Exceeds expectations. However the milk rinse occurs every time we use it or turn it on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my product. I haven’t used it yet because I have been out of town. It looks really good and big. I came home to check it out. Looks durable. Can’t wait to use it. I plugged it in and it’s pretty quiet. I have tried other kitchen aid products and I love them. I love the stainless steel color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All I have to say is wow this is amazing the simple fact I can make any coffee I want right in my own home is great the way this item is built is great it’s good and solid and the brewing capacity in this is great hold up to a full bag of beans all you do is press a button and make any of at least ten different coffees and the flavor of the coffee comes out great not water down and it also doesn’t leave a bad after taste like some kind of cups and when your done it even cleans itself I highly recommend this kitchen aid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is amazing! It makes multiple types of coffee and milk drinks. It's very easy to make whatever strength coffee you like. I love that it grinds the coffee beans direct inside the machine. The screen is colored, well lit and easy to read. The quality of this machine feels amazing. It's sturdy yet sleek. I'll be donating my other coffee maker because this one has all the options I could need. I already have requests from family about what kind of coffee they want come morning. It was a bit noisy at first but by the 4th time running, it became much quieter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought to make espresso and occasional milk drink. Excellent espresso after dialing in my preferences. The caps and lattes are just ok, steamed milk works, but weak frothing. For the price point, this was a good purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time owning an expresso machine so I may be biased on my review. I love coffee and had to get this! I will say it’s a lot to learn but the instructions are very clear and you can also go to the website using the QR code to look at how to set it up and find some delicious recipes. As for noise level I would say it’s moderate, it doesn’t bother me. Cleaning is also kind of a hassle since it’s so bulky. However this doesn’t affect quality so I’m still going to give it 5 stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, this Espresso machine is great! Talk about user friendly, this is completely that, in almost every way. From setup to first cup, the process is streamlined and completely doable if you don't have the manual, as it walks you through each step on the LCD screen. Having never made espresso or cappuccino myself like this before, I'm blown away at how it hones/honed my ability with it. Cleaning it is amazingly easy and streamlined as well. Negatives: The first thing that is not the best about this machine, is that a standard cup size or bigger than standard cup size will not fit under the dispenser. I know and then where that macchiato and espresso cups are usually small but I know most people don't have these so there's that. Also there is no milk tank included, therefore you need to provide your own milk tank or area for milk. It's a little confusing regarding what buttons to push initially.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love all things KitchenAid and this Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF6 is my favorite! Friends...! It's so cool and fancy! I'm absolutely obsessed with it! Although it is the smallest if the 3 versions it's quality and functions are not small! I've been wanting to learn how to make my own espressos and fancy coffee drinks ☕️ from home but have always been intimidated....this little baby is perfect for beginners! It's fully automatic and us super smart! 😎 Assembly is really easy as it does not require much. It comes with the basics like a filter, instruction manuals, recipe books, etc. Once set up it walks you through everything step by step. This thing is capable of making SO MANY awesome drinks! Plain coffee, espresso shots, lattes, cappuccino, hot water for cocoa or tea etc. It has a grinder built in for whole espresso beans which is very convenient. If you prefer grounds - that's an option too! This is the "basic" version of the 3 but is just slightly smaller without the milk frother container...but....rest assured because it still froths milk! You just hook the little hose up directly to your dairy product of choice or buy yourself a little cup for frothing. It's super easy and 100% customizable! It's literally what coffee dreams are made of! 😉 There is something for everyone. Clean up is also a breeze. This awesome machine is worth every dollar! I 100% recommend purchasing it especially if you are a beginner. I'm still learning what I like best but so far it's caramel macchiato for the win! My advice is to do your research and practice! Read the manual and experiment, experiment, experiment! The more you play with it the more it does!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this item for about 4 days now and have been playing with it everyday and sometimes several times a day. It’s a high quality, beautifully simplistic peace of machinery. Much larger and heavier than I was expecting. Has plenty of caffeinated drink options along with a green tea, hot water, hot milk options. Has plenty of settings such as how hot you want you drink, how strong you want the coffee to be, what type of milk whether dairy or plant-based, milk first or coffee first and some other options I can’t remember at the moment. It isn’t entirely noiseless but not super noisy either. Also, I have noticed that when using pre-ground coffee, the flavor of it isn’t as strong and tastes slightly watered down as when using the freshly ground coffee beans the taste of black coffee is stronger. However, I do love that you have the 2 options of using coffee beans or pre-ground coffee. It grounds the coffee beans for you too! I absolutely LOVE that there’s options u can use to set the machine to clean itself and to auto shut off when not in use anywhere from 8 minutes to 8 hours. Right before it shuts off it does a quick clean cycle and drips out the water when cleaning itself right into the drip try. This machine is definitely hassle free in that respect. When using coffee beans, the aroma is so deliciously aromatic. Any coffee lover would be obsessed! LOVED, that there’s also an option to add PROFILES! Thought that was pretty cool! (FYI, KF6 can add 4 profiles, but CAN’T personalize them ~meaning naming them~, KF7 can add 4 profiles, and CAN personalize them, KF8 can add 6 profiles, and CAN personalize them). I think the only real complaint (if you want to even call it that) is that I wish you can add a larger option to the size of the drink. For example, I had a cappuccino the other day but it was only about an xtra small/small cup worth. I understand a lot of these aren’t normally full size cups of coffee but I would have liked it for it to have that type of option. All in all, we love this espresso machine here at home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just had to share my review of the Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF6 with you. It's seriously amazing! The automatic milk frothing feature is a dream come true, giving you that perfect creamy foam every time. Just fill up your cup with whatever type of milk you desire, attach the frothing hose, and let the machine do the rest. And you know what's really cool? The bean swapping is made super simple, making it a breeze to switch up your coffee selection. But here's the best part: the auto purge feature ensures that your coffee's taste isn't compromised by any leftover grounds. It automatically clears out the remaining beans in the grinder between batches. Talk about attention to detail! Oh, and let's not forget about the "Clean Me" indicator light. It's like having a cleaning reminder right at your fingertips! Plus, you can even program it based on the water hardness level. How convenient is that? The built-in grinder is a dream come true. It produces the ideal volume and consistency for every drink selection, making your coffee-making process a breeze. And with the easy-to-use touch screen, you can create 15 different recipe options. It's like having a barista right in your kitchen! Not to mention with its sleek and stylish design, it's visually appealing and looks great on any countertop. Now, I have to be honest, it can be a little loud at startup and during certain processes. But trust me, the ease of use and lightning-fast drink-making capabilities more than make up for it. So if you're looking for a super easy-to-use espresso machine that makes drinks in a flash, this is the one for you! Cheers to delicious coffee!
