Wow! Big hit with the family. Grandam has a custom Latte programed that she set up after 3 cups of testing. Hot chocolate from a package with steamed milk needs an extra shot 2oz of hot water to make it hot. All beans have a different caffeine content. You can make some eye twitching strong expresso with the right beans. This might be a camping game changer.

Kitchen Aid hit a home run with this machine. I've had coffee from Juras and Nespresso machines. I purchased a DeLonghi and used it a few times only to discover broken pieces in the bottom of the box. So I returned it and decided to spend twice as much (gulp) on the Kitchen Aid and it was so worth it. Right away, the packing was so much better, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. (The Delonghi instructions were practically incomprehensible). Everything just works on this machine, from changing default settings, cleaning functions, to of course making fantastic coffee. I'm very happy with my purchase, and am glad the DeLonghi was broken, because I would have just lived with it if it wasn't and not purchased this by far superior product.

It’s a great machine. I had a problem with the first one I bought clogging up but they sent a replacement and it seems to work fine. All the features and the design and interfaces are very high end.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Works great. Did have problems with the first one but kitchen aid was great and sent me a new one. Love this machine.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have had this for a few months ago and over all I like it. Just a couple small things, that is why it did not get 5 stars. I wish it did not clean the heads on start up and shut down. pick one only or do every other time. I would also like to see the ability to adjust the milk temperature. Overall I am happy with it and would recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: Well built, well designed. Self cleaning is easy. Drinks are well executed. Cons: Limited drink choices, but sufficient for basic Espresso beverages. Does not heat milk to hot, just warm, so if you like your milk-based beverage HOT, you must pre-heat your milk in the microwave prior to using it in/with the machine. Unable to label "user1", "user2" with names. Navigation to actually assign drinks to users is not intuitive. It would be nice to be able to first, set up the drink and save the drink to the user, then brew the drink. Sadly, you have to brew first, save last.

I've had my machine for over a year now. I love that you can save multiple profiles and several drinks in each profile. It makes creating a coffee exactly how I like it very easy. But I wish I had got a different coffee maker. It uses a quarter cup of water to rinse every time you turn it on and every time you turn it off. Wasting half a cup of water every use is ridiculous! The coffee Hopper is also very messy and Spills coffee grounds inside the machine. You can access it to clean them up, but they do go moldy quite quickly and it's just a lot of work. The drip trays also constantly get filled from the regular internal workings of the machine and contain not only water but also coffee and so it's always a mucky mess as well.

The KF6 makes great coffee and it's easy to use. Although, often it can takes minutes of pressing the buttons on the right side for them to register and make the coffee.

I received this as a gift over the summer (2025). I enjoy the capabilities of the machine and how easy it can be to have everything you need in one, somewhat automated machine. Having said that, I have had numerous issues with the machine become clogged (specifically the brew unit. And yes - I have ensure my water quality is top notch and I'm performing regular (and overly frequent) cleanings as perscribed on the site and instructions. I''m not happy with this.

Worked great for a month. Then it wanted to clean itself and for me to change the filter. My water is filtered before it goes to machine but no apparent way to get around this. Could not restart after changing filter even though the filter was clean and didn’t need to be changed. I am an intelligent person born before computer age and Connor figure out how to restart this coffee machine. Instructions assume a lot and following them gets nowhere. How about a machine that is not so complicated? This one is terrible!!!!!
