[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having an Expresso machine right in my kitchen. The different brew options are great to satisfy my husband and I. This product exceeded my expectations, the self cleaning function makes a huge difference in maintenance. It's as easy as pressing a button. It's very beginner friendly. There are a few cons however, 1. The instruction book is very generic and not much help getting started. 2. The spot where you put the grounds is under a cover that you have to remove to add coffee to every single brew. If you add it before choosing your drink, it dumps the grounds and causes you to refill using twice as much coffee. 3. The Expresso machine does not get hot enough. Everything comes out warm even on the highest temp setting. If you add any creamer or additional anything it instantly is too cold to drink and requires it to be rewarmed. Overall I would recommend this machine to friends and family and even new coffee users. It has so many customization options there is no way you won't find something you like.

[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 brought this to my work so I will summarize their reviews in addition to mine: My review: very easy to use, self-cleaning, nicely automated, solid drink options with nice custom features (volume, temperature, etc.). Coworkers: "IM OBSESSED WITH THIS MACHINE" "THIS IS F-ING AWESOME" "IT CLEANS ITSELF!!!!!" So... big win at the office!!

[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.] 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.] First I want to thank Influenster for this amazing espresso machine! It truly is like a work of art. I do have some complaints too, but I will list those later. The machine is pretty big but incredibly sleek and high-tech looking. You can use coffee beans or ground coffee, and you can customize nearly everything from the type of coffee beverage, the size, the temperature, the strength of coffee, etc. After doing the initial cleaning I made 2 shots of espresso in a small cup, and it tasted great. I’m excited to experiment with different drinks and even the recipes included in the mini booklet that came with the machine. My main complaint is that the milk container is completely missing, and the hose connector is literally cut in half and the other half is missing. I’m not sure why. Luckily I think I can find ways around that, but it’s a little disappointing. Other than that, I am really impressed and can’t wait to see what this beautiful machine can do!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is quiet and easy to clean. My husband says the espresso tastes watered down, but I don't agree, it boils down to personal preference. I do have a coffee maker and when comparing the two machines, this espresso makes a great cup of coffee. This thing is very bulky so I put my regular coffee maker away. In my opinion, this machine wastes a lot of water for a single cup of coffee, it rinses before AND after use. Another con is, if you don't buy the milk tank, this machine can't make the drinks that require milk, so you're not getting the full experience. Lastly, when I was cleaning the drip tray, the latch broke off, thus making the whole machine unusable because it thinks there is no drip tray without the little piece that broke off. Watch the video attached for clarification.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did a side by side comparison with my current coffee machine and this one definitely deserves the 5 stars. It has a very sleek design and is ultra quiet while being used. The setup is very plug and play and was ready to use within about 5 minutes of unboxing. I would definitely recommend this machine for someone looking for a fully automatic espresso machine with multiple drink options.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fully automatic espresso machine is awesome. We love it use it on the daily basis. My kids love to make hot chocolate with it. It’s super easy to use and pretty quite while using it. I love it!! Cleaning it is a breeze. Very easy to maintain it’s definitely a family favorite.
