Very nice machine!
on March 12, 2024
Posted by: destanies1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this espresso machine for a bit now, and so far it's been really great. I've been enjoying trying different espresso drinks from the included recipe booklet. I only deducted a star because it is a little on the loud side. Other than that I've absolutely loved it. Such a nice, well made machine. Everything feels very high quality. The water reservoir is large and holds plenty of water, so you don't have to fill it up all the time. Also has a nice carrying handle to carry it to the sink. The stainless steel is beautiful and blends well in any kitchen. It's been easy to clean and care for so far as well. Overall I am very happy! It has everything I could want or ask for in an at home espresso machine. I drink espresso every morning, so it's been amazing having the ability to make it at home and save some money! Definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kitchenAid espresso machine with burr grinder is fantastic! It’s easy to use and easy to clean. It’s has a little compartment that slides out and holds the filter baskets. It Heats up pretty quick after you turn it on. So far I’ve been making great tasting espresso drinks.

Best expresso machine for home!
on March 19, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My honest opinion about the Kitchen Aid semi automatic expresso machine with burr grinder. The machine work very well for my expresso. The quality of the machine is very good. The only problem is the fast instruction to set the expresso machine for the first time, do not follow the fast instructions. Read the manual instructions there details you need to do before use the expresso machine. But I recommend 100%

Game Changer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love everything about this espresso machine. The grinder has been fun to test out different grind sizes and provides great quality grinds no matter the size we select. It brews quickly and has been easy to operate once we got the hang of it. The flexibility of this machine has allowed us to experiment with different tastes and consistency of our coffee. 100% recommend this espresso machine.

Think twice
on March 22, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this espresso machine is ok. First of all, it not including all the baskets like it shows on the box, kinda misleading when there’s only 1. The coffee is good, there is also water filter which I like. It also comes with book of recipes like flat white, americano, capuchino etc. It is good however for the price I have to think twice and compare with other brand

Good machine for my first machine
on March 28, 2024
Posted by: jillf52
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine was pretty easy to put together straight out of the box. Not too heavy and not too many parts. Playing with the coarseness of the grind, and the type of pull for the espresso is going to take time and experimentation, but that’s the fun part (and in the meantime I can make failed experiments into martinis!!!) Having the steamer wand right on the machine is super handy as I’m used to having to have a separate milk steamer. Likewise, having the grinder right on the machine as I’m used to having a separate grinder. So this part is really great. 
The casing for this machine is plastic which sort of surprised me. I’m not sure how long that will last - I guess we’ll see.
My only real problem with the machine was with the instructions. There were three instruction books plus a QR code, and I felt like I had to go back-and-forth between each book to figure out how to complete each step. That part could’ve been much better.
It looks so great on the counter next to my daily drip, and is a nice addition to the kitchen. Overall, I think it’s a good machine and it’s going to be a lot of fun to learn how to use!!

Worth it !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality ! Didn’t expect this to be as big as it came but it was definitely a learning curve. I love making my own drinks at home and doing it with espresso has been a game changer brews quickly and tastes smooth ! Good bang for your buck.

Next best thing when it comes to home espresso machine
on April 3, 2024
Posted by: oilyskinguru
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the espresso machine as a complimentary from Influenster in exchange for a product review. The built-in burr grinder can grind coffee beans that provide an equal distribution of particle sizing at your chosen grind size. The espresso machine has a sturdy, sleek design that is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. The brew quality is so good because I can pull a 9-15 bar espresso that has a thick crema output. It is also easy and hassle free to clean. It is worth every penny. A value for money.
