[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is my first time using an espresso machine and it did take a lot of reading and research to do. it was really really loud! i did not expect that. The instructions were very clear and the illustrations helped a lot. It wasn't hard to clean at all but it is tedious because you have to clean all of the items it comes with. The coffee I made was amaaazing!! The steamed milk was very sweet so I didnt have to add a lot of sugar. I really love this machine and I look forward to learning how to make latte art!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my fiance as a birthday gift she is a woman who can't start her day without coffee and she absolutely loves it everything about it seems very well made , she told me how she loves how all the attachments came with it so she can make all her favorite morning drinks in the house .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine and Auto Milk Frother is the first residential expresso machine the features dual smart temperature sensors, that maintain the perfect brewing temperature shot after shot. This brings espresso-making at home with professional quality.
The machine comes well packed. All pieces are individually wrapped and the machine itself has additional wrapping. It took some time to get all the pieces unwrapped and cleaned. The setup was simple, thanks to the easy instructions. Included are 2 Quick Start Guides that are simple and easy to understand. I appreciated the one for assembling the milk dispenser.
First fill the water tank with fresh water, insert the steam wand if not using automatic milk frother attachment. Then select your filter basket to your choice and press into the portafilter, add your choice of coffee, tap the portafilter to level using tamper then insert in into the machine ensuring it locks. Toggle the mode button to select espresso and select the number of shots (1 or 2). Press the on button. It has fast heating that heats water in less than 45 seconds. Which is amazing.
Once you get the hang of the machine you will no longer be spending money out on getting your coffee/espresso fix. This machine makes an amazing expresso and is super quick. You can also use the hot water function to make a regular cup of coffee or hot tea. I appreciate that the machine is not very large and fits on the countertop nicely. Which is nice for people with not a lot of counter space.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] KitchenAid is my go to brand for all kitchen appliances! We have an older coffee maker from them and it works great! However, this is our first espresso machine and I was not sure what to expect. I have to say, I am very impressed! It took me some time to figure out how it works and how to make the perfect cup of coffee, but now I use it almost every day for my afternoon after lunch coffee moment : ) I would recommend to take your time when starting with the machine, wash it well, and read all the instructions. I also found a few online videos with some tips and tricks that helped me a lot. This espresso machine now has a permanent spot on my counter! Oh, and the automatic milk frother is a nice touch! If you are looking for a new espresso machine, you have just found it!

Good for espressos

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is great for cappuccinos. The double espressos I made were decent but I felt they came out a bit more waterier than I prefer with only a slight bit of crema. The biggest pain point for me was that there was no burr grinder with this machine. I love KitchenAid products, and you know when you buy something of theirs that it will last long into the future.
