[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.] I’ve been using the KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder for a few months now, and it’s become a morning essential. The built-in burr grinder is incredibly consistent and saves counter space by eliminating the need for a separate grinder. Extraction is smooth and even, producing a rich crema every time once you dial in your grind and tamp pressure. The steam wand heats up quickly and produces café-quality microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos. The water tank is easy to remove and refill, and cleanup is straightforward. It does take a little practice to perfect your shots, but once you get the hang of it, this machine can easily rival your local coffee shop. It’s stylish, sturdy, and perfect for anyone who takes their espresso seriously. Looks amazing on the bar!

[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.] After a few months of using this, I'm a big fan of how easy it is to fine tune the grind for a super consistent brew. There's lots of instructions in the manuals to help you figure out all the settings. I don't use the steamer frequently, but I don't have any complaints about it. The machine is easy to wipe down and the built in accessory storage is great! I also like how easy it was to set the hot water fill to fill mugs with one touch for the guests that want "just normal coffee". The noise level is negligible; it does not bother my betta fish that lives right next to it! Overall, I can highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality espresso machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ability to dial in the grind of your beans and get a good pull of espresso could not be easier! I have used other machines and getting this one tuned in is hands down the easiest I have used! The bean hopper is a good side and so is the water tank. I wish the drip tray was bigger, it feels like I am constantly having to empty it. My biggest other feedback is the steaming is not quiet at all. I appreciate how hard this is to do with at home machines, but quiet this steamer is NOT!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Influenster and KitchenAid in exchange for my honest review. This espresso machine has been a definite upgrade to my old coffee maker, as it is semi-automatic with a built in burr grinder. My first impression was how gorgeous it is and well made this espresso machine is. It definitely lives up to the standards of maintaining the quality of KitchenAid products. It’s a statement piece that looks great on the kitchen counter, or a coffee nook. As for functionality, it is easy to operate and very user friendly, and I love how quiet it is! The buttons/controls are easy to read, it grinds evenly, and the frothing wand is easy to adjust. I absolutely love all the accessories: the portafilter and tamper are a nice substantial weight, and the storage drawer underneath helps keep everything organized. I am so impressed and happy with this espresso machine, and will be recommending it to all my family and friends!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I absolutely love this machine. We use it literally every single day and cannot rave about it enough. Super user friendly but with awesome customizable settings. I love the pop up flag showing the drip catch tray is full so you don't accidentally make a mess. The noise level is completely reasonable for how much work is needed to make espresso. Love the built in grinder and have had nothing but consistent and delicious results. Awesome device!

This is my 3rd machine, the others were replaced due to mechanical breakdown issues. This one does not make a good espresso. My other brands and older machines worked much better.

This espresso machine has been leaking water all over the counter ever since I got it. Kitchen aid product help is impossible to get ahold of last time I called it was a 10 hour wait. Do not recommend this product.
