Disappointing Frother
on April 26, 2025
Posted by: This Friend
from Olympia WA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KF8 was bought as an addition to the De’Longhi Eletta we have to end the debate over decaf coffee or regular coffee. The Eletta always produces perfect milk drinks with a domed froth top. The KF8, however , falls flat with a thin bubbled layer on top of the milk. The menu design on the touch screen is impressive. I just wish Kitchen Aid could give us more froth.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Really great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it! Had it about a month. Haven’t explored all the options (one can only drink so much coffee per day), but looking forward to exploring the choices. One of the first drinks I made for my wife, an espresso martini, was a huge hit!

I like everything about this machine, especially the ease of cleaning. It literally walks you through everything, and the steps are easy to accomplish. I use this machine A LOT, and am delighted.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect Home Cafe
on August 4, 2024
Posted by: Epeter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using this espresso machine now for three months, being a replacement for another brand and similar machine that we had for three years. This machine is a joy to use, and is very well made with Swiss quality. Certainly not inexpensive, but worth it.

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.
