Great Coffee... When it Works
on December 30, 2025
Posted by: SpreadOfC
The KF6 makes great coffee and it's easy to use. Although, often it can takes minutes of pressing the buttons on the right side for them to register and make the coffee.

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.

Great cup of coffee
on May 26, 2025
Posted by: Colorado Coffee Lover
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in the process of losing my love for coffee. Pods and presses and coffee pots and sho the rest were no longer making a satisfying cup of coffee. The Espresso Machine changed all of that and reintroduced me to coffee worth getting up for.
Pricey investment, but worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The user manual could have been more detailed, for example, put the cleaning tablet in the brew unit and exactly where would that be?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect coffee every morning. I love the screen and customization options.
My mother-in-law was very impressed with the latte and is now going to buy one for her home.
