Easy to use
on March 18, 2024
Posted by: yenifere4
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a great coffee machine. Easy to use, and easy to clean, once you learn the measurements of your machine your coffee will taste amazing and have the perfect taste. Only thing is I wish it had the milk container included. Besides that’s is just great.

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.

Wonderful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is wonderful. It was easy to unpack and the directions were very easy to follow. It brews great coffee. My kitchen is small and I worried about space, but it doesn’t take up much space at all.

Super easy to use!
on March 13, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this item for about 4 days now and have been playing with it everyday and sometimes several times a day. It’s a high quality, beautifully simplistic peace of machinery. Much larger and heavier than I was expecting. Has plenty of caffeinated drink options along with a green tea, hot water, hot milk options. Has plenty of settings such as how hot you want you drink, how strong you want the coffee to be, what type of milk whether dairy or plant-based, milk first or coffee first and some other options I can’t remember at the moment. It isn’t entirely noiseless but not super noisy either. Also, I have noticed that when using pre-ground coffee, the flavor of it isn’t as strong and tastes slightly watered down as when using the freshly ground coffee beans the taste of black coffee is stronger. However, I do love that you have the 2 options of using coffee beans or pre-ground coffee. It grounds the coffee beans for you too! I absolutely LOVE that there’s options u can use to set the machine to clean itself and to auto shut off when not in use anywhere from 8 minutes to 8 hours. Right before it shuts off it does a quick clean cycle and drips out the water when cleaning itself right into the drip try. This machine is definitely hassle free in that respect. When using coffee beans, the aroma is so deliciously aromatic. Any coffee lover would be obsessed! LOVED, that there’s also an option to add PROFILES! Thought that was pretty cool! (FYI, KF6 can add 4 profiles, but CAN’T personalize them ~meaning naming them~, KF7 can add 4 profiles, and CAN personalize them, KF8 can add 6 profiles, and CAN personalize them). I think the only real complaint (if you want to even call it that) is that I wish you can add a larger option to the size of the drink. For example, I had a cappuccino the other day but it was only about an xtra small/small cup worth. I understand a lot of these aren’t normally full size cups of coffee but I would have liked it for it to have that type of option. All in all, we love this espresso machine here at home!

This machine is a must-have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First I want to talk about this of course is coming from a brand with a great reputation. It is glass very heavy duty large screen for coffee. Love the metal in a beautiful brushed stainless finish with a solid commercial grade port’s filter, not only gives it a sleek look, but also ensures its durability. It's actually better than other coffee makers on the market.
And here is some information just in case you might don’t know: this machine includes removable bean hopper, illuminated dispenser, cup clearance ( 3.5” to 5.4” ( 89-137mm) , 11 drink types, 4 user profiles, cappuccinatore and 2.4” color display !
The machine is easy to operate, easy to maintain. This product has an easy to use color display and is easily adjustable to your preferences. As for the noise, it really doesn't make much noise, it's really quiet. There are a lot of people who don't like the noise of the machine and the
coffee, but I like that noise and the scent, the aroma of coffee every morning when I'm only half awake and this coffee machine makes the other half of me awake. That’s how my day starts !!!!!! It also does well cleaning itself and giving you clear directions when something needs to be filled or emptied. Its a great machine! I love having one machine that will do it all! You just have to read the directions . After some adjustments got the coffee to taste the way I like it.
It works so well and makes delicious espresso. It’s easy to use even on those early mornings when you can barely open one eye. and I have absolutely no complaints about it. And don't worry if you don't know how to make coffee. because they give you a recipe book for that. So, if you're an espresso lover like me, this machine is a must-have!

Another Win for KitchenAid!
on March 15, 2024
Posted by: kleeh22
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the new KitchenAid fully automatic espresso machine! I have been a long time user of the semi automatic espresso machine by KitchenAid but the fully automatic is a huge upgrade! The sleek design looks great and digital tough screen made set up easy and very user friendly. The best part though, the espresso is great and so simple to make now! Overall, this a big winner for our household!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how it rinses itself before and after you use it. And love how it has the options for both grounds and whole beans. It is a bit noisy but love how it's fully automatic. It is heavy though but I love how it has multiple drink options too

Easy to use, durable, and quick and fresh espresso made to order!
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: aliceo14
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is absolutely stunning. It looks beautiful on my countertop. It saves so much time by being fully automated. you have espresso made perfectly by the press of a button. There is a see-through window on the side where you fill the water tank so you know when it’s getting low. The touchscreen menu makes it easy to navigate. It is very quiet compared to other automated espresso machines I have tried. There is a compartment on the top of the machine where you simply pour the coffee beans and and they are freshly ground each time you make a cup of espresso. This machine is very durable and high-quality. I will be using this daily and saving tons of money not going to the local coffee spots. it is truly an all in one machine and extremely simple to use.
