Impressed
on March 14, 2024
Posted by: erican37
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, I am beyond impressed with the high-tech and ease of using this machine. The double is really large for my space, so definitely not space saving. Trying this has been such a joy for a coffee lover like myself. I have a breville bambino and that definitely pulls better shots than this, but for the beginner espresso/latte lover this will certainly be a gift to last a lifetime. The frother is probably the only dud of this machine but overall beautiful, sleek, very high-tech, functional, and easy to use. Thank you influenster and KitchenAid for letting me try this.

Efficient high volume espresso machine
on March 14, 2024
Posted by: aliysap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great espresso maker. I love the flexibility it provides in different kinds of beverages and milks. It would be a great fit for a high volume area like an office or amenity center. It both grinds beans and pulls the espresso shot so the flavor is very fresh. I recommend this espresso maker to anyone looking for a large format machine, but it is too big for a home or apartment setup.

Amazingly easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow what a luxe item that's so easy to use. I've had the machine a month now and I'm thoroughly impressed. You load the machine with your choice of coffee bean and milk (which you store in a removable milk tank for easy storage in the fridge between uses) and fill with water then your drink of choice is ready to be made in minutes.
The machine will run a rinse cycle at start up and then you have multiple choices for drink options. At the end of use you run another rinse before turning the machine off. It also comes with other cleaning modes for more thorough cleaning.
Kitchenaid included a small recipe book which I really appreciated. Pictured is an one of the recipes included. The basic latte machiatto is my favorite so far, I add a little brown sugar in the cup before brewing and it's ready within minutes. You can save some of your favorite drinks for ease of access. You can select how many shots you'd like in your drink, the size, and temperature. Customization is a strong point of this product.
The machine itself isn't wildly large. It sits nicely on the counter while taking up a small amount of space; it's worth it. It's sleek and modern looking so having it on the counter for display sparks small conversation and a gives a fun luxury in home experience for my guests.

A worthy investment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Embarking on the journey with the Elevated KF8 Automated Espresso Machine was a delightful surprise from start to finish.
First and foremost, let's talk about the coffee flavor. As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur, I have to say that the quality of the coffee produced by this machine is exceptional. Cleaning is often a dreaded task when it comes to coffee machines, but not with the KF8. The design makes cleaning a breeze, with removable parts that are easy to access and wash. What truly sets this machine apart is its customization options. Whether I'm in the mood for a bold espresso shot or a creamy latte, the KF8 delivers every time. Now, I'll admit I was initially hesitant about the price tag. However, after experiencing the superior quality and convenience of the KF8, I can see why it's worth every penny. This machine isn't just a coffee maker—it's an investment in elevating your at-home coffee experience.
For those considering this machine as a wedding registry item or luxury gift, look no further. Whether for yourself or a loved one, this machine is sure to impress and delight for years to come.

No need for Starbucks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine stepped up my coffee game. This is easy to use and walks you through every step. The only annoying thing is that it rinses hot water through the line every time you turn it on and shut it off. Other than that it’s amazing.

So easy
on January 11, 2025
Posted by: Willie310
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One month in and I love this machine. Such a wide variety of drinks and all customizable. They can be saved to your profile favorites too. Very easy to operate and clean. I wish milk froth was a little warmer but that’s easily solved by simply heating up milk just a touch beforehand in microwave to just take the chill off it. Impressive looking and customer service is fantastic

Very easy to use and high quality in coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this item for about 4 days now and have been playing with it everyday and sometimes several times a day. It’s a high quality, beautifully simplistic peace of machinery. Much larger and heavier than I was expecting. Has plenty of caffeinated drink options along with a green tea, hot water, hot milk options. Has plenty of settings such as 1 cup or 2, how hot you want you drink, how strong you want the coffee to be, what type of milk whether dairy or plant-based, milk first or coffee first and some other options I can’t remember at the moment. I have noticed that when using pre-ground coffee, the flavor of it isn’t as strong and tastes slightly watered down as when using the freshly ground coffee beans the taste of black coffee is stronger. However, I do love that you have the 2 options of using coffee beans or pre-ground coffee. I absolutely LOVE that there’s options u can use to set the machine to clean itself and to auto shut off when not in use. This machine is definitely hassle free in that respect. When using coffee beans, the aroma is so deliciously aromatic. Any coffee lover would be obsessed! LOVED, that there’s also an option to add PROFILES! Thought that was pretty cool! (FYI, KF6 can add 4 profiles, but CAN’T personalize them ~meaning naming them~, KF7 can add 4 profiles, and CAN personalize them, KF8 can add 6 profiles, and CAN personalize them). I think the only real complaint (if you want to even call it that) is that I wish you can add the size of the drink. For example, I had a cappuccino the other day but it was only about an xtra small cup worth. I understand a lot of these aren’t normally full size cups of coffee but I would have liked it for it to have that type of option. All in all, we love this espresso machine here at home!

Cool machine and makes great drinks!
on March 27, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a cool machine. Easy/quick set up, tons of customization options, and self-cleaning - it even looks sleek on the counter! You can customize the drink strength, steamed milk, foam, and more with a simple touch of a button - very user friendly. It also walks you through a quick cleaning each time you use the machine or the milk canister. It seems well-made, but I I am concerned that if anything ever breaks, it’s so high tech that I won’t be able to fix myself. This machine is fun and easy to use, and produces high quality drinks!
