[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder for a little while now. Customization Options: What I really like is how easy it is to dial things in. You can adjust the grind size, shot amount, and milk froth just the way you want. I’ve been experimenting with different beans, and it’s been fun finding that perfect balance for espresso, cappuccino, or even an iced latte. Noise Level: It’s not whisper quiet, but definitely quieter than I expected. The grinder has a low hum instead of that sharp, rattling sound some machines make, and the brewing part is pretty calm too I can make coffee early in the morning without waking anyone up. Grinding Performance: The burr grinder is a game changer. It grinds evenly and gives a consistent texture every time, which really brings out the flavor in the espresso. The grind settings are easy to adjust, and the beans don’t jam or get stuck. Brewing Consistency: The machine heats up quickly and keeps a steady temperature, so the results are super consistent. I used to have a cheaper espresso machine, and this is on a whole different level. Cleaning Ease: Cleanup isn’t bad at all. The parts come off easily, and I can rinse everything in just a few minutes. The grinder doesn’t make a big mess either, which is a huge plus for me. Overall: If you’re thinking about getting a semi automatic espresso machine that gives you café-quality coffee at home, this KitchenAid is worth it. It’s simple enough for everyday use but gives you enough control to feel like a barista. Totally recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say, the KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder has totally upgraded my mornings! As a busy working mom and wife, my days start early and move fast, but this machine makes that first cup of coffee feel like a little luxury. The built in grinder is amazing; the coffee always tastes so fresh, and I love that I can customize the grind and strength depending on my mood (or how much sleep I got 😅). It’s sleek, sturdy, and actually looks beautiful sitting on my counter — definitely gives off “mini café at home” vibes. Once I got the hang of it, making espresso, lattes, and cappuccinos was super easy, and the results taste just as good (if not better) than my usual coffee shop runs. The only tiny downside is that cleanup can take a few extra minutes when I’m in a rush, but honestly, the coffee is worth it. It’s made my mornings calmer and a lot more enjoyable. The milk frother is also a bit loud, but using it is optional. Overall, I’ve really enjoyed this espresso machine. It was easy to set up and use as there is a QR code to scan which gives you video tutorials. It definitely takes practice using this machine, but so worth it! Give yourself time to set this up, it will be worth it to take a few extra minutes with this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso maker is almost perfect! It’s such great quality and if you spend time learning you can adjust pretty much everything. Once you get the hang of it and get the settings to your desired levels with great coffee grinder…you can make some consistently awesome coffee . Super easy to clean and and consistently use. Definitely not as loud as my old coffee maker. It really does have some cool features, I love how I can just take top coffee bean storage out and easily fill it. Apps love the handle on the water tank. The only small adjustment I would make to this would be adjusting the water tank to make it easier to fill water from the fridge.

It's a good machine but had a better experience with breville. Mostly due to ease of use. There are more steps to switching between coffee and steamer. Also the coffee tends to spill when grinding and coffee grounds go everywhere making it more difficult to keep area clean. The espresso drip quality is very good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] By far the best espresso machine for the money. It could very well be the best machine out there for home use. There’s not a single thing that I can find wrong with it after 1.5 months of daily use between two people. There hasn’t been a time where I said it would be better if it had this or that, they included everything and all of the parts are designed to be stored internally. It’s extremely easy to clean using the built in frother (it works off of steam). Since it uses steam I’m able to get a thorough clean of everything. It has a pressure gauge that shows optimum pressure for pulling your shots, and you can get your perfect shot by playing around with different grind settings, how hard you tamp the grounds, and which of the 4 included stainless steel filter plates you choose. It also comes with a recipe book with TONS of drinks you can make with this machine, I’ve been making Iced lattes at home every morning and it’s awesome doing it myself! I’ve recommended this machine to multiple family members and friends and they all love it as well. I’m super happy with it, they really did a great job designing this machine/set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine has become an integral part of my morning routine that I look forward to everyday. The machine learning process was seamless & now I can make lattes, foam milk, & espresso at the touch of a button!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always loved café-style drinks, but I’ll admit I was intimidated by espresso machines that looked like they belonged in a professional coffee shop. This one from KitchenAid has totally changed that. It feels approachable enough for beginners but still has enough control to keep things interesting once you get the hang of it. The built-in burr grinder is a huge win—it saves counter space and makes sure the beans are fresh every single time. I’ve been experimenting with different grind settings, and it really does change the flavor of the espresso, which is fun if you like to tinker. Pulling shots feels consistent, and once you figure out your ratio, it’s easy to repeat. Steaming milk for lattes and cappuccinos is smoother than I expected (though it takes a little practice to get that café microfoam). I’ve made everything from americanos in the morning to cappuccinos in the afternoon, and the quality is honestly close to what I’d buy out. If you want to dip your toes into home espresso without diving into something overly complicated, this machine nails it. It’s sturdy, looks great on the counter, and makes you feel like you’ve leveled up from drip coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder is a capable all-in-one that delivers consistent, flavorful shots after a bit of dialing in. I had no experience pulling shots before, but the included manual made me feel comfortable to give it a shot. After a few grind adjustments I’m making the best lattes I’ve ever had! The built-in burr grinder is quiet and produces even grounds. Customization is great, with grind size, dosing, temperature presets. It will take some trial and error to get everything perfect, but once dialed the machine is very consistent. Brewing is smooth and stable, with good crema, though frequent bean changes need re-tuning and the steam wand is serviceable but not powerful. Cleaning is a breeze with removable parts. Everything feels like great quality, lots of stainless steel! Overall, it’s a quiet, user-friendly choice for home baristas who want quality espresso without a bunch of seprate equipment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This might be a little dramatic to say that this machine has changed my life!! However, I love that I can fill it with beans and water and espresso myself happy for days in a row. This sure beats having to set up the coffee maker every night before bed and awake to hohum coffee or to have to dip out espresso on the stove top and wait for the water to boil. I can stumble down the stairs partially asleep, press a few buttons (although the buzzing noise is a bit jarring to the sleeping family so I close the kitchen door- only for about 10 seconds) and voila my espresso is ready !!! I have tried the milk frother a few times but I’m mostly happy to receive the caffeine. My mornings have drastically improved. This is my favorite thing in a long time!! Get one now!!
