Does everything we wanted it to!
This is a coffee system, not a machine. It does any kind of coffee drink you would want and asks how you want it (personalized by User). The menu settings are very intuitive and it's much quieter than a competitor model a friend has. Very compact size as well. Zero complaints!

We're excited every morning!
We are in love this espresso machine! There's a lot going on so it takes a few tries to get it exactly how you want it but when you do I love that you can save your settings. My only complaint would be that this model doesn't have a removable hopper. I didn't think about how we like decaf at night & can't switch the beans out. Other models do have hoppers that come out easily so I wish I had thought it through better. Beyond that, we love everything.

High quality espresso and user friendly!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super impressed with this machine. Although I was excited about the machine , it took me a while to open the box and set it up because I was feeling intimidated. However, when I finally turned it on-the screen prompted me to what I needed to do and it was so easy! I love that I didn’t have to read the full instruction manual to make a cup of coffee. Don’t be intimidated by this machine, it’s so easy to use! You can set up your profile and save your preffered drink so that you don’t have to go into settings each time. For example you can select what kind of coffee drink you’d like , the ounces of liquid and the strength. I chose an iced coffee with about 4 ounces of espresso and medium strength and poured it over some ice,milk and honey. When I was done I was like oh no how do I do the rinse cycle now? As soon as I went to turn the machine off it automatically does it for you. The last thing I will say is I love that it has a water filter so that you’re getting the best quality drink!

Best thing ever! Bye Starbucks!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been the absolute best thing ever. I’ve saved so much in money from being my own barista. The design is sleek, modern, and perfect for my kitchen. The sizing isn’t as big as I thought’d it be and fits snuggly into my counter. The container form milk is decent sized, it’s pretty straightforward to clean and maintain. This utterly gagged me with how good it is!

Amazing Coffee Machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never had a machine like this so I was excited to start using it. It works with both coffee grounds and coffee beans (I tried both) but I prefer using coffee beans. The touchscreen is pretty intuitive so there is a limited learning curve. My favorite feature is that you can customize your drink (ie strength, size, etc.) and save the personalized drink settings for multiple individuals for future use. I love the espresso and iced coffee while my husband likes an americano. An added bonus is the automated machine cleaning and maintenance reminders - all you have to do is clean the drip tray underneath the machine. I don’t know how the noise compares to other machines but it’s relatively quiet except when it’s cleaning itself. Overall, I have really enjoyed this and think it is well worth the price if you’re a big coffee drinker. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

My FAVORITE!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this KitchenAid Automatic Espresso machine to try and review. As a coffee aficionado, this is my FAVORITE! It’s super easy to use and clean. The setup was standard and the coffee tastes amazing! I picked a black matte color because it goes with my kitchen. It has many different features and a number of different espressos for you to make! One thousand percent recommended!!

Good for an Automatic!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am giving this a 4 out of 5 for being good at what it is. Personally, for me if I were to choose an espresso machine, it would not have been fully automatic. I like to pull my espresso and steam my milk! But, this is fun and easy to use. I love that it does a rinse pretty regularly. It makes a beautiful espresso crema. It is pretty compact as well, but for my small apartment, it does take quite a bit of counter real-estate. I wish it would tell me when I am low on beans. I've definitely wasted some coffee by hearing it start to grind and then run out and not grinding anything. When I made lattes and coffee, it left more ounces of milk and coffee to be desired. I like a full 8 oz. It gave me 4 ounces max. Overall, I think this is a good product for what it is. But, I personally would go for a less automatic machine where I can fully customize my drink.

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is truly fully automatic and very easy to use. When I read the manual, I was a little intimidated, but the machine actually walks you through set up when you turn it on, which was very helpful. I have really enjoyed making an array of espresso drinks, like lattes, iced lattes, and straight espresso. What a treat to have at home every day! I received this espresso machine free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Wonderful Quick Coffee Prep Machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fully automatic Espresso Machine is a wonderful addition to our kitchen in exchange for my honest review. As a coffee snob, I have always been hesitant to try a fully automatic machine. It always seems like you have to compromise on something with an automatic machine…not with this! The machine cleans oneself, alerts you when the tamped coffee pucks need emptying, is easy to clean, allows you to use your favorite beans, allows customization of many different drinks, and has the option to make drinks with milk. My husband can make his black coffee or Americano. I can have my espresso, lattes, or cappuccinos. I have NOT used milk-products frothed with this machine because I don’t have the proper storage container for the connecting device. Fill the filtered water container once a week. This will be something I purchase in the future to make it fully hands off. The machine really is as simple as turn it on, choose your drink, and enjoy!!!

