Solid espresso machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine has a quality feel to it and a polished black & chrome look. It has a nice big water reservoir and it's easy to froth up some milk for your cappuccino.
It comes with different size metal cups, depending on how much coffee grinds you want to use. I'm not entirely sure whether that's better or worse, as for example it's difficult to press the coffee into the single-cup attachment well (due to it's curve at the bottom).
Overall, it makes a good espresso with a strong taste (just as it should). I couldn't manage to get that espresso coffee foam right but then again my coffee grind may not have been fine enough.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Delicious Expresso, Cappucino & Lattes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've never owned an expresso machine before and now what a pleasure it is to be able to make not only expresso but delicious lattes & cappucinos. Most of the machines we've seen at other peoples homes have in comparison been quite a bit larger in size. I appreciate the fact this takes up much less countertop space while still making top quality drinks. Years ago my wife was a barista and in no time I had a latte to enjoy. There is a slight learning curve for the novice, lucklily I had help but still had to refer to the manual a few times when on my own. So much is up to the indivual on exactly what their preference is for that perfect expresso, latte or cappucino. I have been experiementing with both the steam wand & milk frother, I haven't perfected my use of the steam wand yet but will in time.
We have several roasts which we grind ourselves, again my wife has taught me to make a perfect expresso grind which of course is important for the overall taste of the expresso. The machine also has a built-in descaling program which is important for maintenance, so bravo. Very satisfied with the quality & flavor produced by the expresso maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I KitchenAid has done it yet again with another fabulous espresso machine. And let’s just brag, another appliance in general.. Lol I absolutely like KitchenAid and so does the wife. And I myself was a barista when my wife and I started dating and this espresso machine take us back to those wonderful times. This espresso machine features smart temperature sensors which make for the perfect brew and heating technology that heats the water up to the idea brewing temperature. All less than 45 seconds! Like i said,
Outstanding...

Bring the Barista Home!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why waste all that money buying espressos from all those fancy stores, when you can make the same quality maybe even better right at home. Barista style espresso and cappuccinos are now possible right at home with the new KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso machine along with the automatic milk frother attachment. The KitchenAid espresso machine is compact, solid built piece of machine, and you can feel the build quality, along with all the provided accessories, you will no longer have to leave your home for some fancy coffee all while looking beautiful in your kitchen.
The setup process did take me a few minutes to kind of figure out what piece went where but after that I brewed a mean cup of espresso, probably the best I ever had. After that I brewed some cappuccinos that my wife thought they were from a coffee shop. The best part is that you can create the drink just how you like it all while saving money. I love coffee and honestly love the KitchenAid Espresso Machine.
Since we have covered all the good, now let’s go over the bad or the things I was not particularly a fan of. The only issue I came across with this unit was the milk frother. The Milk frother attachment works great, adds the perfect amount of steam and does an awesome job frothing the milk to the perfect consistency, you can also remove the container in the back of the unit and just place the intake hose directly into your container of choice. The issue lies with the cleaning of the unit. I had to run the unit a couple of times with just clean water to get all the milk out of the system, which actually worked just fine but it is a bit cumbersome. If you fail to clean out the hose, you will end up with dried up milk which will eventually clogging it up. So, you have to make sure that you run clean water a couple of time though the unit once you are done using it. Overall, the KitchenAid espresso machine is probably the best espresso maker that I own, that allows me to customize my drinks my way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this a week ago and I absolutely loved it! It’s like having a coffeehouse right in your kitchen. Easy to clean, love how the milk frother is detachable. It’s fairly easy to set up and use, heats up quite nicely and the makes a really good cup of coffee. Highly recommended for someone who is looking for an espresso machine for the house!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is a lovely home espresso machine. I have had a nespresso to date but was tired of the pods going stale and not tasting fresh. this takes a little more work, but it is well worth it for a better tasting, fresher coffee
