[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a big coffee fan but totally new to espresso. This KitchenAid semi-automatic machine has been awesome so far. I’ve just pulled my third “successful” shot and I’m already getting the hang of it! It looked intimidating at first, but it’s actually really easy to use. My first shot was packed too tight and the machine shut off—turns out that’s a safety feature, which is nice. It’s simple, well-designed, and feels solid. Also, the packaging was fantastic. Super easy to unpack and set up. Overall, if you’re new to espresso but love coffee, this is a great machine to start with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This makes the most delicious coffee! First of all it was so easy to set up and a simple video walked me through on how to make my coffee. I love that the grinder is attached and you can choose the size of your grind. It’s a stunning piece and looks beautiful sitting on my counter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is awesome! Quiet is an understatement. I can whip up a quick americano without fear of waking up anybody in the morning! It's also super user friendly. I am no barista but can pull a great shot out of this. I’m in love with it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned another semi-automatic espresso machine for a while (the Covid years) but I never really got the hang of it. The KitchenAid, though, has been a completely different (and way better) experience. The quick start guide made a huge difference—especially for dialing in the grind and dose. It took me about four tries to get the settings just right, but once I did, the crema was consistent and tasted great. Pulling a shot is super easy. Now I can make an espresso quickly, even before work. It’s also quieter than my old machine, which is a nice bonus. In terms of the built in components - the grinder works so well that I can put away my separate grinder. Given the current heat, I’ve yet to try the steamer but, fingers crossed, it works just as well as the other components of the machine. The included accessories are also perfect for getting a newbie started—no need for additional purchases. It’s a really thoughtful setup. I actually look forward to my morning espresso now. If you’ve struggled with other machines or just want something easier to use, I’d definitely recommend the KitchenAid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to get this espresso machine I really love coffee. This machine is so great. It’s easy to use. It’s not as loud as I thought it was gonna be .The coffee is so good once you get the hang of it . You’ll never wanna go back to your regular coffee maker once you start making your coffee with this espresso machine and it’s super easy to clean and it has everything that you need to achieve that good espresso.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn't a big fan of coffee because I found it foggy and difficult to prepare. But with this coffee maker I can prepare high quality coffee like in famous coffee shops. It is very easy to use and clean I feel like a true coffee professional.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grinder on this espresso machine is legit, and the espresso it pulls is amazing! On day one, after a few test shots to dial in settings, I was able to make a latte nearly on par with my favorite coffee shop which felt pretty incredible. With the right beans and a bit more practice I am confident I’ll meet or exceed their results! I reduced my review from 5 to 4 stars because the reservoir does have a tendency to leak if not perfectly seated on its base- and it did leak all over my countertop and floor on its first night in my kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is great! I thought it would be overwhelming to learn how to use it but it’s actually very user friendly and so easy to brew that perfect cup. The grinder is quiet and gives a nice selection of coarseness. The coffee tastes so fresh and smells good.
