Posted by: yazminr52
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Turns on quickly heats water and froths milk very fast the coffee flavor is amazing is like having your own coffee shop at home I love it because it’s very sturdy and good quality also is very easy to clean don’t have to wash nothing just get a damp cloth and wipe it down. I will definitely recommend.

All in one, but many parts to clean
on March 31, 2024
Posted by: sarahk437
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Kitchenaid and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. At first I was really excited to get this machine as it has everything you need to make any type of coffee or espresso drink (latte, cappuccino, etc) and froth your milk. I especially liked that this KF8 model offers the option to select either dairy milk or plant based milk, since I typically only drink almond milk. It brews very quickly, and when brewing the grounds its fairly quiet. Although I’ve only made coffee using grounds, you can put whole beans and it will grind them. However I don’t like that there are a lot of parts to clean when you are done, every time (drip tray, catch for the coffee grounds, milk container etc). Also today when I used it I figured out how to take out the internal contraption that holds the fresh grounds to clean, and there’s no prompt for that so I imagine that could get pretty gross. I had been having an issue where it was brewing water rather than grinds and I think it’s because this hadn’t been cleaned. I also don’t like that it rinses itself when you turn it on and after making a drink so you have to be aware of it. So overall, it’s a multi-functional device, but for the casual coffee drinker like me it’s a lot. It also has a big footprint, and is heavy, so not ideal for a small kitchen. This would be ideal for a household where there are many coffee drinkers who all have specific orders.

Amazing quality coffee with a touch of a button.
on March 30, 2024
Posted by: jamien1e97
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Espresso Machine is amazing! It is so easy to brew a a Coffee House quality cappuccino and the cleanup is simple. There are so many well thought out details that make this a superior cappuccino machine. The machine comes with a filter for the water tank and the tool to install and remove the filter doubles as a spoon for your coffee beans. Whole beans are automatically grounded when you make your drink and empty into the removable tray once the machine cleans itself. The removable tray is easy to clean. You are automatically reminded to clean the froth hoses if you make a milk based drink, and it walks you through the simple steps. I was so excited to receive this machine but had concerns it would be hard to maintain but maintaining it is so easy. The best part is that the coffee the machine makes is so simple to use, customizable, and provides so any options to brew your favorite cup of coffee. The coffee tastes amazing and fresh.

Coffee shop at home!
on March 29, 2024
Posted by: ollieh6
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a luxurious, but accessible, home product!
Set up: a little tricky to put in the water filter, but once we figured it out we were good to go!
Size: this is not a small machine. It will take up more counter space than your regular coffee/pod machines. We definitely had to move things around, but if you’re serious about coffee it is worth it
How to use: put in your own beans, choose your drink, customize, and let the machine do the rest!
Coffee: tastes good! Love that we can use our own beans and select the strength of the drink.
Excited to continue exploring drinks and having company to barista for!

You will love it !!!
on March 28, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love the Espresso Machine with the amazing KitchenAid Quality. I wanted to use this for a couple of weeks for a truly authentic review. I did receive this from Influenster for my HONEST review.
The Machine is very user friendly. I am not the most tech-savvy person my husband is very much so. I was nervous I would need his assistance to figure things out. Nope. This Machine is so close to plug-in and go. The coffees / espressos programmed in are able to be customized to your own tastes and then saved for later use. The ease of cleaning it is a huge plus for this busy mom. I use it at least 2 times a day and have only grown to love it more with each use. I do like that it flushes the line when turned on and off automatically and reminded me to clean milk line when milk is used. I have a cup under it ready for when I turn it on and off so I don't have to worry about drip tray getting full. But the tray is very easy to empty and clean. The grounds are pressed and easy to scoop with a spoon not overly dirty messy at all. In fact I just put them in a Mason for the garden.

Cool machine and makes great drinks!
on March 27, 2024
Posted by: marys619
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a cool machine. Easy/quick set up, tons of customization options, and self-cleaning - it even looks sleek on the counter! You can customize the drink strength, steamed milk, foam, and more with a simple touch of a button - very user friendly. It also walks you through a quick cleaning each time you use the machine or the milk canister. It seems well-made, but I I am concerned that if anything ever breaks, it’s so high tech that I won’t be able to fix myself. This machine is fun and easy to use, and produces high quality drinks!
