I’m impressed!
on March 11, 2024
Posted by: jeyingleuhu
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. Kitchenaid products are a staple in my kitchen and for good reason! This compact full service espresso machine comes with a grinder, steamer and all the needed accessories. There is a slight learning curve with how to use the machine, but after you read through the manual once, you’ll pretty much get the hang of it. The grinder creates a uniform grind based on your desired level of coarseness. The espresso shot itself extracts with a nice crema and you could easily enjoy it alone or turn it into whatever espresso based beverage you’d like.

Fantastic Machine
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine rules. It grinds the beans, dispenses them, makes the espresso, and steams the milk. It does everything and I love it more than any appliance in my house. It’s pretty quiet when grinding which I really like. Has double or single shot espresso option. There’s a pressure meter and a lever to adjust the coarseness of the beans. I love everything about it. I’ll be using this thing for years.

Best. Coffee. Ever.
on April 9, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’d give it 100 stars if I could. This feels like a professional set up. I have my own coffee shop in my home now! It does have a bit of a learning curve if you aren’t used to anything beyond coffee pods. But it comes with instructions and a great recipe book.

Best Espresso Machine On the Market
on April 15, 2024
Posted by: danielles323
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This appliance is incredible, it offers an attached grinder to give the ultimate freshest espresso possible. The build quality is durable and really beautifully built. Cleaning this is a breeze, a nice wipe down and you’re good to do. The pricing is competitive with other brands and all around a steal of a deal when compared to what’s on the market. This is a must buy for any espresso lover like myself! Absolutely gorgeous machinery to make my mornings a breeze.

Inconsistent performance
on April 20, 2024
Posted by: victoriaisrealshort
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For a first-time user espresso machine, this semi-automatic espresso machine left me a bit perplexed. While it has three preset temperature settings and a pressure gauge, it often produces inconsistent results, finishing shots before reaching optimal pressure and unevenly saturating coffee grounds, ruining the shot. Cleaning the portafilter is a hassle with hidden moisture pockets, and you can't monitor the pour due to the plastic bottom. Among the issues was excess water in the drip tray that seems to accumulate magically. When it performs well, it can deliver even saturation and consistent pressure. The steam wand is surprisingly strong, creating velvety milk textures. Setup was manageable after consulting the manual, though priming the pump posed a challenge. When it works, it can make adequate espresso from good coffee beans, though results are not guaranteed.

BEST GIFT OF 2024
on March 24, 2024
Posted by: maddiewnuk
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] INLFLUENSTER 👏 KEEPS 👏 SURPRISING 👏 ME! I received this KitchenAid Espresso Maker as part of a VoxBox Campaign and I swear my life is so different with this in it 😭😭 This machine is QuietMark certified meaning it’s sooooo quiet in the mornings unlike most espresso machines that would wake my whole house up at 6AM. There’s a warming pad on top of the machine that keeps my cup warm while my beans are grinding. Also paired with a steamer and hot water spout, this KitchenAid Espresso Machine is one-of-a-kind and so far the best part of my 2024!
