Excellent espresso! Annoying frothing
on April 18, 2025
Posted by: CoFFEEEEEE
from Hopkinsville, KY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall it makes a nice espresso, it’s quiet and clean, but the milk frothing leaves a lot to be desired and I would not pay the high price for what you get— A room temp latte that needs to be microwaved. However I cannot go back to my pod system because I now realize that tastes like garbage so I’m making the best of heating my milk myself.
Pros: excellent espresso, brews quietly, cleans itself, beautiful display
Cons: does not get milk drinks hot enough (120-140F)- barely warm and cools off quickly, it takes a lot of steps to clean the milk hose (wish it was just a traditional frothing wand which is easier to clean), you can only do 6.3oz of milk frothing max however the actual amount of milk it dispenses is about 4 oz of milk so it only makes small lattes.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good. This machine makes great tasting coffee. Very easy to use. My only wish is for the water to be hotter.

KF 8 Amazing
on May 11, 2025
Posted by: Searay328
from Massapequa NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had or returned several coffee/espresso makers over many months and years before purchasing the KitchenAidKF8. It is simply the best machine you can possibly buy. Specifically, it makes great coffee, Preso drinks, and the other specialty drinks along with making excellent froth milk. The most important thing as well to consider is that this machine is super easy to clean and the brew group can come out periodically for a thorough cleaning unlike other machines available on the market.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Our 50th Anniversary Splurge - Wonderful Choice!
on June 3, 2024
Posted by: Starjeff
from Keller TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our espresso machine. We have had this for about 4 weeks and make 5-8 cups per day. It makes great regular coffee, so we gave our coffee pot away! The espresso drinks have all been wonderful. The best part is you can modify the recipes by changing temp, strength, and volume, and zero in on exactly what you like and then save the modified recipe in your profile. It is very consistent when you recall your drink.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressive - coming from a Saeco Gran Baristo and Jura Ena8. The machine is easy to use, it has a low noise level, buttons are easy to use, water container and bean hopper are great size.
