The special someone in your life requires a special gift – and if they’re into coffee, this is our pick. Terra Kaffe’s TK-01 is an automatic espresso machine that combines push-button technology with the freshness of whole-bean coffee for the perfect cup of coffee every time. It’s an ode to classic espresso but has the bells and whistles to accommodate whatever they’re into. It’s a gift they’ll thank you for each and every day. Here’s why we love it…
First and foremost, the TK-01 makes Really Good Coffee. With precise control over espresso extraction volume, temperature, coffee dosage, and more, they’ll be able to create coffee drinks that rival (and, more likely, beat) those at their neighborhood coffee shop.The freshness of the beans combined with the machine's meticulous brewing process makes for an unmatched at-home experience.
Founder Sahand Dilmaghani's vision for the TK-01 extended beyond exceptional coffee – it’s about sustainability, too. The brand eliminates the need for non-recyclable coffee pods: TK-01 sales have prevented ~one million pods from ending up in landfills. In addition to feeling good about their morning routine, they’ll also enjoy better-tasting coffee (did you know pods are stuffed with coffee that can be up to a year old?) and save money (those café lattes add up!). That’s a win-win-win.
Setting up the TK-01 couldn't be easier: It arrives fully assembled, so they’ll just have to lift it onto their countertop, add water, and get going. Compact and manageable at 23 lbs, it won't take up much space in their kitchen, either. Whether they prefer to use whole beans or pre-ground coffee, the TK-01 will accommodate them; plus, it's compatible with various types of milk – whole, soy, almond, oat, you name it.
The best types of gifts are easy to manage, and the TK-01 is exactly that. When it's time to clean the milk system, all they’ll have to do is connect the milk hose to the drip tray and start the rinse cycle on-screen. The TK-01 uses its own hot water to rinse the milk hose(!!). The larger components (carafe, waste chamber) can easily be cleaned by hand – it’s honestly a breeze. They’ll be singing your praises every morning.
