[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is just a dream!!! It's so beautiful and perfect in every way. I got the silver color, and it matches my appliances. The aroma freshly ground coffee is a must!!! The machine allows you to control temperature, blending, and everything like a barista. Your quests are going to love this. I loved my new kitchenaid espresso machine!!!

Professional-grade coffee in the comfort of my own
on August 4, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grinder on this espresso machine is legit, and the espresso it pulls is amazing! On day one, after a few test shots to dial in settings, I was able to make a latte nearly on par with my favorite coffee shop which felt pretty incredible. With the right beans and a bit more practice I am confident I’ll meet or exceed their results! I reduced my review from 5 to 4 stars because the reservoir does have a tendency to leak if not perfectly seated on its base- and it did leak all over my countertop and floor on its first night in my kitchen.

The best espresso machine around!
on August 5, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the all-metal, high-quality build and the way it slides on its little wheels back and forth. It's semi-automatic, which for me makes me feel like I'm really making the coffee (fully auto feels like cheating and not so much of an experience, l'd probably go back to 100% manual first) but it's soooo easy to use that it's no problem when I'm in a hurry or sleepy. I weigh out beans for each cup because my husband and I like different coffees, and the grinder works great with way less mess than my old standalone burr grinder. The frother is easy to use and clean. We've switched beans many times and it doesn't take much effort to dial in and get the flavor right. The cleaning cycle takes a good bit of time but I only need to do that about every 6-8 weeks depending on usage. I'm just thrilled with this thing and still look forward to using it every morning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how quiet the grinder is, and the espresso tastes amazing once you get the grind right. The steam wand is a game-changer for my cappu. The grinder is notably quiet, earning a Quiet Mark certification, making it ideal for early mornings or shared spaces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Omg!!! Just absolutely perfect. I couldn't help my excitement i opened it as soon as I saw it on the porch and tried it! It runs smoothly. The coffee tastes amazing! I've had about 2 espresso and a cappuccino and Im very impressed with how easy it is to clean. Very easy to switch between settings for what you want. Literally has everything you need all in one! You just need the coffee!

Coffee Shop Quality Expresso Maker Right at Home
on August 6, 2025
Posted by: jillb178_8139
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kitchen Aid semi automatic expresso machine is quality right in the comfort of your kitchen. This machine was easy to setup for a first timer, following the easy setup guide that comes with the machine. It’s a stainless steel restaurant quality machine with lots of options and espresso baskets to brew your favorite expresso just like you like. The grinder is super quite compared to so many products on the market and you can control how much grinds each make. The stamper is heavy duty quality and easy to use. This machine does take more labor for the coffee maker but the end result is worth it. Moving the grinds over to the brew area is easy to insert. With the click of a button my expresso was brewing and ready in just a few minutes. I love that there are several basket filters included with the machine to all you to control the strength of your expresso. The milk frother included with the stainless steel frothing cup that is included is awesome and allows you to control your froth and temp. Overall great machine and can’t wait to continue to use it!
