The coffee machine of dreams
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine is amazing so easy to use, prompts when water needs filling or trays need emptying.
You can adjust the way your coffee is made and whether you prefer milk or coffee first.
We wasted money on another brand that was held at a high standard but the coffee was never nice from day one.

Great machine
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I couldn’t be happier with my KitchenAid KF7 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine. From the first cup, it’s clear this is a premium machine built with both quality and convenience in mind. The design is sleek and solid, fitting beautifully into my kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced an excellent Gaggia Titanium that finally gave up the ghost after 20 years of faithful service with the KitchenAid KF7 Espresso Machine. This machine is AMAZING! So very quiet, large bean hopper and water reservoir and the variety of drinks available, thanks to the milk container attachment, is a welcome cha...

Excellent Machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this machine for a few weeks now and am very pleased with it. The features are great for preparing your exact preferences. It is a solid machine that looks wonderful on my counter. I had a Delonghi before this that couldn’t quite make the perfect cup

Fantastic!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are loving our KF8! It is so simple to use and maintain. I was concerned about the cleaning and maintenance process. We keep a nice white ceramic container under the spout and a quarter of a paper towel in the grounds container and it really minimizes the cleaning. I am very happy with the appearance of the machine,...

So far so good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a Delonghi Eletta Explore in one house and bought the KF7 for a new house. I am quite happy with the KF7 which makes excellent coffee and cappuccino (haven't tried many others yet). I like the larger water reservoir that the KF7 has although it goes through water quickly with all the rinsing that it does. Mi...

Simple and Delicious
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been a great new addition to our home. We love how simple it is to make delicious lattes that taste as good or better than the chains! My wife has been having a lot of fun perfecting her barista skills. It is so simple to use and clean. We loved it so much we have one for our lake now too!

Worst coffee machine ever.
Coffee comes out watery and I purchase expensive beans. It does not make coffee it makes hot water. I regret purchasing.

Fancy Coffee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am happy with my purchase of the KF7. It turns out i'm not really a steamed milk type of person and more of a frothed milk type of person, and this coffee machine taught me that! It does make great coffee, but it cleans itself a lot, which i find a little tedious. I imagine it is better that way, but I have to dump t...

Easy and many features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from an entry level super automatic made by a competitor and this model has so many extra features that I’m surprised I went this long on the previous machine. Highly recommend this because it’s simple and makes a consistently good espresso.

The good, the bad and the ugly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using my new machine for about a month now. What I love, how easy this machine is! I bought it with the intention of cutting out coffee stands, and it does the trick, and it does it well. Now, What I wish for (could be improved upon): it could use a clock and timer so I could set the machine before bed and ha...

Great machine!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I absolutely love my KitchenAid Espresso Machine! It looks gorgeous on my counter, feels super sturdy, and most importantly—makes a really good espresso. The temperature stays consistent, which means no weirdly bitter or sour shots, and the steam wand is strong, so frothing milk for lattes is actually fun. It also heat...

So happy and satisfied with my purchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used my KF7 every day for the past 3.5 weeks and it is fantastic! I transitioned from a fully manual system to the super automatic and I'm not missing the grinding, filling, tamping, pulling the shot, frothing the milk. This does it all even better than my Bezzera! The crema on the espresso is thick and flavorful....

Best Super-Automatic to Date
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had three previous super-automatic machines from other makers. The KitchenAir KF7 is far better than any of those in design and ease of use. I recommend leaving the grind setting as delivered and body and strength on medium until at least 12-15 shots have been brewed before tinkering with them. After much initia...

Great machine, great coffee. Could be better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a great machine with a lot of thoughtful features and functions! I gave it four stars, because it's great but the lack of wifi to update the software inside makes it just one standalone with no hope for improvements over time.
What if we want to make more oz of coffee per drink? We're capped. It can never go up....
