Great coffee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KF8 was the perfect machine for our family. The quiet grinding is incredible and provides the lack of waking up we wanted when the other one of us is asleep. The only issue I have is the coffee is on the smaller side but this is easily rectified by playing with the settings or making a double. A truly incredible machine.

Easy to use - fab coffee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought my machine in the Black Friday sales and am so happy. I am not very tech savvy but this machine guides you through every process. It is such a beautiful design it looks amazing on the bench and most importantly makes amazing coffee. It cleans itself prompting you in easy steps. I would highly recommend. It is high quality, solid and offers so many drink options. Brilliant

Happy Purchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this device almost a year ago. My spouse and I have used it A LOT. The only problem I have encountered so far is when I used a certain kind of coffee bean that was more oily than others. That particular type of coffee bean would stick to the hopper, and I'd manually have to push it down from time to time. Once I switched to a less oily type of coffee bean, it worked as intended. KitchenAid could implement a different kind of hopper that made better use of gravity, but it's not that big of a deal. Additionally, I will say that I am quite happy with the frothing capability of plant milks. Soy milk does not froth too well, but almond milk has been an excellent low calorie, low carb plant milk to use with this machine. I will say that the price made me hesitant to purchase (it could be priced a little bit less considering all the plastic materials), but overall it has held up exceptionally well and has provided my household with high quality coffee beverages with little to no skill on my part. Overall, I would recommend this product to any coffee lover (that can afford the upfront cost) who wants coffeehouse quality in the convenience of their kitchen.

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.

We’re absolutely thrilled to hear it’s making such great coffee for you, enjoy every single sip! ☕✨ Those little cleaning cycles are all about keeping each brew as fresh and delicious as possible. Here’s to many more joyful coffee moments ahead!

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.

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 - honestly we couldn’t be happier !

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. As with any coffee appliance, there’s a bit of maintenance involved — such as replacing the filter, deep cleaning, and regular rinsing or dispensing — but fortunately, most of these tasks can also be done with the press of a button. Overall, we’re very satisfied with our purchase and would definitely recommend it to others.

KF 8 Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had or returned several coffee/espresso makers over many months and years before purchasing the KitchenAidKF8. It is simply the best machine you can possibly buy. Specifically, it makes great coffee, Preso drinks, and the other specialty drinks along with making excellent froth milk. The most important thing as well to consider is that this machine is super easy to clean and the brew group can come out periodically for a thorough cleaning unlike other machines available on the market.

Really great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it! Had it about a month. Haven’t explored all the options (one can only drink so much coffee per day), but looking forward to exploring the choices. One of the first drinks I made for my wife, an espresso martini, was a huge hit!

Disappointing Frother
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KF8 was bought as an addition to the De’Longhi Eletta we have to end the debate over decaf coffee or regular coffee. The Eletta always produces perfect milk drinks with a domed froth top. The KF8, however , falls flat with a thin bubbled layer on top of the milk. The menu design on the touch screen is impressive. I just wish Kitchen Aid could give us more froth.

Excellent espresso! Annoying frothing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall it makes a nice espresso, it’s quiet and clean, but the milk frothing leaves a lot to be desired and I would not pay the high price for what you get— A room temp latte that needs to be microwaved. However I cannot go back to my pod system because I now realize that tastes like garbage so I’m making the best of heating my milk myself. Pros: excellent espresso, brews quietly, cleans itself, beautiful display Cons: does not get milk drinks hot enough (120-140F)- barely warm and cools off quickly, it takes a lot of steps to clean the milk hose (wish it was just a traditional frothing wand which is easier to clean), you can only do 6.3oz of milk frothing max however the actual amount of milk it dispenses is about 4 oz of milk so it only makes small lattes.

I would give 5 stars if they can fix this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving the machine but the two con I have with the system is the milk temperature and internet connectivity. The milk system is not hot at all. It's luke warm. I have to put it in the microwave to warm it up. Also, other newer machine can connect online to do an update. If the system can be updated over the air with they're drink programming would be a huge plus.
