Game changer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine has been a game changer for my family. We use this multiple times in the day. The multiple functions and settings you can use is amazing. The fact that you can set a user info… example set your favorite drinks on your own profile saves you so much time. Every feature on this is fantastic!!!! The only thing that is annoying but doesn’t change my mind on how much I love this machine is that it uses a lot of water. When you start the machine it does a rinse cycle and when you shut it off it does as well. That’s the only thing I’m not a fan of but I get why they do it.
I will definitely recommend this to everyone I know.

Good value for the money!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for an easy to use espresso machine that wasn't overly expensive, yet a good value and found it! This machine was very easy to set up. The instructions were clear and I made my first cappuccino within minutes. We've enjoyed several delicious lattes, cappuccinos and affogatos. It was well worth it!

Great cup of coffee

[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.] In use for about a month, so happy with this purchase! Reminds us daily of our trip to Italy. The self cleaning features are amazing. Easy to refill bean hopper and water supply.

Homerun for Kitchenaid!

I had a different brand of superautomatic before this and there are a lot of things to really like about the Kitchenaid. First, I am only an espresso or coffee drinker so I do not care about milk and frothing. Most of my opinions are in contrast with my previous brand. This has an easily accessible water tank with an obvious sightglass to see water level from the left side. The coffee ground puck container and the drip tray are considerably larger and I can go a week without needing to empty them( I am the only one using the machine). The default settings make a perfect espresso so I have not had to mess with changing it, but the options are there if you require something different. This machine has little rollers that help you move it around the countertop, which is necessary for me to access the right side. YMMV.
What not to like? Only two small issues, so far. The manual is one of the worst I have had for explaining everything, especially what kind of messages I might receive and what to do about them. Apparently this machine is too new to have generic cleaning tablets available so I am stuck paying Kitchenaid prices for their tabs, but that could change in the future.
This is a top-of-the-line machine in many respects but it is so easy to use and makes wonderful coffee as easily as pushing just 2 buttons!

Great coffee, easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this product for about a month now and it is fantastic! It looks intimidating when it comes out of the box but it is well designed and easy to use. The expresso maker has wheels in the back to easily move out if you have under a cabinet, automatically, performs a rinse cycle when shutting down, has user drink storage, is easy to clean and most importantly makes very tasty espresso, cappuccino, lattes, etc! Would definitely recommend!

Dream come true!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is absolutely amazing. I am so happy I finally bought it for myself after wanting one for so long. It perfectly makes each drink how I set it. When you do the math for what you might spend buying one cup of your favorite coffee drink over a year (depending how much you drink it), it makes total sense to buy one if you can. It does not disappoint.
I would recommend this to a friend!
