Since this machine isn’t on the market yet, here’s my review, after using it for a week: The KF8 sports an elegant physical design, with carefully concealed internal parts that are nevertheless easy to refill, maintain, and clean. The water reservoir and coffee bean hopper are flush with the outer shell, and yet simple to access. The user interface is intuitive and, simply put, very useful. You can create custom profiles, as well as drinks within each profile, if you have multiple users that prefer slightly different coffee strengths, coffee to milk ratios, or temperatures. The interface reminds you about routine maintenance like flushing the group head and refilling the water and bean reservoirs, and even visually walks you through the task. It also activates a self-cleaning after a few minutes of inactivity. Used water and coffee grounds are deposited in an easy-to-remove tray that can be dumped in the sink and compost. It’s also quieter than many other espresso machines.
