So, if you're looking for a coffee machine that's perfect for couples, families, and anyone who loves to host, the Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF8 is definitely worth considering.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this espresso machine, it covers every drink I like to make. I can use beans to grind or add the already crush beans in the smaller pocket. It comes with easy to follow direction to use and recipes for the drinks I like. I love that it has a milk steamer and the machine also cleans itself after every use. This is a good quality machine. This has made my morning alot easier before work and I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flavors of the coffee from this espresso machine was absolutely spectacular. It was so easy to use. The directions for it were easy to understand. The options for different types of coffee like cappuccino or and espresso are so cool and it was fully automated so it was so simple. It was an excellent experience all together every time I use it

Push to expresso fast and good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually enjoy a cup of black coffee in the morning with my wife; we brew it in a pot, let the grains settle, and pour, that's it. On weekends though, I'll get a latte or two, and despite my principled attempt to find a local place that brews a consistently perfect latte, I had to begrudgingly admit, there's a reason Starbucks is the king. This machine makes it easy to push a button and get a good cup fast. Also clean up is easy. I dump the grinds bin in with my garden. The left over water in the sink. It self rinses and rinses the milk line as well.

Buy it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty awesome espresso machine! It has a grinder, milk frother, and it is well worth the price. Make sure to get a good quality bean that doesn't have oils on it, at least that's what the instructions said so that's what I did. I love coffee so this what very perfect for me.

Fully automatic, and customizable
on April 20, 2024
Posted by: jennf36
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF8 from KitchenAid and Influenster for my honest review. Let me start by saying WOW. This machine is astonishing! The design is sleek and relatively compact considering all this machine can accomplish. It is pretty simple to use, the instructions are easy to follow and the machine itself guides you through customization. You have the option to use whole beans, or ground beans. You have options to customize your perfect coffee. Everything from coffee strength, to heat settings. You also have the option of just getting hot water if that is what you need in the moment. And they also send you a recipe book for a few drinks to try. Cleaning the machine is easy and they send you 2 cleaning tablets to get you started. The only small complaint that I have is cup sizes. I love that you have the option for 2 cups and the hight is adjustable but if you usually use a tall cup you have to hold the cup under because it doesn’t fit. Not a deal breaker for me. All in all I am obsessed and I highly recommend this Espresso machine for its customization, and ease of use.

Best machine out there for bean to cup coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this machine for quite a while now, so here are my honest and detailed opinions:
Design: it’s all stainless steel and gives a very sleek, professional look, it would fit into any kitchen design I think. The steel look flows seamlessly, even the water tank has full steel on one side, so when you put it in it just creates a complete look.
Usage: Obviously the most important part. I have used moda pots, semi manual espresso machines, etc. This machine beats them all, both in quality of coffee it produces and of course the ease of use. You just need to fill the coffee bean holder and the water tank every once in a while and when you want your high quality fresh coffee in the morning, all you do is click the button. I didn’t know how time consuming it was to make my espresso every morning by grinding the beans, filling the grounds, tempering it and then having to clean everything afterwards. Kitchenaid espresso machine saves me so much time every morning. Another feature that I love is that you can customize your drinks however you want and save them to your own profile! My wife and I have our own profiles, so we both easily get the exact coffee we want with just a click. My wife likes the milk based drinks, so all she has to do is fill the milk container and put it in the fridge when not in use. The container easily connects to the machine with a hose and it cleans itself!
Cleaning: Now this might be one of my favorite things about the Kitchenaid fully automatic espresso machine. I absolutely hated cleaning my old coffee machine parts. This machine does a “rinse” every time you turn it on, to make sure nothing was stuck inside. It also rinses every time before you turn it off. All you need to do is put a container where you put the coffee cups. The machine also lets you know when you need to empty the drip tray. You basically don’t have to think about anything yourself, it tells you what to do and when to do it. I really appreciate that it gives clear instructions. It also has more detailed cleaning functions like a full inside rinse, purging the beans, cleaning out all of the water inside if you are going to turn it off for a long time before going on a trip etc.
Taste/quality: I can easily say that it makes the best coffee I ever had. It’s basically Starbucks at home, which honestly saves us lots of time and money. We are sort of coffee snobs now, we don’t enjoy the coffee in a lot of places so we make it at home and take it with us now.
Overall, this automatic espresso machine has been a great addition to our lives. It’s one of those things that you don’t know you needed until you get it and then you’re obsessed with it! I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good coffee and wants to save time and money. You will not be disappointed!

At home barista!
on April 13, 2024
Posted by: sairap11
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine makes me feel like I own my personal coffee shop. It is an absolute beauty and I’ve never had anything like it before. First off, it’s a touch screen and allows you to choose what kind of coffee you’d like. Once you find your favorite, you are able to customize it to your liking and then add it to your personal profile. Insane.
Some things to keep in mind are the size of the machine. It does take up a lot of counter space and needs extra space around it so you can access the side door for the coffee grinder, the water filter on the other side, and the top where the coffee goes. Since it’s such a big machine, the cleaning process may take a little longer but it is totally worth it.
Overall, I’m obsessed with it and love the coffee aroma that lingers after I make my coffee. I love that it came with a booklet full of drink ideas to recreate. P.S. if you are an espresso martini type of gal, this machine will become your new bff.
