[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is well made . Expresso machine makes great expresso fast. The coffee is perfect every time, and the smell of just grounded beans in the morning is what your days need to go from 'meh' to 'life has a purpose and it is fully fulled by this machine'.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Kitchen Aid semi-automatic espresso machine brews like a dream…if you can get it fired up. I had trouble getting the grinding process to start, and there are no troubleshooting instructions available. Luckily, it started to work after sitting unplugged. I would have given it 4 stars if I didn’t have the Breville Barista Express to compare it to. Pros: Very quiet compared to similar models Extra large water tank Super high quality grinder Really solid portafilter and tamper LED lights illuminate the grinding process Brews an AWESOME cup Cons: No resources to troubleshoot errors Lots of trial and error to find correct grind The start button looks CHEAP (like a cardboard sticker) and brings down the appearance of the entire machine Hot water stream is slow Button toggle system has a delay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unboxing was super fun! At first it seemed very intimidating but the instructions were clear and easy to follow! After the grinding, packing and the espresso processes you come out with a cafe quality shot made right at home! I was impressed by the simplicity of the machine itself! Definitely worth a recommendation for anyone who loves cafe style coffee! Loved this!!!! Best review yet!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My honest opinion about the Kitchen Aid semi automatic expresso machine with burr grinder. The machine work very well for my expresso. The quality of the machine is very good. The only problem is the fast instruction to set the expresso machine for the first time, do not follow the fast instructions. Read the manual instructions there details you need to do before use the expresso machine. But I recommend 100%

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the expresso machine is great but the water is not very hot. average temp on most expresso machine is 172 degree and yours is at the best 132 degree..over all we like the KITCHENAID.. the gauge meter is lazy and has a problem moving off its rest point. it moved one time when we first used it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It looks very beautiful in my kitchen, apart from the esthetic the performance overall is very good, we have to do some adjustments and testings but the final results are very good, the milk frother is amazing and the water tank is super big so that you dont have to refill it every time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this espresso machine for a bit now, and so far it's been really great. I've been enjoying trying different espresso drinks from the included recipe booklet. I only deducted a star because it is a little on the loud side. Other than that I've absolutely loved it. Such a nice, well made machine. Everything feels very high quality. The water reservoir is large and holds plenty of water, so you don't have to fill it up all the time. Also has a nice carrying handle to carry it to the sink. The stainless steel is beautiful and blends well in any kitchen. It's been easy to clean and care for so far as well. Overall I am very happy! It has everything I could want or ask for in an at home espresso machine. I drink espresso every morning, so it's been amazing having the ability to make it at home and save some money! Definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We own other KitchenAid products, so purchasing a KitchenAid espresso machine made sense. This machine DOES NOT disappoint! It works amazingly well and is high quality. The grinder is so quiet which is a huge plus in the mornings when everyone is asleep. I'm very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Learning curve but not too difficult! The unit is gorgeoussss and definitely an update from my past espresso machine. Appreciate the self cleaning feature and the grinder attachment. Took a first few pulls to get the perfect espresso. Definitely worth the price for any intermediate coffee maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a caffeine addict so I couldn't wait to set up my machine!! I am not going to lie it did take a little time to set it up but it was well worth the effort The temperature of the espresso was perfect and I loved all the different options it provides for brewing. The burr grinder was such a nice added bonus as I haven't seen many machines with this option. I also love the built in milk steamer. The quality and taste of the espresso is out of this world. I would recommend reading the instructions for the set up and for making your espresso the first few times. Good quality product that I will be using on a daily basis.
