Best Super Automatic on the Market!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re on the fence about purchasing a super automatic and you’re considering the KF8, just do it! We couldn’t be more pleased with it. If you want a simple-to-operate machine that’s superbly built, then this is for you. The drinks are easy to dial in and they taste SO GOOD.

Very Impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only had this machine for 3 weeks, but so far I'm really liking it. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but I love the ability to have a fully automatic that can make a wide variety of coffee/expresso drinks, and make them well!
I really like how intuitive the color touchscreen is, whether you're making drinks or going thru the different cleaning and maintenance cycles. This machine is well designed and easy to clean.
Normally, I love a good cup of black coffee. This makes great coffee, but now I really enjoy making lattes and macchiatos, with or without flavoring syrup.
If your on the fence, I would splurge and buy this machine! Couldn't be more satisfied!

KF8 is a quality superautomatic espresso machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine could not be easier to use; 3 weeks of churning out 4-6 beverages a day and still going strong. Of course it can't pull quite the same shots or as voluminously foamy milks as manual espresso machines at your local coffee shop, but for a countertop machine it does an excellent job and it's become a household favorite. Very appreciative of the excellent EPP discount, not sure I'd have gone for the KF8 but being able to use both dairy and non-dairy milks is an essential function in our household.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great machine. Looks like it is durable and can last for a long time. It is nice that you can clean the brew unit. Makes so many type of drink. The only downside is that it goes thru a lot of water.

KitchenAid has a winner with the KF8
on March 16, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've owned this machine for about a month now. We moved from an 11 year old Delonghi Gran Dama (still going strong). Definitely a step up in terms of capabilities even though the Gran Dama was top of the line at the time. This machine is very well thought out & easy to use. More importantly, it makes really good coffee! We mainly make Americano and espresso but it does a great job with milk-based drinks (including non-dairy products like almond milk). We looked at the Delonghi Eletta Explore as well as the Gaggia Accademia before settling on the KitchenAid KF8. This machine is a bit more expensive than the Eletta but is significantly more configurable. Highly recommended. KitchenAid has a winner with this machine.
Cons: 1) This machine uses a lot of water for cleaning and rinsing so you have to empty the drain and fill water every 6-7 drinks. We use a cup to catch the pre & post-rinsing from the nozzles, but there is still some internal cleaning that goes into the drain. However it does have a large 2.2 liter water container so you might get a few more drinks between fill-ups depending on how many drinks you make at a time. 2) It is a bit concerning that a machine of this caliber (and price point) does not have WiFi connectivity. We are not huge fans of smartphone apps for appliances, but the ability to update the firmware regularly over the air would have been a big plus. Even our cars upgrade themselves over the air these days. Neither con is a showstopper though.

Amazing coffee! Easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in August as an early BD present to myself. It has transformed coffee in our house. We had a nice drip machine for many years, but even making a basic Americano is so much better than the drip coffee maker! The coffee is rich and flavorful. And the complex drinks are amazing, too. We now make espresso martinis!!!
The machine is easy to use and maintain. Literally push a button. It is very quiet for a grinder and espresso machine. It is expensive but worth it, and it could pay for itself as we use less coffee overall and buy fewer store-bought coffees.
I would recommend this to a friend!
