What Customers Are Saying
The KitchenAid semi-automatic espresso machine is a versatile product that can produce rich, creamy espresso with good crema.

A game changer!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always wanted one but never pulled the trigger and this was a blessing. Works flawlessly! Seems a little intimidating with so many functions and instructions but it’s really easy as you pick it up. Coffee comes out perfect every single time, coffee comes out extremely high quality. Doesn’t take too much space, easy to clean and maintain. I love this machine!

Great for newbies
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have truly enjoyed this espresso machine! It’s very beginner friendly and easy to maintain. I have purchased accessories to make my morning coffee an easy feat. I brew 2 shots and it pulls wonderfully. I run an extra shot to clean it out. I have yet to use the steaming function for a coffee but I have tested it out to see how it works. The group head is easy to clean. The porta filter is heavy which I like. It is a little loud while brewing a...

KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first ever try at an espresso machine and the Kitchen Aid Semi-Automatic makes it so easy to use and make your own coffee at home without having to spend money on coffee every day. It is a little noisy but it’s nothing too loud. The cleaning and maintenance of it is easy as well.

Beautiful and works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yes I got this for free but I’m going to be completely honest about it! I’ve had this for 3 weeks now so I can speak on quality and aesthetics, not longevity yet but I will update in the future if I have any issues! Okay so my husband is a self-proclaimed espresso aficionado (I, however, am the regular coffee connoisseur lol) so I was so excited to be able to make him a cup of espresso before work or during his night shifts. For me, this mach...

User friendly and delicious!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this espresso maker! I am new to making espresso without a machine that takes pods, and I feel like this was the most user friendly choice! It was extremely easy to learn and use, and makes my lattes just as good as getting it from a cafe. If you want to start getting into making your own coffee at home at a higher level, this is the machine for you!

Perfect size
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love coffee and this just took my morning coffees to a new level. I love how easy it is to work and the set up was a breeze. I love the different settings and options for my morning espressos. I also like how small it is.

An OK entry-level machine with some design flaws
Would Not RecommendThis is fine entry-level espresso machine. It does the basics OK, but I don't see myself keeping it for a long time because of the quality of espresso it produces and some design flaws. I also don't think it produces true espresso. Brewing espresso is easy enough, however, I'm always using the pressurized basket. The "Fresh coffee" basket always yields weak watery coffee with no crema (and I always use fresh grounds from the KitchenAid burr grinder, which is great!). I also almost always make a...

Great Semi-Auto Espresso Machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting to get an espresso machine for a while, but I was a bit intimidated by the entire process. It seems like it can be quite the rabbit hole, when it comes to making espresso at home. This machine took all the shenanigans out of it, and just lets me pull simple shots at home. Took me a few tries to get it right, but now I can make a decent latte at home in a few minutes.

Small but mighty!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set up. A little finicky to get the right setting - just like any other espresso machine. Brews a good cup of espresso!! Easy to clean. Slim and sleek design. Love this addition to my coffee area!

Durable, reliable and great taste.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KitchenAid semi-automatic expresso machine didn’t disappoint. Cleaning after use is easy and quick. It brewed my expresso timely. As with all KitchenAid products I have purchased in the past, the expresso machine is durable as well. I would recommend for anyone that enjoys a quick expresso or expresso drinks. It’s compact size takes a small of space on your counter.

Too loud and coffee is only ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had really high hopes for this machine because I love kitchen aid products and am actually in the market for a new espresso maker but at this price point I expected a bit more. The machine itself is very easy to set up and very intuitive. I’ve owned many espresso machines over the last decade and while I like this machine I think it is very loud and the milk frother is not great and takes a very long time to produce a decent milk foam unfortu...

Great but could be better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great espresso machine. The cups are deep, and the unit heats up instantly, which saves a couple minutes. The steam option is great and works well. I am looking forward to seeing how this model holds up after daily use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is a really great espresso machine! the directions tell you everything you need to know about how much ground coffee to use, and even gives recipes for each type of espresso drink! it’s just a little loud when brewing, but the sound doesn’t last too long. also takes a sec to learn, but once you know how you’ll be good to go!
