Kitchen Staple for Coffee Drinkers
on March 20, 2024
Posted by: pamelah87
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item complimentary from Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion.
I am true fan of Kitchen Aid kitchen products. I have had a classic stand-alone mixer, hand mixer, coffee maker and other kitchen gadgets and they all have lasted years. The quality is excellent for the price you pay. My hubby is a coffee addict as is my whole family and I can only indulge occasionally due to health reasons but we all take our coffee drinking very seriously.
This machine has been a game changer for us. It was super easy to set up and came with instructions as well as recipes to test out. We were new to grinding our own coffee beans but this machine makes it easy and quick. Yes, it’s a bit loud but it is not a big deal. The coffee beans are milled and our coffee tastes very fresh and tasty. I never knew having a good grinder and grinding your own coffee beans could make such an impact on the quality of your coffee!
It’s quick for clean up and doesn’t have a lot of parts to clean up. I love the aesthetics and design. It’s modern, simple and practical. It’s a space saver as well. It would fit any decor with its silver color.
I’m more than impressed and has become a staple in our kitchen. Looking forward to many years of use. Highly recommend.

This is the one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder is an absolute dream! Its sleek design adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen counter, while its performance exceeds all expectations. The built-in burr grinder ensures that I always have freshly ground coffee beans for the perfect espresso shot. I love how customizable it is, allowing me to adjust the grind size, water temperature, and brew strength to my liking. The rich, velvety espresso it produces is nothing short of perfection. If you're a coffee aficionado looking to elevate your at-home coffee experience, this machine is a must-have!

Cute but feisty!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] She's cute but she's feisty. It's going to take some time to get the grounds + temperature right. Aside from the science behind that, it's pretty easy to use. Love experimenting with different lattes!

I would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a good quality espresso maker at an attractive price and that is simple to clean the individual parts of.

Looks Pretty on the counter top and it's quite!
on April 8, 2024
Posted by: dinal20
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took me a couple of weeks to get used to using this amazing high-quality espresso machine! I did have to read the manual a few times and make my first cup with a friend who knew a little more than me about espresso making. The good points... It's surprisingly quiet, considering all that it does. It has a great grinder. The steamed milk comes out perfectly every time. The price is good considering all the capabilities it has and.., I'm not going to lie, it looks very nice and pretty on my counter top!!..(Tip, use 2 people to get it out of the box, it's a bit heavy!)

What coffee dreams are made of
on March 13, 2024
Posted by: marcias29
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kitchen Aid Semi Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder is what coffee dreams are made of!
First off, when I got this machine, I had never made espresso before and knew absolutely NOTHING about how to use the machine. I can’t even make a pot of regular coffee. I’ve always been a coffee pod girl, throw the pod in the machine and press start. That’s all I knew how to do.
With that being said, I was able to successfully make a delicious cup of espresso on the very first day I had this machine, without even having to watch a YouTube tutorial! That says a lot about the ease of using this machine.
Clean up is super easy also. I just rinse out the portafilter and use the paper towel that dried it with to wipe off the machine. The milk steamer is a little more difficult but you just use a lightly soapy cloth and you’re good to go!
I love how the coffee bean grinder is built-in and you don’t have to guess how much to grind. The machine adjusts the amount for you!
Another great feature is the fact that you can adjust the temp of your espresso. If I’m in the mood for an iced coffee, I brew on the lowest temp setting. If I’m wanting hot espresso, I brew at the highest temp. You can also use the milk steamer to heat your coffee cup before you brew to get an even hotter cup of espresso!
All in all, I think this espresso machine is great! Very easy to use and clean! If you’re a regular at your local coffee shop, it will definitely pay for itself!

It's good but better instructions needed
on March 11, 2024
Posted by: divazzzzzzzzz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So there may have been a small user error on my end as well. But the instructions were not clearly defined when I tried to assemble the additional parts of the espresso machine. I did get some additional assistance from my sister and she was able to correct my mistake from the missing piece of the instructions and got it to work and now it is my favorite for making my espresso in the mornings. It's quite amazing, especially if you like protein coffee. One premiere protein shake and a shot of espresso or double shot. Try it out!

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!
