Nice quality but didn’t work!
I bought it trusting the KitchenAid brand. The machine really looks high-quality, but it didn’t draw any water. I regretted it just two hours after purchasing. Since the service hours are only during the day, I couldn’t reach anyone for help. It was my first time trying KitchenAid, and unfortunately, it ended in disappointment.

Not that great
I had previously bought a machine that was a less than half the price that one broke on me and then I decided to spend a bit more money and thought well maybe it will last me a little longer but nope a year later it also broke. I've done all the troubleshooting and nothing seems to work. It sounds like its try to intake the water but it doesn't. after the year passed is when I found it that it had a two year warranty, right after it expired.

Low Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Espresso coffee maker doesn’t work. We like to receive a full refund. Details: Head gasket leaks, Steamer quits when only half done, Coffee puck is hard to remove from porta fiter because the espresso machine doesn’t provide enough pressure.

Poorly thought out expresso machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this expresso machine one mouth ago. The water doesn't get as hot as it should be. I make two double shots each morning. The first double shot the water is still on top of the grounds. I make the next double shot it has even a little more water on top of the grounds than the first and the puck, since we had this machine, I have to scoop out with a spoon. Never have I been able to pop the puck it out.

Amazing, intuitive beginner espresso machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was immediately impressed by how compact this machine is compared to other espresso machines! It took me about 30-minutes to set-up and figure out how it works, it’s super intuitive and fast to brew! Overall, the espresso tastes smooth and delicious. A few tips: tastes way better with fresh beans and a grinder. Milk frother works but is a little messy and hard to clean; I’ve found frothing milk on the side in my own frother works better.

Brand name you trust. Easy instructions with custo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was amazed and overwhelmed. I have never had something so fancy in my life. I am exited at all the possibilities of drinks and desserts we can make and use espresso in. KitchenAid has been a brand trusted worldwide for durability and performance. It was a breeze to assemble and make our first shot of espresso within 10 minutes. It shocked my husband and myself with how great it tasted. We will cherish this kitchen appliance for a long time as we are all coffee drinkers.

Be Your Own Barista!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] KitchenAid truly lives up to their name. I am truly over the moon for this espresso machine! It has surpassed all my expectations and needs! Making coffee at home has never been so satisfying. First off, the design is so simple and elegant. I love how easy it is to wipe clean before and after brewing an espresso. The initial setup was pretty simple and the instructions are seemingly straightforward. After a few minutes of reading the instructions, I was ready to began filling up my water reservoir (includes a handle) which was a bonus in my book. Next, I found my desired filter basket. (Refer to pg. 6 in manual) for basket selection chart. I used the single wall (2 shot) for my latte of choice. After following the rest of the instructions I was ready to brew. Positioning the portafilter is very easy but make sure to align it correctly with the unlock/lock mechanism. The entire brewing process only took about 30 seconds. The temperature was perfect and the taste was even better! This semi-automatic espresso machine is made remarkably well. It’s durable and has all the features I was looking for in an espresso maker. Overall, I’m very pleased with the craftsmanship of this machine and the overall design. It’s been fun recreating my favorite lattes at home! Reminder: when cleaning the milk frother make sure to point it towards the drip tray or into an empty cup. Otherwise, it will spray hot water everywhere!

High quality coffee maker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KitchenAid express coffee machine is a great coffee maker. It comes with many accessories like portafilter, scoop, tamper, steam wand, milk pitcher, water tank, four filter baskets and drip tray that you need to make delicious ground coffee. It also comes with a milk steamer. You can purchase additional KitchenAid attachments like a milk frother or grinder to make fresh ground coffee to take it to the next level. The machine is very durable and heavy. Great quality. The stainless steel machine looks absolutely amazing in the kitchen. It is very sleek and simple. The coffee mashine heats up fast and the milk steamer heats up the milk really hot. The coffee maker will save you a lot of money and it is convenient because you don't have to leave your house to get high quality coffee.

Perfect Espresso Everytime
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KitchenAid Semi-Automatic espresso machine in a metallic finish makes the perfect espresso drink everytime. Whether you prefer espresso straight, macchiatos, americanos, or lattes; this machine has you covered. Easy to clean with little effort required when wiping down the unit. Plus it has a built in float for when the drip tray becomes too full. Durability doesn’t appear to be a concern at this point in time, but only used it for about 2 weeks so far. Can’t wait to see what other great surprises this little machine has to offer.

From its sleek design to its exceptional performance, this machine has truly elevated my coffee experience. The build quality is outstanding, and it's evident that KitchenAid has put a lot of thought into both functionality and aesthetics. The semi-automatic feature strikes the perfect balance between control and convenience, allowing me to customize my espresso just the way I like it.

Perfect espresso machine for beginners
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this espresso machine! I found that it’s really helpful for beginners but also would be a good machine for someone who’s more experienced and making espresso. It’s very user-friendly and well-made. I love how it really quickly heats up water for the espresso and the milk froth or attachment is awesome for a delicious latte.

The best espresso machine on the market, especiall
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second espresso machine, and is 10x better than my last one. Easy to assemble and take apart to clean. Looks great in the kitchen, brews quick and delicious espresso, and I really love the steaming function. Easy to make a quick shot, a nice latte or even just a cup of hot water for tea. Highly recommend!
