[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best! Best! Best coffee machine and I’m so obsessed with it!! It’s been such a fun upgrade to my coffee routine. The machine looks sleek on the counter and feels solidly built. The burr grinder makes a huge difference—grinds are super consistent, and I can really taste the freshness in every shot. Pulling espresso is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it, and it feels satisfying to make café-style drinks at home. It doesn’t give me the option to control the temperature of my coffee but it’s not an issue at all. The steam wand works well for frothing milk (took me a couple tries to nail the texture, but now it’s creamy and smooth). I like that it gives me the control of a semi-automatic machine without feeling overly complicated. Cleanup is simple too, which is a big plus for me. If you’re into making coffee at home and want a balance of quality and ease, this KitchenAid combo really hits the spot. It’s not quite “push a button and done,” but that’s part of the charm—you feel like a barista, and the results are delicious.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this expresso machine. it makes cafe quality drinks at home without being overly complicated. The built-in grinder is super convenient. Once you dial in the grind setting the espresso comes out smooth and rich and a perfect temperature. It feels solid and looks so sleek on the counter. The milk frother is also easy to use and makes luscious froth. I now look forward to my latte every morning.

I love coffee so it’s a perfect addition. There are so many brewing options and cleaning is pretty quick. Still working on figuring out the temperature control and grinding, but definitely enjoying this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this KitchenAid semi‑automatic espresso machine every morning, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite kitchen additions. The built-in burr grinder makes life so much easier. I can go from whole beans to a freshly ground shot in one seamless process. The espresso tastes rich and full‑flavored, just like what you’d get from a café machine. It’s surprisingly simple to use. The portafilter locks into place securely, and the steaming wand has just enough power to get smooth, velvety microfoam for my lattes. Cleaning is a breeze too; the parts are easy to detach and rinse. Plus, the design looks amazing on my counter with its modern yet timeless vibe. If you appreciate good coffee at home and want something reliable without extra hassle, this machine hits all the right notes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My morning routine of blearily making a pot of black coffee, simply to stave the overwhelming desire to return to the comfort and safety of my bed has been officially disrupted. This KitchenAid espresso machine; as the sirens to the great Odysseus, beckons me away from my slumber to dash my sleepy eyes against the aromatic rocks of Espresso. The simplicity of unpacking and setup was instantly eclipsed by the ease of grinding and procurement of the silky brown AM ambrosia. Steaming the milk and pouring into a beverage only reserved for vacations, truly is greater than the sum of its parts. Easily cleaned and maintained, this staple of the kitchen countertop is a blessing for those of us who loathe being ripped from dreamland to stare into the void of reality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so happy with my KitchenAid espresso maker! It was incredibly easy to assemble and get started—within minutes I was brewing my very first latte, and it turned out absolutely delicious. Cleanup is quick and simple, which makes using it every day a breeze. Everything works exactly as expected, and I love experimenting with new drinks at home. It’s made my coffee routine feel like a little café experience right in my kitchen. As a former barista I highly recommend!

I wanted so badly to like this machine, but after months of trying different grind/dose combinations, new beans, different beans, etc I have yet to pull decent shots. No matter what I do they’re thin and watery. I can’t get the pressure into the espresso range. Very disappointed especially given how pricey this machine is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine truly leaves nothing to be desired. I have owned comparable machines in the past and this one outshines competitors in steaming wand strength, heating time, and pure beauty. Its tank is easier to refill as well. I find it to be quiet enough to use in the early morning without waking my family, and the coffees are amazing. I don’t miss going to the cafe at all because this machine is faster and makes such high quality espresso even as a beginner. I also use the hot water for matchas because it heats faster than a kettle. Solid product! This was gifted to me by Kitchenaid and Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm used to a very simple machine, so transitioning to this was a learning experience. The provided guides helped a lot though and it helped me get used to the machine pretty quickly. The added accessories are all great quality with a nice heft to them, nothing feels cheap. I love the integrated grinder; I always got annoyed making coffee with my old machine because i would always run out of grinds, but with this I can just simply grind some more with little effort, without having to use a food processor. The customization for the brew is great, you can really fine tune how you want your coffee to come out. I usually don't use the steaming wand but I tried it a couple times with this and it worked great. One of the biggest pros of this machine is how quite it is. Compared to my cheap, small machine, this is so much quieter, which would come in really handy if you got other people at home that may still be asleep. Overall this is an amazing machine for someone who takes their coffee drinking experience seriously. I haven't had a cup of coffee from this machine that I was disappointed with. I highly recommend this if you're in the market for a new machine.
