That plastic piece inside the faucet is an aerator. It will unscrew and you can use something like this to attach a normal garden hose fitting to it.

The cleanest way to do it would be to get a tee and connect it to the water supply valve under the sink, if you are comfortable doing that. Then you can still use the sink too.

The tee is $10 at the hardware store.

I just realized the kitchen faucet comes off with a female threaded hose. Attaching pictures. Will this work?

Easiest way to connect would be under a sink. RO plastic line is very easy to connect and disconnect from a fitting.
From the under sink valve, install a T and have your RO/DI system just sit on the cabinet floor. Install a valve on the output line and you can make water anytime you want.
