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

Compact Convenience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can't go wrong with this compact KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine for convenience. Exceptional buy for the quality! Pros The control panel is easy to maneuver and understand. KitchenAid is the first to feature dual smart temperature sensors, called thermocoil for quick heating. The 45 seconds is amazing for people like me that are always in a hurry. The machine leaves a smaller footprint compared to others. I like the built-i...

If you want to up your coffee game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the “convenience” machines for years, I was ready to up my coffee game and got this espresso machine. A bit of a rocky start but I absolutely love this espresso machine after all is said and done. It takes a bit of practice to get the grind right and the tamping pressure correct but with a few practice rounds I was making the best of the best cups of barista style coffee drinks. This machine is sleek and doesn’t take up too much ro...

great bang for the size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was worried that such a small machine wouldn't get enough pressure to pull a good shot but I was wrong. I also have the grinder and love the feature of being able to grid right into the portafilter. lovely little machine :)

Expresso Genius

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the coffee gadget to have if you are a coffee fanatic like me! Very simple to set up. Doesn’t take up too much room on the counter. Very easy to understand instruction booklet so set up and usage was a breeze! I have enjoyed making a few fancy espresso drinks since getting this a week ago! The milk frothed was a little tricky for me at first, but after a small amount of practice I’ve got it down now. Would highly recommend this machine ...

Excellent eEspresso Machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am an espresso/cappuccino lover. After years of using a machine with capsules I decided it was time to stop producing so much garbage with the capsules. This Kitchen Aid Semi Automatic Espresso machine is absolutely great. It feels and looks very professional. The most important fact however is, that the espresso tastes excellent, is hot and has a thick crema on top. This machine delivers on these facts. It is pretty easy to use- I do however...

Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this! It’s sooo easy to use. Set up was a breeze and everything I had questions about were answered in the instruction manual. There’s actually some Facebook groups to help you out as well. The sound isn’t that loud. I have an espresso machine that takes pods and it’s a lot louder than this one. While this one takes a bit longer to use than the pod expresso machine… it makes the espresso so much better tasting.

Amazing addition to the kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kitchen Aid Semi-Automatic Espresso machine looks intimidating when taken out of the box. I was amazed at how easy it was to make great tasting espresso drinks right from my kitchen. The instructions were easy to understand and I had espresso going in no time. The machine comes with everything but the coffee to get started right away. The machine has multiple options for one or two shots of espresso to be brewed at a time. The machine do...

Love it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had no idea that this product was exactly what I needed in my life. I feel like a fancy barista whipping up espresso drinks for my family. At first I was intimidated by the number of parts, but once you go through the directions, it's fairly self explanatory. This machine makes tasty drinks, with a number of customizations.

Best Espresso Machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am overjoyed with this machine. It's so easy to use and it's made my morning coffee so much more enjoyable. It's heavy-duty and doesn't take up my room on my countertop. Both very important features to me. I found it easy to use and more importantly, it is super easy to clean. The attached milk frother was an unexpected bonus that I've come to really appreciate. I've already recommended this to my coffee-loving friends.

Great Machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I got this about a month ago. She LOVES coffee so what better than an espresso machine! The setup was surprisingly easy, the directions are clear, and it’s super easy to use. I think my favorite feature is the milk steamer. This adds that creamy texture that you get from a coffee shop, but I could never get at home…..until now. Highly recommend.

Barista at home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is perfect! It is compact and easy to use! It has really improved our coffee -at- home experience. I love all of the tools that it came with and that the machine has a tray at the top to set them and keep everything together when not in use.

Espresso made easily

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really enjoying this KitchenAid Espresso maker. It's so easy to make a good espresso once you've set everything up. Use the included scoop as a measure, dump it into the holder, use the tamper to flatten, and then twist it into the machine. One button press and you have espresso on it's way! Cleaning is super easy. I take the holder and soak it in some water. That's it. I do need to wipe down the tray as well, but only about once a week....

Wow just wow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have another machine that has been tossed thanks to this one. I am in love with this baby and have been using it ever single day without failure. I look forward to mornings just to have some. It’s fast, the quality of it is amazing and the quality of the product it produces is inevitably incomparable

Quality built machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I notice after unboxing this espresso machine was the heavy duty build quality and attention to detail. The quality of this machine is superb. It has a very attractive design and looks great in our kitchen. What I like most about this espresso machine is its small compact form factor. It fits under my cabinets without me having to slide it forward to refill the water reservoir. The warming tray on top works very good. This...

Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in an apartment with not too much counter space. This is perfect for my kitchen. It was relatively easy to use. I've tried other machines and this was easier to use. I also have the attachable milk frother and I like it. I've made lots of delicious lattes. It takes a little practice, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly. If you want or need a more compact espresso machine, this will be great for you!

Fabulous

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family has been so impressed with the KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine. The machine comes with several cups to make multiple drinks simultaneously. When you fill the cup with your choice of coffee, you pick it down and it slides easily into the machine wand. The drinks come out so quickly and so hot. We have mastered some of our favorite lattes and espresso drinks. It’s easy to clean and not super loud. It has a wand to froth the m...

Coffee shop right at my house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this machine. It makes a great espresso, it’s easy to use. The steamer that comes with the espresso machine is amazing… it steamed up my milk and made it hot in 15 seconds. If you are a coffee fanatic and don’t want to go to the expensive coffee shops then you need this in your life. I love that it has the cup warmer on top. My only complaint is that it’s kinda loud, it sounds like an airplane is taking off in my kitchen when I turn ...

Beautiful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t think there is a small kitchen appliance I am more in love with! It’s super simple to set up, so no need for anything fancy, just a little counter space, plug in, add water, coffee and go! The coffee comes out so good, it reminds me of the little Cuban coffee in Miami! It’s such a beautiful addition to my kitchen ad well, I feel like a complete barista!

Great machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the best Espresso Machines I have ever used.Don’t even have to stop by the gas station to get one can make it from my own kitchen I will definitely recommend this to family and friends.you never know how good it is until you make it yourself

Great Expresso drinks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are a newbie to espresso and a huge coffee lover, this is a great machine to use. Reading the manual and figure the machines was self-instructive. The top left button setting choice of expresso, steam, and hot water. And, if you also hold the button down for a few seconds, it gives you 3 choices of temperature mode. The second button have choice single or double shots. The third button is self cleaning. The fourth button is start...
