Quality coffee drinks at home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from KitchenAid and Influenster in exchange for my review.
I am having so much fun using this espresso machine! There’s so many features and I love how customizable the drinks are. I’ve been playing around with the settings to find the perfect ratios and I love that you can save drink settings to your profile.

When it comes to quality, so far this does a great job of making tasty coffee drinks. It grinds the beans well and I love being able to make milk based drinks. The separate milk container is nice because I can fill it up, toss it in the fridge, and pull it out to use it as needed.
In terms of looks, this machine packs a lot all into a nice, sleek looking cube. The nozzle height is adjustable, but I do wish it went even higher because I still have some mugs that won’t fit. For noise, it’s not silent, but it also doesn’t make nearly as much noise as I was expecting.
This machine also does a fantastic job at staying clean. It rinses itself on start up and shut down and even runs water through the milk attachment to clean that too! This leads me to a minor annoyance: it uses quite a bit of water. However, I’m fine with it if it means less cleaning and maintenance in the long run.
Anyway, to sum it all up, even with the two tiny gripes, I love using this machine! I am enjoying making drinks with this machine, so far everything works great, and I love having fancy coffee drinks at home!

All in one, but many parts to clean
on March 31, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Kitchenaid and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. At first I was really excited to get this machine as it has everything you need to make any type of coffee or espresso drink (latte, cappuccino, etc) and froth your milk. I especially liked that this KF8 model offers the option to select either dairy milk or plant based milk, since I typically only drink almond milk. It brews very quickly, and when brewing the grounds its fairly quiet. Although I’ve only made coffee using grounds, you can put whole beans and it will grind them. However I don’t like that there are a lot of parts to clean when you are done, every time (drip tray, catch for the coffee grounds, milk container etc). Also today when I used it I figured out how to take out the internal contraption that holds the fresh grounds to clean, and there’s no prompt for that so I imagine that could get pretty gross. I had been having an issue where it was brewing water rather than grinds and I think it’s because this hadn’t been cleaned. I also don’t like that it rinses itself when you turn it on and after making a drink so you have to be aware of it. So overall, it’s a multi-functional device, but for the casual coffee drinker like me it’s a lot. It also has a big footprint, and is heavy, so not ideal for a small kitchen. This would be ideal for a household where there are many coffee drinkers who all have specific orders.

Good variety ☕️
on March 16, 2024
Posted by: gabbyh89
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the variety of drinks the machine is able to make and how customizable it is. This machine is perfect for a multi person household. The set up was a little intimidating at first, but once you turn it on the touchscreen helps you through it. The machine was bigger than I expected and the cleaning process seems a little cumbersome.

Love this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so so so nice. The touch screen makes it easy to navigate and it just looks and feels lux. The water tank is removable making it easy to fill and clean, and you can either add whole beans or ground coffee to it. It can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but thankfully it comes with a “quick start” pamphlet for basic functions. It reminds me of the fancy automatic coffee machines in airport lounges. And you can brew 2 drinks at the same time! I couldn’t find a price on this, so I can’t speak to whether or not it’s economically feasible, but this is something I would definitely save up to buy. Highly recommend!

Fully automatic, and customizable
on April 20, 2024
Posted by: jennf36
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF8 from KitchenAid and Influenster for my honest review. Let me start by saying WOW. This machine is astonishing! The design is sleek and relatively compact considering all this machine can accomplish. It is pretty simple to use, the instructions are easy to follow and the machine itself guides you through customization. You have the option to use whole beans, or ground beans. You have options to customize your perfect coffee. Everything from coffee strength, to heat settings. You also have the option of just getting hot water if that is what you need in the moment. And they also send you a recipe book for a few drinks to try. Cleaning the machine is easy and they send you 2 cleaning tablets to get you started. The only small complaint that I have is cup sizes. I love that you have the option for 2 cups and the hight is adjustable but if you usually use a tall cup you have to hold the cup under because it doesn’t fit. Not a deal breaker for me. All in all I am obsessed and I highly recommend this Espresso machine for its customization, and ease of use.
