Do not buy if you want out-of-the-box quality

After following all the unboxing instructions, I was immediately disappointed when I put the first tank of water onto the main unit - rapidly formed leaks from where the tube from the tank interfaces with the main unit. I could not leave the tank attached for more that two minutes before my countertop became wet. Some research on the Internet (and many of the reviews here on kitchenaid.com) indicate that I am not the only one to experience this. I'm happy for the folks who got a five-star unit out-of-the-box, but for the money, and for the KitchenAid brand, all units should be defect-free. I believe the gasket on the main unit "tube" receptacle is of the wrong size(?) for the tube from the tank, and that allows water to leak. I fixed it by stacking two 19mm OD, 13mm ID, 3mm width silicone o-rings onto the tube (see photo - maybe, I'm not sure I can add a photo) (o-ring sizes supplied if someone else needs to do this as well). After doing this, the unit has not leaked for 24 hours. But it should not have leaked at all. After my fix, the espresso machine makes good espresso. It works well, is rather quite, cleans up nicely, and looks very good. I have not used the steam wand. NOW I have the KitchenAid Espresso Machine that I thought I purchased.

Disappointed

This is my 3rd machine, the others were replaced due to mechanical breakdown issues. This one does not make a good espresso. My other brands and older machines worked much better.

Failed after a year

Worked great and made amazing coffee for just over a year. Now the power button blinks nonstop. I have had to stop using the grinder, it shoots coffee grinds everywhere. The drip tray is always full of fresh water, not sure where it is coming from. The pressure is low and the coffee is not great
High hopes

Great product with a severe flaw

We really enjoy the product and it is very natural and easy to use. The only thing we don't like about it is that the water tank often leaks. We have to partially fill the tank and fill it without removing tank from the unit.

Overall good machine, faulty water reservoir

I absolutely love this espresso machine. It is efficient and quiet and easy to use. The handbook has easy ways to help you figure out if you are over/under extracting the espresso. However I would have given it 5 stars, but I have had complications with the original order as well as with this machine. There is some issue with the water reservoir sealing to the machine. It doesn't seem to sit fully snug and there is a small leak each time I try and reset it into the machine. I have got it set now so it doesn't leak, however I will not remove the reservoir to prevent further leaking. I had already returned my original machine and the this replacement does the same thing.

Leaking everywhere

This espresso machine has been leaking water all over the counter ever since I got it. Kitchen aid product help is impossible to get ahold of last time I called it was a 10 hour wait. Do not recommend this product.

Great look!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design looks great on the counter — clean, modern, and solidly built. It’s also surprisingly easy to use. I'm not an experienced barista, but able to pull a good shot in a day. The controls are intuitive, the grinder settings are simple to adjust, and pulling a consistent shot doesn’t take much effort.

Quiet Grinder Shines, Steam Wand Issue Disappoints

I really enjoy this espresso machine. The grinder is impressively quiet—easily the quietest I’ve ever used—and that feature alone is worth five stars. That said, I did start noticing a small but constant drip from the steam wand within the first two months. It only happens when the pump is running, but it’s persistent enough to be concerning. I reached out to the small appliance support line and was placed on a 1.5‑hour hold. I opted for a callback, but unfortunately never received one. I still need to get in touch with support to resolve the issue.

Would give extra stars if possible ✨

After a month of nearly daily use, we're still in love with this thing. Easy to use, zero issues. Couldn't be happier! 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Exceptional machine

I am in love with this machine! Once you figure out the proper grinding setting, temperature and which cup to use for a perfect cup, it makes the best coffee! Instructions are a bit vague, they could be little more detailed for the ones like me that went from a traditional drip coffee makers to this state of the art.

Love it! It all works super well and looks great to boot. My only complaint, and it could be a user error, is I cannot figure out the steamer wand for the vegan milk for foam

Great Coffee Machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great coffee machine from KitchenAid. Solid build, easy to use, and makes consistently good coffee. The size is perfect — compact enough for the bench but still feels substantial and well made. Very happy with this purchase.

Horrible

Third machine I received that was defective. First one just stopped working, second one the grinder wasn’t working correctly and third is leaking. Currently in the process of trying to return it and the process has been so frustrating. I’ve been on the phone with many reps- some helpful, some not and the issue is still unresolved. I do not recommend an espresso machine from Kitchenaid. Better go with Breville or the other many options out there.
