Wish I could return it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In one week I went through 4 bags, 3 different roast levels, less oily beans good for superautomatics, and every shot is sour. If I grind finer very little coffee is dispensed and it seems most of the shot ends up in the drip tray. This happens on the lowest 2 grind settings. There is standing dirty water at the top of...

Best choice we made.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We got the fully automated espresso machine about a month ago. Love the automated features that it offers for both brewing and self cleaning. Very convenient and easy to use.

Works great, very happy with my purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Kitchen Aid to replace my Delonghi coffee machine which I had for 5 years and was always a little disappointed with it. Very happy with the KF8 coffee machine. It was cheaper than the Delonghi and actually makes hot coffee. I would certainly recommend the KitchenAid KF8.

Great versatility and quality
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have had this machine for a month and I love the versatility it offers. Modifying volumes, coffee strength and mixes are fast and easy. I also find the machine is very quiet. A great choise in my opinion.

Makes a great coffee
Makes a great coffee, but uses a lot of water before and after its coffee making process.
For every coffee or two made, the machine purges itself around 1 cup of water. So it's pretty heavy on water consumption and obviously fills the waste trays quite quickly with waste water.
Apart from that, 2 months on it seems like a good machine that makes good coffee.

Great coffee, and so easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had a look at several coffee machines before settling on the Kitchen Aid, even though there were none on display in our town. Very pleased with it. It is simple to operate, quiet, with many features to explore. Pity the milk function does not double when making two cups together.

European Excellence
Bought two weeks and it has changed all my espresso and coffee habits. So many one touch features. Extra milk options. Self cleaning too! European Excellence! Way better than our Breville!

What a great choice we made
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had an Italian automatics coffee machine for 19 years but realised we needed to update to a new model. We looked at lots of different machines before deciding on the KitchenAid KR8. It’s just marvellous - lots of of coffee options and 6 profiles which is perfect for our family. Perfect crema, easy to use - honestl...

Effortless Coffee at the Touch of a Button
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased our coffee machine just over a month ago and couldn’t be happier. With a wide range of options and the convenience of one-touch functionality, making a delicious coffee has never been easier.

Delicious cup of coffee, cappuccino is a bit flat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works perfectly, makes an amazing cup of coffee and other drinks. Only downside is the frothed milk drink options aren't very foamy.

Great Purchas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month ago after comparing several espresso machines and settled for the KF8. I love, love this machine. It is everything I was looking for. Not only is it stylish and classy looking, its very easy to use. It is a little noisy but not extremely loud.

KitchenAid has a winner with the KF8
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've owned this machine for about a month now. We moved from an 11 year old Delonghi Gran Dama (still going strong). Definitely a step up in terms of capabilities even though the Gran Dama was top of the line at the time. This machine is very well thought out & easy to use. More importantly, it makes really good coffe...

BEWARE - YOU CANNOT RETURN FOR REFUND
My bad for not reading the return policy better, but you can't simply return this for a refund if you use it at all. Which is crazy, considering how would you know you'd want to return it if you don't try it first?
Milk drinks don't come out hot. And the latte setting doesn't have any foam at all. If you want to pay this money for a machine and have to either heat you...

Fantastic Machine!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We bought this a month ago and are so happy we did! It is the best coffee machine we have owned. It is so easy to make a great cup of coffee of any type we desire with its programmable features. We purchased one extra bean hopper so far to switch between regular and decaf. We also got an extra milk container so we ...

Best Super Automatic on the Market!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re on the fence about purchasing a super automatic and you’re considering the KF8, just do it! We couldn’t be more pleased with it. If you want a simple-to-operate machine that’s superbly built, then this is for you. The drinks are easy to dial in and they taste SO GOOD.
