All in one espressso machine with custom settings that can make a great cup of espresso!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received the KitchenAid semi automatic espresso machine. It took about few try’s to really get the hang of it but now I am brewing exceptional espresso at home! Love the different grinding level options, options for a double shot is a must for me and this espresso machine has that too! Temperature level for the water is great!! It also has a milk steamer and a spout for hot water which is very handy for tea making! All in all I am pretty impressed with this machine!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it a-latte! This machine is so easy to use. Setup was simple and now I can enjoy iced lattes on a warm summer night! It brews so quickly and the steamer is practical and easy to use.

Great machine for the espresso aficionado.
on April 15, 2024
Posted by: marys619
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a neat machine and would be perfect for the espresso aficionado. It grinds the beans (very quietly!), and allows for so many customizations to both the grind and the espresso drip. The flavor was great and I felt like I was drinking a true espresso shot from a cafe. It’s easy to clean, comes with everything you could need for your drinks, and has a nice storage drawer for the various parts. It’s also a reasonable size for a kitchen counter.
I typically use a fully automatic espresso machine, so compared to that this had a lot more steps for set-up (I’ll admit, I struggled a bit) and to use BUT for someone that likes to customize the grind, the pressure, etc. this would be a great machine. For the lazier espresso drinker, an automatic machine might be a better investment.

Smooth, creamy Americanos- could be easier to use!
on March 26, 2024
Posted by: megm81
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really do love the quality of espresso I get from this machine- the grinding performance is stellar- so quick, so fine, so smooth. But, alas, i've found it rather difficult to learn to use if i'm being completely honest. I scanned the QR code, and watched the limited videos provided, and even youtubed some of my own trying to learn but all I can get the machine to brew consistently is an Americano- granted, a delish one, but still. Frustrating. I realize this is mostly a user error issue, but not for lack of trying so it is included in my review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how you’re able to do 2 things in one on the spot. The scent of the coffee beans grinding is amazing. It is very simple to use. I’m able to make my espresso shots all in one.

Barista experience at home!
on April 13, 2024
Posted by: makeitshayn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first proper espresso machine and, aside from my own trial and error when it comes to navigating that experience and learning how to pull shots of espresso, I found this machine to be overall fairly intuitive and able to deliver a great coffee shop level espresso at home! I was surprised at how quiet it is and how easily milk foams/steams up. I have made both cappuccinos and lattes and have loved them. I don’t think I need to go to coffee shops anymore!

Caffeine heaven!!!
on March 11, 2024
Posted by: dorotad9
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a caffeine addict so I couldn't wait to set up my machine!! I am not going to lie it did take a little time to set it up but it was well worth the effort The temperature of the espresso was perfect and I loved all the different options it provides for brewing. The burr grinder was such a nice added bonus as I haven't seen many machines with this option. I also love the built in milk steamer. The quality and taste of the espresso is out of this world. I would recommend reading the instructions for the set up and for making your espresso the first few times. Good quality product that I will be using on a daily basis.
