Ratings & Reviews for KitchenAid Semi automatic Espresso Machine with Drip Tray ( Black Matte )

Super easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is incredibly easy to use. It's just a matter of touching a few buttons and you have fresh brewed espresso! It's also really simple to clean, which I appreciate.

Broke during first cleaning cycle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine flashed the light saying it was ready to be cleaned. So I looked up how to do it and followed every instruction. By the time I was done it was really struggling to pull water in and within a few uses it wouldn’t pull in any water. Would not recommend this product at all.

No that good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a month ago and I imagined that I'd have a creamy coffee as Nespresso or other coffee machines. But the expresso comes out like a filtered coffee.

Pretty happy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty happy with machine. It's a Kitchen-Aid after all. I should have realized it....have trouble sometimes with frother, but it's me and not machine--have to hold it a certain way to make foam instead of warm milk for latte....I'm happy with it.

Solid machine, few things I'd change

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty solid espresso machine. It does what you expect it to do and it does so with Consistency. The steamer is LOUD, and takes QUITE a bit of time to warm the milk up to have a hot hot drink. Love that the water tank holds such a large quantity of water, but the steamer does leak into the drip tray with use, resulting in needing to empty the drip tray after each use. It has a large footprint, but is a very sleek addition to my ki...

Great quality machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Made my first homemade iced shaken espresso and it turned out great. Good instructions to help you make the perfect espresso

Very good machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this machine as a first experience with a home espresso machine. I am positively impressed with the functionality and ease of operation. I have used KitchenAid appliances for many years and have always appreciated the quality of the appliances.

Read the directions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m loving it, although the first days were a mess. Make sure you read the directions and you graduate the temp, the quantity… Coffee is great and really love using my machine. If you need a but, I wish the steamer were faster. Other than that, amazing purchase.

Good Machine For What It Is!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We replaced a full featured, much more expensive machine with this unit. It pulls a decent shot but it’s not very hot! The frother works well! It’s easy to set up, use and clean. The additional automatic frother is underwhelming. We were spoiled by our previous machine but for the price of this model, it is a good value.

Great espresso machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine works great. I was not ready to invest in an expensive professional grade espresso machine. I have several kitchen aid appliances and have been happy with the quality of the brand. After 6 weeks of daily use I am still happy with the purchase.

Espresso machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s like being in a cafe. Love it. My capaccino is perfect.

Makes a great cup of coffee

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and works great, and makes a great cup of coffee. Will see how it holds up over time. Only 1 month in as of now.

Great machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is easy to use and makes great cappuccino or espresso -- the milk foamer is great to have as well.

perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little machine doesn’t take up too much counter space but does everything I need it to. Super easy to use and I haven’t pulled a bad shot yet, couldn’t be better!

So easy to use and clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This expresso machine was so simple to use and clean and it also, makes a perfect mocha latte. Steaming the milk was easy and came out perfect every time!

So far so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using it for a few weeks. Tried out the Calphalon IQ before. I think the Calphalon maybe made *slightly* better milk foam (or was easier to figure out), but I'm also often quite lazy and just make americanos with a splash of cream and this works great for that. The 58mm portafilter is awesome and overall the machine is very easy to use, while staying compact. Not much to compare it to, but seems to be a normal amount of "loud." I als...

Delicious Coffee Shop Lattes @ Home

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was gifted this Espresso Maker by my husband, and what a great gift is has become. I use it almost daily; I’m also a tea drinker. It took me some practice to get the foam level right, but now I am a pro. I opted not to connect the frother because I like to keep things simple. This is a delicious step up from the Aerolatte I have been using for the past decade. Thank you Kitchenaid! ♥️☕️

The machine dose not work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a Christmas gift to my daughter and she was not happy!

Disappointed

I bought the Kitchen Aid Espresso Machine as I have Kitchen Aid appliances and the overall quality is quite good. My disappointment is the temperature even when set to the highest level the espresso is not warm. I tried leaving the machine on for an extended amount of time that did not change anything. I am also curious if this machine is actually 15 bars of pressure. When I picked up the porta-filter the weight was impressive along with the tapper, however, overall, the machine does not pull a ...

"Consistent Temperature " - cold

Get your straw ready and start drinking your espresso before the shot is done. By time you're done with your milk frother your Latte will be cold. Nowhere near "hot" even at the highest setting
