Coffee shop quality at home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF6 is a must-have for any coffee aficionado. It makes maintenance very easy by self cleaning after every use and has alerts to remind you when to use the descaler that it conveniently comes with. It has a large water capacity. The noise level is at medium level. Very solidly built and sleek. Absolutely love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this to my work so I will summarize their reviews in addition to mine:
My review: very easy to use, self-cleaning, nicely automated, solid drink options with nice custom features (volume, temperature, etc.).
Coworkers: "IM OBSESSED WITH THIS MACHINE" "THIS IS F-ING AWESOME" "IT CLEANS ITSELF!!!!!"
So... big win at the office!!

[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.

Some pros, some cons.
on June 16, 2025
Posted by: CoffeePixie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: Well built, well designed. Self cleaning is easy. Drinks are well executed. Cons: Limited drink choices, but sufficient for basic Espresso beverages. Does not heat milk to hot, just warm, so if you like your milk-based beverage HOT, you must pre-heat your milk in the microwave prior to using it in/with the machine. Unable to label "user1", "user2" with names. Navigation to actually assign drinks to users is not intuitive. It would be nice to be able to first, set up the drink and save the drink to the user, then brew the drink. Sadly, you have to brew first, save last.
