Firmware v33 rolls out April 14, bringing community-driven improvements to the TK-02—no app update needed, and rollout may take up to two weeks.
New "Grind Through" feature allows users to grind beans without brewing, perfect for switching beans or using the TK-02 as a standalone grinder.
Sleep timer and cleaning routine updated for more convenience: standby time extended from 30 minutes to 60 minutes and cleaning now starts with a quieter cycle.

Your TK-02 experience just got smoother—meet v33.

Starting April 14, version 33 of the TK-02 firmware will begin rolling out nationwide. This update brings a few community-requested changes designed to improve your daily coffee routine. As a reminder, firmware updates can take up to two weeks to reach your machine. There is no need to update the app as these are machine-only updates.

Introducing Grind Through

One of the most community-requested features is here: Grind Through. This lets you grind and eject coffee from the machine without brewing, making it easier to clear out the hopper before switching beans. With a clean waste bin, you can even use your TK-02 as a standalone grinder and pre-ground coffee capture.

How to use it:

Go to Advanced Settings → Grind Through
Select grind coarseness (same as for espresso or drip)
Set the number of repetitions (similar to selecting shots for espresso)
If using the grounds, ensure the waste bin is clean and dry before pressing start. This update opens up more ways to use your machine — especially if you like to switch things up often.

A More Convenient Sleep Timer

We heard you — 30 minutes to standby was too short, leading to unexpected delays. Now, the timer is set to 60 minutes, giving you a smoother morning routine with less waiting for your machine to heat up.

A Quieter Cleaning Routine

The automatic cleaning cycle at sleep has been adjusted. We’ve re-ordered the routine to start with the quieter cleaning first, giving you a subtle heads-up before the steam kicks in.

These updates are all about refining the daily TK-02 experience, and we appreciate the community feedback that helped shape them. Keep an eye out for the update over the next couple of weeks, and as always, happy brewing!
