Amazing machine for an amazing drink
on March 23, 2024
Posted by: katarinar2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is fantastic. Every element of it works amazing. Everything is easy to use and learning time as someone who has never made espresso was very easy. The grinder does a great job grinding the beans and the milk frother is amazing as well. The machine works great grinding beans or using pre-ground. I really love this product and it has really elevated my coffee experience everyday. Also the parts are all easy to clean and I really like how big the water tank is.

Smooth & Easy!
on March 23, 2024
Posted by: ceeruhhhh_1940
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE THIS ESPRESSO MACHINE! I’ve always been really intimidated by espresso machines because it looks hard to make. However, Kitchen Aid’s Semi Automatic Espresso Machine made things so much easier! There’s a guide with how to make sure you’re grinding the beans properly (either fine or coarse) so that the espresso comes out smooth. Theres also a guide with different types of drinks you can make. There’s many cool features including the milk steamer, the stamp that packs the ground beans, the gauge which shows you if the espresso is going to come out at the right temperature, and much more. Honestly, since receiving this Espresso machine, I haven’t bought any other coffee. It’s quick & easy and one of the best machines I’ve ever had to review!

Rekindled my love for coffee
on March 18, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I consider myself a casual coffee drinker. I usually drink it for an emergency pick-me-up or socially. The latter was normally done on a kettle style machine or a simple, manual coffee maker; while emergencies were handled at a coffee shop or via k-cup.
That all changed with this machine. Making a high quality cup of espresso is typically a rather involved process, and while there is still the expected step-by-step routine with this Kitchenaid, it is so efficiently designed that you hardly need an instruction manual to use it.
Based on efficiency, versatility, design and the ability to crank out an excellent espresso in no time, this machine gets a shining 5 star review from me.
I can't wait to show off my skills at my next get together!

Great countertop appliance for any coffee lover!
on March 25, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was gifted this machine in exchange for my honest review. First, the set up directions for this espresso maker left quite a bit to be desired. I struggled on which buttons did what, which parts were what, and how to put it all together.
Since setting it up, it has made really great coffee! It pulls smooth shots with a beautiful crema (I’m not an espresso aficionado or barista, but it does the job for me!) I choose it over the coffee shop, drip coffee, or even my nespresso machine every day.
The grinder does a great job and the hot water is a nice feature to make americanos and even tea, as it heats up very quickly. I’ve had trouble with the steaming wand (I can’t seem to get a good foam on the milk no matter how hard I try, but that could just be user error, as I’m still learning how to use it (it does get the milk nice and hot!)
Overall, speaking as someone who is a novice and beginner when it comes to espresso, this machine is great. It makes delicious coffees and doesn’t take up too much space on the counter!

Great unit!
on March 19, 2024
Posted by: crystaln1530
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great espresso machine! It’s easy to use and so convenient that the grinder is on the unit. You can tell the machine is great quality and built well. It brews some good espresso. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is I was having a problem with the storage drawer. When I pulled the bottom out the drawer would unattached or get stuck, not sure if it’s a bad design or I wasn’t doing it right. But overall the unit looks and works great I would recommend! I did receive this complimentary from influencer to test and this my honest opinion
