Can't get it to work
Similar to some of the other reviews here, I just simply can't get this machine to work. Every time I turn it on, it just makes a rumbling noise which stops after a few seconds and then it keeps going in that loop every time I press any of the buttons. I have tried resetting the machine by pressing down on the dose button for 3 seconds but that doesn't do anything either. It is simply frustrating. I can't return it as I received as a gift and don't want to bother the person that gifted it to me with all these issues.

I Like Espresso!
I enjoy the Espresso from my all metal KitchenAid Espresso machine! I am able to change the grind by using my KitchenAid Burr Grinder in order to give a different strength by the grind, that I use. I vary the coffee bean roast, and intensity, and at times, I use a flavored syrup to give a ‘variety of life’ to my day. When I was in Italy, the barista gave me a glare, until I put the sugar and cream into my espresso, as that is a local necessity.

Failed after 2.5 years of partial use on weekends. Device leaked everywhere and when I opened the machine up, wires were fully corroded. The machine cannot brew espresso grounds which were from the kitchen aid matching coffee grinder. Had to brew with drip grounds. I wouldn’t buy this again.

Disaster
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Altogether, I went through 4 (four) of these espresso machines. They are very unreliable. One broke down within a month. One did not work right from the start. Fortunately, I could still return them. And the third one was replenished by KitchenAid. I don't think I will trust this brand in the future.

Disappointed.
I am normally a big fan of Kitchen Aid, but this machine was a huge disappointment! Cheap, cheap, cheap!!!! The description states metal body…. That’s a joke! NOTHING like the quality that they are traditionally known for!!! It was a complete waste of money and now I’m stuck with it! 😭 I was very disappointed in Kitchen Aid!

A nice entry level espresso machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like it but I'm new to espresso so I could be drinking swill and not know it. Beens from the coffee isle weren't giving me any creme. I picked up some that were within a month of roasting from a coffee shop and bam... better flavor and creme. I do a 16g dose at setting 68 on the matching KitchenAid grinder. I like that the grinder is made to hold the portafilter. Downside is the "cup heating area" is about worthless and the machine may not be just a tad low on the water temp even at the highest setting... I'm using it about once a day and I'm happy with it. I use a dosing funnel that I 3D printed to prevent grounds from going everywhere while I'm using a WDT. I want to get a bottomless portafilter, puck screens, scale, and maybe a fancy tamper. None of that is needed to make espresso with this machine, but once you go down the rabbit hole of espresso add-ons finding your way into your brain.

Great Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is really wonderful, however I didn't know how much work it is and time consuming. I loved that it was a small foot print on my counter. I only rated it a 4 because of me not knowing the true operation of it. The product itself was amazing and the customer serves is always 100%. I only buy Kitchen Aid products and have them for many years!

A Nice Looking but Overpriced Machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes some pretty great espresso, but has one VERY annoying behavior. The "drip" tray is excessively small and when you steam/froth milk what have you, once you're done it runs a large amount of water through the heating element (I guess to cool it down). So, all this water is dumped at once into the tray, and if you froth up your creamer, it will fill and overflow the drip tray in short order. So you MUST immediately empty it. Very annoying, and potentially messy. The tray should have been 3X larger. It's an otherwise nice machine. Over priced but nice
