High-end performance, beautiful design, and barist
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 pressur...

Terrible Product
I have had 2 of these machines and they haven't lasted 24hrs. They both leaked water out of the back tank ruining my floor. I would never purchase this machine again and if I could give it 0 stars I would. This has been the worst product I have purchased in my entire life.

Best Espresso Machine Ever
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!

Convenient!!! Revolutionary
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...

Mediocre espresso machine
I really wanted to love this espresso machine. It seems sturdy and very well made but after using it, there are some flaws. The bean grinder right on the machine works wonders! I do love that. Now with the pour of the espresso, that's another story. It seems that it doesn't matter which setting you set, you're going to get an amount of espresso, whether it's a single or...

Solid machine for at home use
Overall a great machine if you like the experience of packing your own grind and making espresso the traditional way. I had a little trouble getting the pressure just right, but the machine does not disappoint. I love that it has built in storage for the different size cups so you don’t need to keep the accessories far out of reach in another drawer in the kitchen. It l...

The Perfect Home Espresso Machine
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 ...

Loving my coffee time even more now!
I love my kitchenaid espresso machine, it makes very nice rich coffee with full flavour. It froths milk very well which is perfect for my lattes. I enjoyed experimenting and learning all settings and now I know how to make my perfect coffee!
Loving it!

Excellent All-In-One Espresso Setup — Quiet, Styli
I’ve been using the KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed. The built-in burr grinder is whisper-quiet compared to most machines, and the anti-static design keeps the counter surprisingly clean. The Smart Dosing knob makes it easy to dial in the right amount of grounds without much guesswork, and the ...

From the moment you open the box, you see thoughtful care in every detail. They’ve made every part of the process as clear as possible.

Sleek, Space Saving, Barista Making Expresso Machi
The KitchenAid Semi Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder is a nice upgrade from my old coffee maker. It has a sleek, fully stainless steel design. The machine sits at 15” H x 13” W and has a depth of 11.” It takes up surprisingly little counter space and sits well under a kitchen cabinet. I have to admit I was intimidating at first by all the buttons and accesso...

So convenient!
This espresso machine is amazing. Easy to use directions and makes a wonderful cup of espresso and with the grinding process is so much nicer than others I have used. It’s not a loud machine and you can make it the exact way you want for each separate cup which is nice when you have company over. The overall taste is absolutely amazing. Love love love it

A great machine with some small quirks!
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 ste...

Highly customizable and consistent espresso machin
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 h...

Love it
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 b...
