[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky to try this from kitchenaid and influenster and it’s incredible. The size is perfect for those that don’t have much and it really just makes morning lattes accessible. It’s such a high tech cool machine and feels incredibly luxurious and beautiful to have in your home. Coffee isn’t the strongest I’ve had as I also pull my own shots but the convenience makes this worth it.

It's worth the investment and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great functionality and intelligence go into the espresso machine. The ease of setup and usage is astounding. It requires very little work and cleans itself. ideal for people who want a real espresso drink but are on the run. Filling the water is quite easy, and the LCD alerts you when it runs low. Has the ability to be filled to the brim with beans, and it grinds them as it brews the desired beverage. You can also incorporate ground beans. Water and coffee grounds can be easily disposed of, and cleaning is made simple by the removable tray. Before and after brewing, it performs a self-cleaning function. The choice is rather straightforward: you indicate your preference for a single or double shot, the strength, the heat preference , and the type of drink. Grind and brew time is really short, and you may decide whether to use the milk function or simply make your own beverage. My buddies immediately asked for drinks after seeing the beautifully constructed machine. This is an excellent resource to help you avoid buying Starbucks. As I have already done, I will undoubtedly continue to brew at home.

Coffee shop quality at home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking at buying an at home espresso machine here are the pros and cons of the kitchen Aid fully automatic expresso machine from a coffee lover but non coffee expert…
PROS:
Easy to use. Took me about 10-15 minutes to get out of the box and set up.
Easy to use. Took me about 10-15 minutes to get out of the box and set up.
Brews great quality coffee and you can use your favorite coffee beans.
Takes about 1-1.15 minutes to brew a cup of coffee or latte.
Can customize drinks and make expresso, lattes, americano, cappuccino, macchiato, warm milk or water.
Sturdy construction (kitchenaid)but can’t speak about the durability since it’s new.
Self cleaning -when you turn on or turn off it will rinse itself and also encourage immediate rinsing of milk tube attachment and it’s easy.
Drinks made at home but coffee shop quality!
Cons:
Large-it approx 19in long and 10in wide. I previously used a nesspresso and it was tiny compared to this machine but the coffee with this machine is much better.

Because it’s self cleaning you have to empty out water from bottom drip tray frequently so it does not linger there. Even if you use a cup to catch water as it cleans, steam still end up down there. It is however very easy to clean.

So Cool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love all things KitchenAid and this Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF6 is my favorite! Friends...! It's so cool and fancy! I'm absolutely obsessed with it! Although it is the smallest if the 3 versions it's quality and functions are not small! I've been wanting to learn how to make my own espressos and fancy coffee drinks ☕️ from home but have always been intimidated....this little baby is perfect for beginners! It's fully automatic and us super smart! 😎 Assembly is really easy as it does not require much. It comes with the basics like a filter, instruction manuals, recipe books, etc. Once set up it walks you through everything step by step. This thing is capable of making SO MANY awesome drinks! Plain coffee, espresso shots, lattes, cappuccino, hot water for cocoa or tea etc. It has a grinder built in for whole espresso beans which is very convenient. If you prefer grounds - that's an option too! This is the "basic" version of the 3 but is just slightly smaller without the milk frother container...but....rest assured because it still froths milk! You just hook the little hose up directly to your dairy product of choice or buy yourself a little cup for frothing. It's super easy and 100% customizable! It's literally what coffee dreams are made of! 😉 There is something for everyone. Clean up is also a breeze. This awesome machine is worth every dollar! I 100% recommend purchasing it especially if you are a beginner. I'm still learning what I like best but so far it's caramel macchiato for the win! My advice is to do your research and practice! Read the manual and experiment, experiment, experiment! The more you play with it the more it does!

Fancy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very grateful that I got to try this machine. Overall , ease of use is amazing. Product is very well made. The grinding portion of the machine can be a little noisy but that is to be expected. Machine allows you to save several preferences for you favorite drinks. The screen guides you through the step by step processes of making each drink.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kitchenaid fully automatic espresso machine is great I never thought I could make my own cappuccino that would taste just as good as the one I buy from Starbucks and the cleaning is so easy it notifies you when it’s time to run a clean cycle I never have to buy another cappuccino, latte or espresso again this machine even froths and heats milk exactly to your liking this machine is well worth the price. I love it. And it’s quite too

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This looked a bit intimidating at first, but it’s actually very easy for a first time user. KitchenAid is a very good brand and I can tell this is what I would expect using this machine. You are able to purchase a debatable milk tank that can be hooked to the milk hose. I will tell you my cappuccino was perfect! I loved that I was able to make it with a double shot and program to make it easier the next time I have one. You are able to program up to four people/ or up to four different drinks that you like. The machine promos you to add more coffee grounds when needed and to empty the drip tray.
Cleaning the milk hose I do more two to three times. Filling the water tank is very easy.

I would definitely recommend this to someone that likes coffee and wants it whenever without leaving the house.
