Instead of buying a separate pod machine, a cold-brew pitcher, and a stand-alone milk frother, the new OptiBrew line puts everything into one super-slim, 6.75-inch-wide machine.

The whole setup runs on regular ground coffee — meaning zero plastic pods to throw away — and uses smart temperature tech to make sure your coffee tastes good, not burnt.

You can brew a single 8-oz cup before heading out the door, or brew a full 12-cup pot in under 8 minutes when people come over.

While the base OptiBrew handles standard drip and iced coffee, the U.S.-bound OptiBrew Pro goes a step further for latte lovers.

It adds a "Coffee Shot" button that makes super-strong, espresso-style coffee, plus a built-in whisk on the side to froth hot or cold milk for fancy drinks.

The OptiBrew Pro gives you five distinct brew styles to match whatever you're craving: Regular — Classic hot drip calibrated for smooth, balanced morning sipping.

Bold — A stronger, richer hot brew for an extra punchy kick.

Over Ice — Brews concentrated hot coffee directly over ice without watering down your drink.

Rapid Cold Brew — Cuts out the traditional overnight wait, using specialized pressure and flow extraction to deliver low-acid, refreshing cold brew in minutes instead of 24 hours.

Concentrated Coffee Shot — The Pro’s secret weapon — a fifth brew mode that creates a rich, intense coffee concentrate built specifically as a base for lattes and cappuccinos.
