[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love coffee and been really wanting a espresso machine this is by far the best espresso machine hands down it made the absolute best tasting coffee I've had with having the real bean grinder. I will recommend this espresso machine to all my friends and family and can't wait for them to come over and have coffee with me. I know I'll be sitting down thinking of my mom while I have a cup every morning she loved her coffee! ☕

Let your bean dreams come true
on April 1, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to get this machine and start using it. I have been searching for an espresso machine already, so the timing for receiving this was perfect. My initial impressions were that it’s very high quality and looks nice, a compact but robust size that fits snuggly under a cabinet. There was an issue with the water filter plastic encasing, unfortunately the top part of it broke and then when I opened the bottom to add a filter, one of the plastic latching pieces broke off as well, so now it doesn’t properly shut all the way. It still somewhat works, and since I use filtered water anyway I’m not too worried, just thought it was worth mentioning. I did want to take my time getting familiar with the parts and set up, so I do have one critique here that the instructions and website (linked via QR code) did lack some clarity especially when it came to priming the pump, and then also running the clean cycle. I’m still not clear on the difference between the two, I just know that water comes out of different nozzles for the cleaning cycle - so be prepared with extra cups for that (it shoots out if the steam wand last). It would have been helpful to know how many rounds to expect to go through these cycles before the machine would be ready to brew espresso, I eventually got there but the whole time I felt like I was doing something wrong. Definitely a learning curve! The last issue I had was that the water leaks from the tank in the bottom tray where the extra filters and cleaning brush live (photo attached) I clean it every time, but this happens even after its been unused for hours. But the reason for my five stars is because once everything is said and done, this thing works like a champ! The burr grinder is exceptionally good, the beans are ground with ease and its not loud at all. The texture comes out perfect depending on the setting. The actual brewing function works great, I was able to pull robust frothy shots on my first go. Delicious! I do wish the steam wand was longer, but it gets the job done. I’m excited to continue trying new combinations with the different filters and techniques for grinding the beans to create my perfect cup. I do think there are just a few small things that could use improving that I only mention because of the price point, but overall it’s a very high quality machine for the amateur coffee aficionado.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unboxing was super fun! At first it seemed very intimidating but the instructions were clear and easy to follow! After the grinding, packing and the espresso processes you come out with a cafe quality shot made right at home! I was impressed by the simplicity of the machine itself! Definitely worth a recommendation for anyone who loves cafe style coffee! Loved this!!!! Best review yet!

The machine you need to easily make tasty lattes at home!
on March 16, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No need for multiple appliances to make a great espresso drink at home. Leave it to Kitchenaid to make an amazing semi-automatic espresso machine that also includes a burr grinder. The grinder is easy to use and grinds coffee beans quickly and efficiently. You can easily make 1-2 espresso shots with this machine, whichever your heart desires. The milk steamer perfectly steams your milk. The entire process takes just a few minutes and is a very simple cleanup. It also comes with a recipe book of different drinks you can make. Overall, it is well worth the cost. Kitchenaid has me making lattes so good in the comfort of my own home, there’s no need to waste money on overpriced coffee shops anymore!

Amazing coffee!

Posted by: terahnicolee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing! Very heavy duty and high quality. The directions are easy to read and the added recipe book was a bonus. Cleaning is a breeze and I love that it holds a lot of water so I don’t have to refill it all the time. Can’t want to continue making great morning drinks with this!
