We're so happy you enjoyed the improvements made from TK-01 to TK-02! Thank you for your kind words and helpful feedback! If anyone has further feedback, please feel free to share in the comments and we'll be here to take notes.
@@ivycolman Hello Ivy! We recommend refrigerating your milk. The milk carafe is removable from the machine for the purpose of being refrigerated inside your fridge- meaning you don't need to refill it daily!
Dan! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with everyone and for the honest feedback, both on the TK-02 and TK-01. All helpful input that goes back to the team and towards the R&D process to make a uniquely enjoyable and special product. To all those in the comments, please share features and functions you'd love to see pushed to the machine in the future.
You still have to put the cup in place. The only reason for an app I assume is a deep dive into the settings - which I’d think would be doable from that massive looking screen. Or maybe you put the cup in place in bed (and don’t want milk) and want to hit start before you walk in the room? I mean you’d leave the milk in the fridge overnight, walk out, attach the milk thing and then pull out your phone? I guess I’m too old school. I am going to want milk in my coffee so I’m going to put a cup in place, attach the milk thing from the refrigerator, and press go. I’m having a hard time imagining the app being helpful.
Hey there! Sahand, founder of Terra Kaffe here. Definitely a topic we heavily debated early on in the development of the TK-02. One distinction I'd make it simply having a touch display is different than the compute power you get with your smart phone, which unlocks a wide array of functions (eg, customization with new drinks and uploading espresso profiles to the machine, wake n' brew functionality, device stats, home screen customization, predictive maintenance notifications, quick access to customer support & FAQs, etc.). While not necessarily needing an app per se for OTA (over-the-air) updates, having a connected device was critical to unlock the power of OTAs. That's what enables us to take user feedback and push improvements to your machine without having to get a new one. With that said, we actually made sure all core functions of the device are possible to access and utilize via the touch display of the machine without the app, unlike some of our competitors, so as to no limit those who may not want to use it... sort of an Oregon Trail - pick your own journey approach. In any case, Hope some of this context is helpful!
@@sahanddilmaghani2369 OK, that makes more sense. So in theory I could do OTA updates, and program in my favorite brew, temp, reach out to customer support, etc. more easily from the app. And then still just walk up to it, put the cup, and milk in place and hit go without having to go through settings on the machine. I get it! Thanks!
This looks awesome! I’ve been wanting a more smart coffee maker for a long time now. Thanks for making a video on this. It looks like it’s exactly what I want.
ios and mac os are derived from U.C. Berkeley Software Distribution. coffee pot app was created at Cambridge. see *Quentin Stafford-Fraser - The First Webcam (aka The Trojan Room Coffee Pot cam)* for yourself.
We have had so many issues with this machine we are sending it back. The serving sizes, one cup of drip coffee comes out ok, next one is dirty water. Very inconsistent
I think for what it is aka a super automatic no waste (We use the espresso leftovers for compost) espresso machine, these things are worth their weight in gold. I have the tk1 and am looking into the 2 for all the new features which I wish mine had. I live with my parents and my brother lives next-door so between the four of us, it has definitely paid itself off.
It looks great! I got a similar machine from Delonghi about 12-14 years ago. The milk function has given up and there are some minor issues but it still works well enough. Might consider to update with this one though. Is is available in Japan? And what is the price range?
Your TK-01 review was one of the reasons I decided to splurge on one for Christmas a couple of years back. I don't think I can justify spending the cost of the TK-02, but I'm glad to see you review it. By the way, I'm always making an espresso followed by a cappuccino to get the coffee/milk balance I want. Can the TK-02 be set to make that combination my desired cappuccino drink?
why is it brewing cold coffee? heat/pressure is critical for a good brew/espresso especially at the super automatic category which this thing is kinda priced in. sounds like this is all form over function. also you can automate an extremely good brew with a simple tp-link smart plug and a moccamaster which is a few hundred bucks. prep it the night before and have the tp-link smart plug automatically turn on at 8am or whenever you wake up.i would skip this terra kaffe over the luke warm brews alone.
I was referring to the previous model. This one brews at a great temperature by default of drink settings but you can adjust if need be. I like mine a bit warmer
Great question! Sahand, founder of Terra Kaffe here. The connectivity allows for two primary benefits: (i) you get a unique level of customization with the compute power of a phone, so as good as our touch screen is (best in the biz:), we won't be able to compete with your smart phone and figured it's best to join forces as we learned from our first machine, TK-01, people LOVE to customize. (ii) you get the option for OTAs (over-the-air) updates. That enables us to take real customer feedback and push improvements to your machine without having to get a new one - like fine wine, get's better with time!
Indeed there is a connected Siemens, but the TK-02 is less expensive, offers far more customization, and a superior design & build quality. While design is subjective, as a team that works with all ex-Apple designers, it feels rather cut & dry on the TK-02 implementing a more contemporary design language.
