A life changing coffee machine!
on April 1, 2024
Posted by: michaelr85
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] drink a ridiculous amount of coffee every day. Morning until night. We've tried every kind of preparation method, and for the past few years we've been happy with a drip coffee machine that makes pretty good brewed coffee, but it at all the same as going to a coffee shop, although it does the job of making coffee. In addition to that machine, we recently got one of the coffee machines that makes coffee from pods. That was an improvement in a lot of ways over the drip coffee machine. Easy to clean and quick when making just one cup of coffee, vs 12 cups. We thought those were pretty good coffee makes, until we discovered the KF6!!! It's a game changer!!! Literally like having a coffee shop in your house, without the high cost or having to wait in line. I made my wife a cup of coffee with it when we got it so she could compare it to our regular coffee, and it's not even in the same league. The coffee from the KF6 is so flavorful, we can never go back to the old drip coffee maker or the pod coffee maker. It's incredible what it does in such a compact, easy to use and beautiful machine. Aside from the delicious taste, I love that you don't have to constantly fill it with water, like you do other coffee makers. You also don't have to put in beans every time. It's amazing!! You pour beans into the top of the machine and the machine automatically grinds the coffee for whatever kind of coffee you want to make. It makes espresso, Americanos, Macchiatos, Cappuccinos, Lattes and even just hot water. As far as waste, it's so easy and clean!!! Occasionally there'll be a message on the screen to pull out the front tray and empty out the spent ground coffee that collects in neat little clusters in the tray. It's so easy!!!! You can easily customize how you like your coffee and it saves the information. For example, it lets you choose how strong you like your espresso and save it. As far as looks, it a beautiful addition to the kitchen. It's so compact and sleek, and for what it does it's so compact. It replaces a coffee grinder too! With our old coffee maker I'd have to wait for the coffee to grind, get coffee grounds all over the place and waste time measuring scoops of coffee into the coffee maker, and make more waste emptying the basket and risk getting the wet grounds on the floor. The KF6 makes all of that a thing of the past. It's so quiet too. My old coffee grinder was very loud and slow. The KF6 makes the perfect cup of coffee literally with the push of a button. It's very well build, with a beautiful, hi tech display. It's so user-friendly, a child could make a perfect latte, and in fact, by 8 year old now makes me coffee, which would never happen with my old coffee maker, because there were so many steps, and the risk of spilling hot coffee on herself pouring it from the carafe to a cup. I just can't say enough about how incredible this coffee maker is!!

Very good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good fully automatic espresso machine with customizable barista drinks. Only con is that it doesn’t come with a milk dispenser. Also worth noting it goes through several rinse cycles every time it turns on so you end up having to refill the water tank often. Other than that it’s an excellent machine

[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!!

Excited for More
on March 28, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So the first thing that I noticed which made me drop a star is that there are so many STEPS. And it didn’t clarify how exactly to place the beans in there so I struggled with initially adding beans. The settings though are amazing and give you plenty of chances to customize your beverage, will definitely be trying it again and playing with what type of drinks I can do. The only other thing I didn’t love is that I have to use a small cup to fit under the drip, and I tend to drink big cups of coffee.

Amazing coffee at home
on March 27, 2024
Posted by: sarayd26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received this espresso machine and I have been extremely happy with it. The machine is well-built and sturdy, and it makes delicious espresso every time. I love that it has a built-in grinder so I can grind fresh coffee beans for each shot. The steam wand is also easy to use and produces perfect frothed milk for lattes and cappuccinos. It’s also super quiet. Overall, I highly recommend this espresso machine to anyone looking for a high-quality and reliable option for making espresso drinks at home. It has definitely elevated my coffee game and I couldn't be happier with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this coffee machine is the REAL DEAL. i never go to the coffee shop down the road anymore because i can make it all at home. it grinds the beans and froths the milk all at the push of a button! it’s not silent obviously but it’s pretty decent on the noise level for making a whole coffee!

It changed my life

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful high quality machine. I use it daily to make my coffee. I love the versatility and the options it gives you. You can even make your own creations! Super quiet, makes less noise than a drip machine which is surprising because it's literally grinding the beans. I love this and I recommend it to anyone who can afford to get one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my product. I haven’t used it yet because I have been out of town. It looks really good and big. I came home to check it out. Looks durable. Can’t wait to use it. I plugged it in and it’s pretty quiet. I have tried other kitchen aid products and I love them. I love the stainless steel color
