Grinds, brews and froths beautifully
on April 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine works as beautifully as it looks! It took a little bit of trial and error to get it right, but there were clear concise directions to help guide you. The bean tank holds a good amount of espresso and the water tank is large as well. It grinds quickly and is not too loud. Oncedd the settings were right it brewed a delicious espresso. The attached milk steamer works well and is easy to move around to get the angle that you need. It is easy to clean, either wiping down with a rag or taking off and washing the detachable pieces. I would recommend this machine to any coffee lover!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grinding performance is exceptional, consistently producing finely ground coffee for that perfect espresso shot. The build quality is robust and sleek, giving it a premium feel on my kitchen counter. I found the price to be very reasonable considering the features and quality it offers. Brewing with this machine is a joy—the espresso is rich and flavorful every time. Plus, cleaning is a breeze with its removable parts and intuitive design. Overall, a fantastic investment for any coffee enthusiast looking for quality and convenience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received the KitchenAid semi automatic espresso machine. It took about few try’s to really get the hang of it but now I am brewing exceptional espresso at home! Love the different grinding level options, options for a double shot is a must for me and this espresso machine has that too! Temperature level for the water is great!! It also has a milk steamer and a spout for hot water which is very handy for tea making! All in all I am pretty impressed with this machine!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it a-latte! This machine is so easy to use. Setup was simple and now I can enjoy iced lattes on a warm summer night! It brews so quickly and the steamer is practical and easy to use.

Great machine for the espresso aficionado.
on April 15, 2024
Posted by: marys619
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a neat machine and would be perfect for the espresso aficionado. It grinds the beans (very quietly!), and allows for so many customizations to both the grind and the espresso drip. The flavor was great and I felt like I was drinking a true espresso shot from a cafe. It’s easy to clean, comes with everything you could need for your drinks, and has a nice storage drawer for the various parts. It’s also a reasonable size for a kitchen counter.
I typically use a fully automatic espresso machine, so compared to that this had a lot more steps for set-up (I’ll admit, I struggled a bit) and to use BUT for someone that likes to customize the grind, the pressure, etc. this would be a great machine. For the lazier espresso drinker, an automatic machine might be a better investment.

Smooth, creamy Americanos- could be easier to use!
on March 26, 2024
Posted by: megm81
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really do love the quality of espresso I get from this machine- the grinding performance is stellar- so quick, so fine, so smooth. But, alas, i've found it rather difficult to learn to use if i'm being completely honest. I scanned the QR code, and watched the limited videos provided, and even youtubed some of my own trying to learn but all I can get the machine to brew consistently is an Americano- granted, a delish one, but still. Frustrating. I realize this is mostly a user error issue, but not for lack of trying so it is included in my review.

Quick and easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how you’re able to do 2 things in one on the spot. The scent of the coffee beans grinding is amazing. It is very simple to use. I’m able to make my espresso shots all in one.