That company literally is on its second coffee maker ever. It’s made in CHINA 🇨🇳 and many BBB complaints. Many point out poor build quality etc. This company also has deceptive / misleading advertising. They advertise $600 off the tk02 but it’s actually only 500 off and you get the 600 with a subscription service for their coffee. Miele and Bosch both Germany have units which are better and around the same price
I feel like I don't want one of these until they come with some kind of cold storage for the milk, the idea that milk stays at room temperature in a container isn't very appealing to me. According to the USDA milk can stay out of the fridge for two hours before pathogenic microorganisms start forming, as they like to grow in temperatures between 40 to 140 degrees... So unless you're willing to refill the milk container for every coffee or keep the container in the fridge having to take it out for every coffee and connect it, then clean the connector before placing it back into the fridge. I could tell from the video the connector got coffee splash back on it so yeah, gonna have to clean that sucker up first before placing it back into the fridge... I mean, for a $1400(!!) machine that's supposed to make coffee making sooo amazing and effortless it sure seems like a hassle having to either refill or attach/detach and clean the milk container. In other words; you literally cannot wake up to a hot latte in the morning because the milk would have to stay connected to the machine while you sleep for 8 hours, keep the machine an I'll keep my money. Sorry @terrakaffe
Good news, the TK-02 is not 100% app dependent:) There are functionalities that are unlocked via the app given the compute power provided by a smart phone and, in general, the connectivity offers the device the ability to be updated and advanced over time with OTAs.
@@sahanddilmaghani2369you said it doesn’t require an app then in the next sentence say you will not have full functionality without it. If any functionality is dependent on your servers being online indefinitely I wouldn’t buy it from a decades old brand, much less a startup.
@@warrenj3204 The only home devices that should be connected to your phone would be your washer/dryer and maybe the oven/range and that's for timers/warnings ONLY.
just checked. 1500 USD??? Are you out of your mind??? For something that will probably stop working by the next 3 years and won’t be reparable? Those lcd screen are nice but in those devices they always end with problems. No thanks.
Hey there! Sahand, Founder of Terra Kaffe here. I see your last videos with the unit were 5 months ago. Did you get a chance to experience the OTA update in April? We benchmarked against all other comparable super-autos (Jura Z10, Dinamica Plus, Miele CM6360, etc.) and actually come out at parity, if not better, in temperature against our peer group. In any case, I am sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with your machine. Happy to chat further or even hop on a call to learn more about your experience, if of interest.
@@sahanddilmaghani2369the return date was before any available updates. So I lost my early backer discount and won’t pay full price for this, nor would Terra honor the original price after any of the updates came out. From reading the FB Terra page many people still have lukewarm beverages and microwave their milk too. Love to chat.
@@sahanddilmaghani2369 I would love to chat with you if you have a moment. Currently, we own the TK-1 and we are on our 3rd replacement over the past 1.5 years.. at this very moment, it’s not working and continues to shut off. We have had an electrician out, changed the breaker and added a dedicated gfci to the circuit and it still shuts off. The electrician said it’s 100% the machine…anyways, I would like to get the TK-2 but it’s hard for me to justify the reliability given my experience on to mention the hefty price tag. Customer service offered a trade-in value, but it really wasn’t much.. Would you be able to assist us?.. thank you so much!
Not Worth the Investment - Poor Reliability and Customer Service I bought the TK2 less than a year ago, and while the coffee is good, the machine is unreliable. Mine broke, and despite being under warranty, Terra Kaffe refused a replacement, only offering repair. They even forgot to include the link for the shipping label, adding unnecessary hassle. For a high-end machine, I expected better support and reliability. Don’t waste your time or money on the TK2 - I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
Hey there! Founder of Terra Kaffe here. Fair call out on the milk tube. Small tweak - the milk carafe is actually backwards in this vid, perhaps to show the port where it comes out. It actually threads around the back of the carafe and doesn't interfere with the spouts at all.
@@sahanddilmaghani2369 oh , so this wasn't by design then.. i just watched another video of how its supposed to be . apologies ! otherwise looks amazing
People … some perspective, please! Nobody needs something that makes coffee or espresso that costs over $100. Buy a stovetop maker for $20 and give the remaining $1480 to a charity.
I’m confused … are these comments satire? You guys are serious? Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, should need or even want an iPhone interface to a fucking coffee maker. It’s immediately, obviously absurd. It’s comical. Or it would be if you guys weren’t being so goddamn serious about it. The world has lots of very real, very serious problems. And we’re discussing the nuances of a coffee pot with internet access? Wow.
We're so happy you enjoyed the improvements made from TK-01 to TK-02! Thank you for your kind words and helpful feedback! If anyone has further feedback, please feel free to share in the comments and we'll be here to take notes.
Are there any plans to have a plumbed version with auto refill of water? I currently have that on my Spinn Pro and love it.
@@golfingfinatic Noted! 👀
@@terrakaffeis there a internal refrigerator for the milk? Does the milk need to be refilled daily or can it stay in there until it's use by date?
Might be interested in this if your tv commercials weren’t so smug and condescending to users. Try some humility.

Hey there! Sahand, founder of TK here. Love to hear it and let me know if you have any questions on the TK-02
What is it about your life that has gone so astray that something as stupid as a “smart” coffee maker is something you have actually thought about?

Can't argue with that! Mine too:)
That's disgusting when you get grounds in your coffee
