We've been waiting two years for this design to come to market and it's finally here. The minimalist TK-02 coffee machine by Terra Kaffe—producers of super-automatic espresso machines that help people experience the joy of carefully made bean-to-cup coffee every day—without wasteful pods. As a follow-up to their TK-01 model, Terra Kaffe worked with Ammunition to create the industrial, service, UX, UI, and packaging designs for the TK-02.

Engineered and designed from the ground up, the TK-02's compact industrial design takes inspiration from Terra Kaffe's passion for modern precision and clarity. The machine houses numerous proprietary systems, has a touchscreen for controlling brew parameters, and a mechanical milk-frothing knob. A front-loading water tank, waste bin, and drip tray allow the TK-02 to fit into precious counter space without side clearance. An included quick-connect milk carafe sits nicely on the machine when it’s not in the fridge.

The product delivers intuitive hardware and a refreshing text-only UI for making basics right alongside deep customisation, tracking, helpful prompts for things like refilling beans, user profiles, roaster-provided brew parameters, and remote control.
