[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] look at this beauty in my counter top. Isn't she gorgeous?? Can't wait to see how she is working. I am a big fan of kitchenaid, and it doesn't have bad things. hop, this coffee maker will be one of my favorites. I will come with updates later

I have been looking for a new espresso machine for home for quite some time. I kept debating between semi & fully automatic options with a plethora of different price points. I was genuinely unable to make a decision until I saw this beauty. I love the sleek design & the fact that the exterior is not plastic. I have seen far more expensive machines that I would never be able to justify the price point of, but this is a solid machine & I believe it is worth every penny. And, can we take a moment to admire how beautiful the Juniper shade is? It’s perfect. Setup was very quick from unpacking the box to making my first latte. The steam wand is comparable to many other machines within this price range & you will have no issues making a piping hot latte, americano or even a perfect cup of tea. I am extremely impressed with how quiet the grinder is. I can make a latte in the morning before work without being in fear that the noise will wake my spouse. The machine does not take up a massive footprint on my countertop. It is fairly compact. My upper kitchen cabinets are set a bit low so I was fairly certain that I would not be able to set it on the countertop at all, but it fits like a glove. If I had *one* negative thing to say it would be that my puck does not always easily release from my portafilter. Overall, I could not be happier with my espresso machine. Not incentivized. I paid for my machine with my own money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So glad I got this! Super easy to get the perfect coffee consistency for the coffee. The flavor was amazing once brewed. The stainless steel made clean up a breeze. 100% would recommend if you’re a coffee lover.

[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.] - Previously, I had been using the Breville Barista Express (which I still like) borrowed from a family member. I wanted my own espresso machine and decided to with this one since it had more features that make using it a breeze. - The removable water tank, the removable/interchangeable coffee bean holder are both great when requiring a refill. I haven't felt the need to try different beans, but if you're more of an enthusiast, it'd be a plus for you. - - The wheels in back of the machine make it easier to refill water and clean the surrounding area, yet it is stable enough so the machine doesn't move around as you use it - I liked the color options that are provided for this item and selected the white one, which I felt is easier and tends to look cleaner than most stainless steel appliances. - I also really love the size of this one by comparison to other machines with similar features. I don't have a ton of counter space, this one fit easily into the rest of my kitchen. - I haven't started making any drinks that require steamed milk, but it's nice to have in case I would like to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] INLFLUENSTER 👏 KEEPS 👏 SURPRISING 👏 ME! I received this KitchenAid Espresso Maker as part of a VoxBox Campaign and I swear my life is so different with this in it 😭😭 This machine is QuietMark certified meaning it’s sooooo quiet in the mornings unlike most espresso machines that would wake my whole house up at 6AM. There’s a warming pad on top of the machine that keeps my cup warm while my beans are grinding. Also paired with a steamer and hot water spout, this KitchenAid Espresso Machine is one-of-a-kind and so far the best part of my 2024!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE THIS ESPRESSO MACHINE! I’ve always been really intimidated by espresso machines because it looks hard to make. However, Kitchen Aid’s Semi Automatic Espresso Machine made things so much easier! There’s a guide with how to make sure you’re grinding the beans properly (either fine or coarse) so that the espresso comes out smooth. Theres also a guide with different types of drinks you can make. There’s many cool features including the milk steamer, the stamp that packs the ground beans, the gauge which shows you if the espresso is going to come out at the right temperature, and much more. Honestly, since receiving this Espresso machine, I haven’t bought any other coffee. It’s quick & easy and one of the best machines I’ve ever had to review!

I absolutely love it!! I was hesitant with all the paid for reviews but went ahead and ordered this bad boy anyways. Glad I did. I was able to make perfect Cubano’s in 3 try’s. Now I’m set for life:). The coffee is velvety and smooth. With no bitter taste. (I followed the simple instructions. lol). The way I like it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received the KitchenAid semi automatic espresso machine. It took about few try’s to really get the hang of it but now I am brewing exceptional espresso at home! Love the different grinding level options, options for a double shot is a must for me and this espresso machine has that too! Temperature level for the water is great!! It also has a milk steamer and a spout for hot water which is very handy for tea making! All in all I am pretty impressed with this machine!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to get this machine and start using it. I have been searching for an espresso machine already, so the timing for receiving this was perfect. My initial impressions were that it’s very high quality and looks nice, a compact but robust size that fits snuggly under a cabinet. There was an issue with the water filter plastic encasing, unfortunately the top part of it broke and then when I opened the bottom to add a filter, one of the plastic latching pieces broke off as well, so now it doesn’t properly shut all the way. It still somewhat works, and since I use filtered water anyway I’m not too worried, just thought it was worth mentioning. I did want to take my time getting familiar with the parts and set up, so I do have one critique here that the instructions and website (linked via QR code) did lack some clarity especially when it came to priming the pump, and then also running the clean cycle. I’m still not clear on the difference between the two, I just know that water comes out of different nozzles for the cleaning cycle - so be prepared with extra cups for that (it shoots out if the steam wand last). It would have been helpful to know how many rounds to expect to go through these cycles before the machine would be ready to brew espresso, I eventually got there but the whole time I felt like I was doing something wrong. Definitely a learning curve! The last issue I had was that the water leaks from the tank in the bottom tray where the extra filters and cleaning brush live (photo attached) I clean it every time, but this happens even after its been unused for hours. But the reason for my five stars is because once everything is said and done, this thing works like a champ! The burr grinder is exceptionally good, the beans are ground with ease and its not loud at all. The texture comes out perfect depending on the setting. The actual brewing function works great, I was able to pull robust frothy shots on my first go. Delicious! I do wish the steam wand was longer, but it gets the job done. I’m excited to continue trying new combinations with the different filters and techniques for grinding the beans to create my perfect cup. I do think there are just a few small things that could use improving that I only mention because of the price point, but overall it’s a very high quality machine for the amateur coffee aficionado.
