Your TK-01 comes with two ways to make milk-based drinks. Please use only regular dairy milk or unsweetened, unflavored alternative milk. Never use creamer, half and half, or flavored milks with your TK-01’s milk system, as these can easily damage the frothing mechanism.

The first way to use your TK-01’s milk function is with the included carafe. Hook up the regular hose to the machine, with the hooked end in the spout and the other end in the hole of the carafe lid. Ensure your carafe contains milk, then brew a milk-based drink or use the standalone MILK button.

The second way to use the milk function is with the open-ended hose. Connect the hooked end of the hose to the spout, and insert the open-ended side of the hose directly into a cup or container of milk. Ensure your open-ended hose is fully submerged in milk, then brew a milk-based drink or use the standalone MILK button.

Don’t forget to adjust the milk frothing dial, located inside the left door, to find your perfect milk texture. Start with the dial turned all the way clockwise, then slowly turn it counterclockwise as the milk dispenses to experiment with texture.
