I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect from the 1st cup!

I recieved my KF8 on Jan 23rd and have made so many different drinks without a single disappointment! Upon unboxing, I followed the steps to prepare the machine, with exception to making the 4-5 "prep" espressos, i just jumped right on in. My first cup was worlds apart than any Nespresso, Keurig, or any other machine out there! So tasty! I have already set my favorites in my profile and start my day with a latte macchiato, then make a double espresso for an iced coffee on the go. I noticed some reviews state that the temperature does not get warm enough, but they must have had a defective machine or didnt change the temp in the profile, as mine brews hot! While the machine is pricy, it is absolutely worth every penny! I do not regret my decision to grab this one!

Worth the splurge!

Outstanding machine! We purchased to replace a Philips 5500 machine that had started having problems. It was double the price of our Philips, but both the machine and drink quality are far superior. The machine is relatively quite, the parts are amazingly sturdy, and the milk foam is like silk! We are using the same beans as before, but our drinks are significantly more flavorful now. Maintenance is also significantly simpler. We absolutely love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love everything about this machine except the temperature of the coffee. I wish the hottest setting was hotter.

Recommend for excellent espresso based drinks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still getting used to but so far impressed. Coffee is excellent and I have tried a couple different espresso beans. I like size of water container, removable bean bin, and ability to use milk from container or directly from carton. Flexibly of system is nice with numerous settings. The only negative is amount of water used for rinsing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far it’s going well. I would have liked nicer foamed milk, I haven’t figured out optimal settings yet, but it’s better than my old nespresso machine. The coffee doesn’t seem as rich as barista quality but I’m not much of a bean expert. The crema isn’t as heavy as from nespresso. I wish there were more objective YouTube videos on how to optimize various settings or taste comparisons for standard medium roast beans.

Worth every penny!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very straight forward to use. Easy to clean. Easy to dial in a drink to your personal preference. Like the style of the machine and the color. As you can tell I’m super impressed by the KF8. If I had to be critical I’d request a larger water container. Also, after adding more beans not having to touch any of the beans when locking the bean basket into the machine. Neither one is a deal breaker and could add value if added later. Also, having a drink count and being able to dial in the drinks / edit profiles via an app could be more convenient.
