Amazing!
on March 14, 2024
Posted by: ericas325
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a gorgeous high tech coffee machine, the Coffee I’ve made with it has tasted amazing so far and I am excited to try other Recipes! The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is since it’s so high tech it gets a little confusing to set up and operate at first. Other than that I am completely in love!

Heaven in a cup
on March 23, 2024
Posted by: lvl527
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KitchenAid Automatic Espresso Machine totally blew me away! Seriously, I never thought making espresso at home could be this easy. It does everything for you, from grinding the beans to frothing the milk, and the coffee it makes is just amazing. Plus, it looks super cool on my kitchen counter! Yeah, it's a bit pricey, but trust me, it's worth every penny if you're into coffee like I am. The only thing I didn't like was that the cup section was so small and I couldn't figure out how to move it up to put a bigger cup.

Great pod replacement gift.
on December 31, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Found this and bought it after much research. It fit our goal of replacing a Nespresso Pod machine and should pay for itself within the year. Makes great coffee and can easily switch between regular and decaffeinated beans which we do daily. The removable hopper makes this a breeze but have not opted for a second hopper yet. Very clear instructions and very customizable drinks. A few software adjustments would make this machine better but as there is not built in process to update the firm/software, will have to wait on that. Overall, very happy with this machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

As easy as it gets to make espresso drinks.
on April 23, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let’s get the obvious out of the way. Perhaps you are like me, someone who is serious about their coffee, but not so enthusiastic about the ritual or the process. It is about getting to enjoy the end product as efficiently as possible. So much so that you often find yourself just stopping at a coffee shop because you’d rather pay someone else to do the work instead of going to the effort of making it yourself. In that case, this is not just a coffee machine, it is an investment.
The KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF8 is as easy as a bean-to-cup system gets. You put your beans of choice in the hopper, use the touch screen to pick what drink you want it to make, and press start. It grinds, tamps, brews and dispenses, allowing you to customize each setting or selecting from the wide array of pre-programmed ones. Or, optionally, you can use pre-ground coffee or the external milk frother which works well with regular milk as well as plant-based options. After each use, it automatically runs a self-cleaning cycle to make sure that all the lines remain clean. It really is that easy. My coffee has never tasted so good and perfectly customized to my taste. The machine has the capability of setting different profiles for different members of your household, so you can save your customizations so you always get a perfectly repeatable product. The maintenance is minimal, wiping down the stainless exterior after each use and maybe rinsing the milk bin if you used that. Emptying the drip tray and coffee grounds every few days.
Not to say that the machine couldn’t be improved. I find the drip tray to be too small. Every cleaning cycle leaves some remnants in the tray, even when you put a waste cup under the spout, so it tends to fill up fast. It is nice that the coffee grounds go into a separate waste bin so I can save the perfect little pucks for my compost. I would like some place on board to store things like the coffee grounds scoop and the milk frothing hose. I’d also like a larger water reservoir. But I guess choices had to be made to keep the size of the machine reasonable. As is, it is the largest coffee maker I have ever used, but it still takes up less space on my counter than my old grinder, tamper, brewer, and other tools. And I am far more inclined to use it because of the automation involved, the lack of having to spend almost more time cleaning up after myself as I spent brewing, and above all, the great coffee.
I received this KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF8 from KitchenAid and Influenster for my honest review.

The kitchen appliance I didn’t know I needed and can’t live without now!
on April 9, 2024
Posted by: angelas263
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free in exchange for my honest review. The KitchenAid fully automatic espresso machine has replaced my French press, burr grinder, water kettle, and milk frother. It is so easy and foolproof to use - no barista skills needed! I love the slim and sleek design, touchscreen menu, and ability to create multiple profiles with customized drinks. Cleanup is also super simple and minimal, which is great for busy lifestyles. Highly recommend!

Impressive Quality
on March 12, 2024
Posted by: amys982
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was blown away by the quality of this espresso machine. It is very substantial and well-built. It included a setup guide and QR code for easy setup. It also included a recipe book for both hot and cold drinks. Once the machine is setup, a simple press of a button brings the coffee house straight to your kitchen. Any drink you would order from a barista, just a touch away. I prefer hot coffee and espresso, and cold coffee drinks that are sweetened. So far, there is nothing this machine cannot do.
