for cleaning, refilling and other key steps.
How to clean and care for your machine
To keep your fully automatic espresso machine KF2 working at its best, you'll get into a simple routine of care. No need to keep track, as you'll be prompted to run a clean cycle by notifications. Or you can run one anytime by selecting the cleaning menu.
Start up and shut down rinse
When it switches on, it gives itself a quick rinse to warm the internal pipes and brew unit, then another rinse when it shuts down It's helpful to put an empty container under the spout, before rinses, to collect the water and prevent the drip tray from getting too full.
Regular care
Wash the drip tray when it gets full, empty used coffee from the puck container and give the machine a wipe with a damp cloth. None of the removable parts of the machine are dishwasher safe, simply rinse with warm water.
Clean and purge the steam wand
After each use, use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the steam wand. Pull down on the metal tube to remove and rinse the inside of the tube. Put the metal tube back on to the steam wand and point the steam wand towards the drip tray. Turn on the steam wand for 3 seconds to clean.
Deeper cleaning
When deeper care is needed, the relevant icon on your espresso machine display will light up. Press and hold the Clean and Start/Cancel buttons together to access the cleaning menu, and again to start a programme, then follow the instructions in your manual.
Tips for your espresso machine
