We really wanted this service to work, but the entire experience turned into a nightmare. Our very first Demi arrived defective. The beans would not grind at all, so we had to send that machine back and wait for another one. The replacement Demi initially worked, but within a short period of time it developed another major hardware issue. The brew unit became stuck, the lever broke, and the machine stopped brewing properly. At that point, after already dealing with one defective machine, we agreed to upgrade to a TK-02. We were originally told the TK-02 would take about 1–2 weeks to process and that once we dropped the defective Demi off with UPS, the replacement would begin processing. We returned the Demi exactly as instructed, only to have the broken machine unexpectedly shipped back to us because the return failed. Meanwhile, the TK-02 sat in “preparing to ship” status with no tracking for an extended period. After escalating the issue, a logistics manager finally stepped in, confirmed the failed return had not delayed the replacement, and arranged expedited shipping. We finally received the TK-02 and were genuinely excited to open it, but that excitement disappeared almost immediately. The machine arrived visibly dirty and looked used. So at this point, we had received one Demi that arrived broken, a second Demi that failed shortly afterward, dealt with a failed return shipment and delays, and then finally received a TK-02 that looked dirty and previously used. That was the final straw. We have now asked to cancel the rental entirely and return the machine. We genuinely wanted to like the service, but after multiple defective machines, shipping problems, delays, poor communication, and the condition of the TK-02 when it arrived, we no longer have any confidence in continuing. Very disappointing experience from start to finish.

Well I joined the rental program and it's almost been a month and I haven't received my machine and they say that they ship out with intend to 13 or 14 or 15 days and nothing. I've called in twice and I get the runaround and they say they'll get back to me and then they don't. Then I call a different number and I get the Philippines which is no problem when they can actually help you. We were hoping that this rental program would be cool but I finally talked to somebody today and he said he had a little bit of information and it sounds like they don't have enough machines well that would be nice to know before they start taking more bookings.

I purchased a Terra Kaffe TK-01 in May 2023. Less than a year later, it was already having issues and Terra Kaffe provided a replacement brew unit. Now, only a few years into ownership, the machine has developed an electrical fault and is shorting out. What concerns me most is Terra Kaffe’s response. I went back and forth with customer support through several emails and escalated the issue. The representative ultimately told me she was part of management, had personally reviewed my case, and that Terra Kaffe’s decision was final. Their solution was for me to pay for a repair, buy a refurbished replacement, or spend more money on another Terra Kaffe machine. More importantly, this is an electrical issue. If Terra Kaffe has seen this type of failure before, that raises obvious questions about the product and why they are not addressing it. If they have not seen it before, I would expect them to want the machine back so they can determine why it is electrically shorting and make sure there is not a safety issue. Instead, I now have an expensive premium coffee machine taking up space that cannot safely make coffee, with no resolution other than spending more money with a company whose product has already had multiple issues and that has taken no ownership of the latest failure. No thanks. For the price of these machines, I expected much better longevity and much better customer support. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Terra Kaffe.

I had my TK-02 for about 5 months until I received an error message one day. The machine wouldn't brew or turn on. I emailed their customer support because there is no phone number for customer service. About two weeks later they sent me a box to ship it back to them. Well, about 5 weeks later my machine comes back and its completely soaked? Besides that, there are coffee stains all over the outer shell of the machine. I will not ever be buying from this company again simply for the customer service and subpar machine that broke after a few months. They seem to be more interested in running ad campaigns to appeal to millenials instead of having a good product. steer clear.

I was sent a defective machine that had to be returned. They sent me another one which was unable to perform to my liking (not hot enough, milk spraying issues, app and connectivity issues). They allowed me to return everything free of cost and were understanding of the issues. However, they offered me an Aeris Glass as an incentive to leave a review specifically on Trustpilot, against trust pilots policies.

Took my money and never shipped. Contacted support many times and told it should be shipping soon. Finally some one contacted me and said to wait another approx 3 weeks for any machine. Online still shows all machines in stock “ships now”. Left review on website. Does not show any review less than 4 stars!

Horrible customer service! Horrible coffee do yourself a favor and buy a real espresso machine. Ninja is 100 times better. Some woman named Perla was absolutely helpless and honestly rude and disgusting and could not solve my problem. The stupid machine freezes every other day. It’s a mess you’re going to lose your mind with this machine.

I have a 2 1/2 year old Terra Kaffe TK-02. When I got the machine, I loved it and the drinks it produced. The automatic features were terrific. However, after about a year - the machine fell apart. First - all of a sudden the unit stopped brewing strong coffee. I was instructed by TK to send it in for repair.... That took six weeks. When it came back - it was not fixed. They did replace the machine as it was on warranty. Then recently after another year machine got so hot inside - the heat deformed the side panel and I was worried about a fire. Terra Kaffe said - send it for repair for only $350. I said - no - that won't fix it based on my experience and I wound throwing out the machine as it was out of warranty. The only good thing about the deformed panel was it created an air path for better ventilation. My god for a price point of 2x what you can buy from a competitor I think "we" deserve better. I should have a machine that does not fall apart in front of my eyes. Buyer beware.
