I would give 5 stars if they can fix this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving the machine but the two con I have with the system is the milk temperature and internet connectivity. The milk system is not hot at all. It's luke warm. I have to put it in the microwave to warm it up. Also, other newer machine can connect online to do an update. If the system can be updated over the air with they're drink programming would be a huge plus.

Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all it looks great on the countertop. I was worried about the size and appearance but it is beautiful. We are really enjoying it and it is easy to use. Instead of having to use the grinder and then another machine it is great to do it all together. The only complaint we have is that there isn’t an option to use frothed creamer within the machine. We have the frother from the espresso machine and we love it. Perhaps the other could be added as an attachment with wider tubing

If like plant-based milk, this is for you!

Great espresso machine so far. I prefer oatmilk, so I bought it specifically because it has this option. Make sure you buy Barista milk if you want to work it properly; I'm not sure about cow milk. Very easy to maintain and clean; KitchenAid did an excellent job.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Actually this Automatic Espresso Machine is a replacement for one that I had for almost 10 months old when it started leaking water. KitcchenAid cheerfully replaced it. Thank You So Much

We extensively researched, fully automatic, espresso machines and are extremely pleased with our purchase. The quality of the build and operation of the espresso machine is first class. The user interface is intuitive including the cleaning.

Easy to use, Reliability still undecided

I am glad I did not pay full price. The machine is ok. The system is used about 4 times da day, mainly for straight coffee. I just installed a second water filter. This seems extremely odd considering the system is not used anymore than my old Keurig. Coffee temperatures should be increased for all drink options.I have it set to the hottest temp and it is simply ok. I like the inclusiveness of the system but wish the milk container was not an additional unit.

This is our 2nd one to replace the defective unit. So far 1 month and it works well. Very loud, but functions as expected.
I would recommend this to a friend!
