Congratulations on your Fully automatic espresso machine KF8

The on/off switch at the side will soon become part of your morning routine. Get up, switch on.

Just twist and lift to remove the hopper to empty, refill or switch beans. The Auto Purge function cleans out grounds when you change beans.

Fancy something different that's already ground? Or maybe decaf? Just skip what's in the grinder with this handy chute.

Fill to make up to 20 espresso shots*. Or make taller drinks without having to keep refilling. The filter helps stop limescale buildup.

Say goodbye to spills – the tray is big enough to catch them all so your coffee corner stays spotless. It even has an 'empty me' reminder.

Adjust the height up to 5.4" (13.7cm) to fit anything from a cute espresso cup to a tall glass. Then watch that deliciousness pour in.

The tube attaches to the milk container so the machine can steam, heat or froth the milk for you.

Pour your milk of plant-based drinks** in here and attach to the container. You can also store your milk in it, in your fridge, so it's all ready to pop on. It's 790ml BPA-free plastic.

Use this to test for the hardness of the water, which can affect the taste of the coffee. This is then programmed into the machine (see below).

Once you're switched on, follow the prompts on the display. You select your language and whether you want to install the water filter now.

Install the filter into the tank using the mounting aid. Test the hardness of your water with the testing strips, then enter that level into your machine.

Next, fill up the water tank with fresh water from the tap, slot it into place and close the lid.

Put your favourite beans in the bean hopper, locking it into place. We then recommend practising a few times before making your first real drink.

Make sure to place it directly under the nozzles on the drip tray. Tip: you can pre-heat your cup on the cup warmer space at the top.

Take your chosen milk container or carton and pop in the hose that's linked to the dispenser.

Use the touchscreen buttons to scroll to your dream drink. Then you can personalise it by temperature, strength, size and more, until it's perfect.

Ta da! That's it. If you liked the settings you chose, you can save them to your user profile to keep. Then just keep experimenting.

Even stronger than an espresso, the Ristretto is a 'short shot' of highly concentrated coffee. Same shot, less water.

The shot of coffee loved the world over. Water is forced through the grounds to make 30-45 ml of pure espresso.

A 'long' espresso with a bit more water and less intense taste. It's extracted more slowly and there's more to sip.

Fans of drip coffee may prefer this option, which makes a full cup of black coffee with a full and round flavour.

Your espresso is topped up with hot water to make an Americano. For those that like their espresso diluted.

The gorgeous '3 tier' look is achieved by the espresso being added last to give a marked tier and a robust first sip.

Stained milk — macchiato is a shot of espresso with a dash of hot milk to lend a little creaminess.

With less foam than cappuccino, less milk than latte, the Flat white was named after its flat milk top. Plenty of coffee kick.

Known for its light frothiness, this drink is made with 3 equal parts: espresso, steamed milk, milk foam. Add sprinkles to taste!

The traditional French coffee drink means 'coffee with milk' and has heated milk added, just as you'd pour from a pan.

The latte! A satisfying drink of espresso and steamed milk. It's heavier and creamier than options like cappuccino or flat white.

A drink with equal amounts of espresso and warm milk. The milk isn't foamed or texturised, but reduces the acidity of the shot.

It's convenient to dispense a cup of boiled water to use for anything you like! Drink it, add fresh mint, lemon, tea.

Some teas are delicate and require water below boiling (60°-80°C). Use this for green or perhaps white tea.

Milk heated with steam and volumised with tiny bubbles. You can add it to hot chocolate, for example.

Milk heated with steam. It has a raised temperature, but is not texturised or volumised like microfoam.

Auto brew unit rinsing' warms the machine on start-up and quickly rinses residue. After use, the machine prompts you to do 'easy milk rinsing' to avoid any milk buildup.

Wash the drip tray when it gets full, empty used coffee from the puck container and give the machine a wipe. If you make milky drinks, wash out the milk container and frother.

It's best to change the water filter every 2 months. You'll see prompts to run 'brew unit clean' and 'descale' to remove residue. 'Milk system cleaning' gives the milk system a deep clean.

If you're putting in new beans, Auto Purge makes sure the taste isn't compromised by any grounds left behind. Remember that you can adjust the grind size to optimise flavour!

When you first use the machine, make several test drinks to run the system through.

Fresh coffee is still bursting with flavour and it's best for the hopper too.

The machine has an integrated grinder and the grind size affects the taste. Choose finer for light roasts and coarser for darker.

Fancy it strong, hot, and milk-in-second? Customise the drink settings to fit your preference. You do you!
