Beautiful machine, delicious espresso
on March 13, 2024
Posted by: danieli14
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where to begin with this amazing machine, from easy cleaning to delicious espresso. Grinding coffee is easily done and don’t need to worry about quality because it’s there. Built to last, however a bit on the higher end side of cost but you can definitely see why with how great this machine is. Definitely recommend with how quick and easy I can make a delicious hot cappuccino!

Overall Good Machine
on March 11, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Kitchen Aid semi-automatic espresso machine brews like a dream…if you can get it fired up. I had trouble getting the grinding process to start, and there are no troubleshooting instructions available. Luckily, it started to work after sitting unplugged. I would have given it 4 stars if I didn’t have the Breville Barista Express to compare it to.
Pros:
Very quiet compared to similar models
Extra large water tank
Super high quality grinder
Really solid portafilter and tamper
LED lights illuminate the grinding process
Brews an AWESOME cup

Cons:
No resources to troubleshoot errors
Lots of trial and error to find correct grind
The start button looks CHEAP (like a cardboard sticker) and brings down the appearance of the entire machine
Hot water stream is slow
Button toggle system has a delay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first espresso machine and WOW am I blown away. It took some time to dial in the settings for grind size and amount, but once I fine tuned the details it spits out a great shot of espresso every time!

OBSESSED
on March 16, 2024
Posted by: erindbdfd
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first espresso machine, previously I was using a nespresso machine and this is so much better. The flavor is so so much better thanks to the freshly ground beans from the burr machine. I will never need to go to a coffee shop again. I was intimated at first knowing nothing about espresso makers but this is so user friendly. The machine does all of the hard work for you yet you still can customize the drink just how you want. My advise would be to set it up and test it out on a day where you aren’t needing to use it for your caffeine fix. Follow the instructions and you will be golden but I did it on a morning before any caffeine and it would have been much faster if I had a clear mind!

Best coffee we’ve ever had!
on March 15, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone that has tried this coffee maker has said it makes the best coffee ever. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and looks great on the counter. It seems very high quality and we all enjoy using it! Only thing I would be aware of is that the steam/frother is very loud inside of the stainless steel cup. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a full service coffee machine.

If you love strong coffee at home, GET THIS!!
on March 11, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a product I received for free from @Influenster and @KitchenAid in exchange for my honest review. KitchenAid has long been hailed as a reliable household brand and this espresso machine is no different. It makes a delicious and smooth espresso in just a few minutes. It’s very easy to use, once you start. It came with all the necessary equipment and is compact enough that it doesn’t take up a ton of space. The machine itself is well made, and probably doesn’t need to be cleaned after every use, but I do that due to my own personal preference. It looks nice in my kitchen and is a light stainless steel that blends well with my other appliances.

Amazing coffee with a little practice
on April 7, 2024
Posted by: freenat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first experience using an espresso machine. The machine seems well-built. The brewing quality gets better the more I use it & adjust the settings. It’s relatively easy to clean. I have been a bit confused about some of the instructions or lack thereof, so I had to do a little research. At first, I thought I was missing parts. They were in a tray behind the drip tray, but I didn’t see any reference in the booklets. I could see the tray but didn’t know how to get it out. Clarification in the docs would be helpful. The price seems expensive, but using this regularly instead of buying from coffee shops may end up costing less in the end. The flavor, quality, and customization of drinks at home can’t be beat by any other coffee maker I’ve owned. I look at my old coffee maker and wonder who would want it.