Perfect coffee machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so awesome! I just got this a week ago and it’s so much better than i expected. Nice coffee machine, light weight with mordern design. It’s not too big and can fit in a small kitchen area and the most important thing that will save us a lot of money on buying out. It works exactly what I want and make a good coffee! I absolutely love it! Highly recommended for coffee lovers!

Easy to use, makes delicious café-quality coffee,
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this espresso machine daily and honestly I’m really impressed. The coffee tastes rich and smooth, and it’s super convenient that everything is fully automatic. I love how easy it is to customize drinks and make lattes at home without any hassle. The milk system works great, cleanup is simple, and the design looks beautiful in the kitchen. It feels high quality and makes morning so much easier. Definitely worth it if you want cafe style coffee at home

So useful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I genuinely did not expect to love this machine as much as I do. The KF3 makes coffee shop quality drinks with basically no effort, and everything tastes incredibly smooth and fresh. The touchscreen is super easy to use, the machine looks gorgeous on the counter, and it feels very high-end without being complicated. I’ve used a lot of espresso machines before and this is by far the most convenient while still making amazing espresso. The milk frothing is great, the grinder is quiet compared to others I’ve tried, and cleanup is surprisingly simple. If you drink coffee every day, this thing is absolutely worth it.

Life changing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been trying to find something like this for 5+ years. Never would’ve thought of a kitchenaid one though. I’m an avid iced espresso lover and go to Dunkin usually until we moved. I’m so happy to report the espresso shots taste amazing and give you the boost of caffeine like the coffee shops. A bonus if that it makes coffee too, so my husband is in love with it as well! He’s so happy we have it. It has several other options as well. The ease of use is really helpful too, as long as you remember to leave a cup under it as it cleans before and every use! I’m so happy with this product.

Easy to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this expresso machine and it honestly feels like if I have a coffee shop in my kitchen. I love this product every morning I can make my expresso, lattes or even ice coffee with just one touch!!!!

Simple versatility
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The slim design made this fully automatic espresso machine easily fit into my kitchen. Set up was a breeze. Starting with the unboxing, the product itself is wrapped in a bag like fabric that makes it easier to remove from the box. Set up was also simple; as easy as plugging it in and getting started. Not only does the machine itself give you step-by-step instructions and an introduction, there is a booklet included, as well as a QR code that you can scan to learn more. I am definitely not a coffee snob by any means, but this was super fun and easy to learn to use. I love the ease of the machine to select your coffee beverage of choice. The machine is also self cleaning, which is great. Once you determine your favorite drink(s), you can save them for easy, quick brewing. You are able to customize just about everything from the size of the ground coffee, to the temperature, to the amount of espresso, etc. You can use ground coffee or whole beans. The versatility is great, and you will definitely be able to make the perfect coffee beverage for each guest and occasion. The large water reservoir also makes it so that you will not need to refill during an occasion.

Great for coffee lovers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I am pleased with the machine and also a copy that comes of it. There’s a bit of a learning curve with the cappuccinos or café lattes that I did not expect. The machine itself is easy to use and pretty straightforward but for some reason, I was not able to get it to produce well when I added the milk element. What I do like is that the grains get separated into their own bucket and it’s very easy to clean. The machine itself looks very durable and well quality. It is heavy, but it’s not like you’ll be moving it. I will say it is significantly bigger than other brands. Instant coffee machine machines. And does take up a little bit more counter space as it is long . It does make noise, but not anything crazy. Overall, we are pleased with copy that comes out of this, and I’m excited to continue to learn how to personalize it to my taste. I’m excited about the milk steamer. The touchscreen is it an elevated experience and I love that there’s pictures of each type of coffee to really get you in the mood for what you want.

The do it all and do it great machine!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing coffee machine! Kitchenaid hits again with this one. Coffee quality is great and customizable. Want a bigger coffee? More milk? Stronger? Weaker? Espresso? Americano? Lattes? I thought the milk part would have been harder to use but it’s extremely easy. Cleaning is also incredibly easy and efficient, the drip tray is huge so the machine can make multiple cleaning sessions per day and some even when you’re not around. The coffee disposal tray is large too. The machine is fairly large which in my opinion is great because it means a larger reservoir, but also makes it feel so much more luxe. Oh and there’s options for ground coffee or whole bean which is great because it saves me money from having to buy the pods from other brands makers.
