We love this thing! We got one but it was a dud (would turn on but no water uptake). There was no exchange process so we just had to return it and reorder. We got another one hopeful that it would live up to the reviews, and it worked, and it's great! We use it basically every day. It's sturdy and super easy to use (even for me who gets frustrated easily with new things). You just have to pack in the grounds and then start it by flipping the on switch and pressing the start button once it's preheated the water). All features on the 2nd one we purchased work great. We don't always use the steamer because it's a little less convenient than microwaving the milk and cream and the steam wand and caraf needs to be cleaned with each use, but it works really well and is totally worth it when we have the time. The flavor of streaming the milk and cream is great. We always use the double portafilter, and we tend to run the water thru twice to increase the amount of espresso produced without too much extra caffeine. The crema is excellent every time even with running it thru twice. The caraf seems to be about a cup so you can make enough to make 2 12oz? cups of espresso typically (e.g. mocha which takes about half cup of milk/cream). I love the solid metal construction on everything. I would recommend it!

Update. Kitchen Aid guided me through a quick reset. It took less than a minute. The coffee machine has been working perfectly since then. I am happy to give it 5 stars now. My original review is below: The problem appeared right on the celebration day of its one-year anniversary. I bought this espresso machine based on positive Amazon reviews and my long-time love for KitchenAid products — I own quite a few. I was happy with the machine until yesterday, when I marked its first year of use. While the machine still operates, whether I select a single or double shot, it now runs for only about one-third of the usual time and produces just one-third of the coffee it used to. I performed descaling, but it did not help. For comparison, I’ve had a Nespresso machine that has worked perfectly for six years — and it’s still going strong. I’m very disappointed.

SECOND, DEFECTIVE UNIT received! The first machine had a faulty steam wand and internal water leak. The replacement machine failed after the first use, exhibiting the following defects: Steamer instability: The steam function quickly reverted to sputtering hot water instead of consistent, dry steam, causing milk foam to collapse. After a couple of uses the machine entered a critical failure state with all indicator lights continuously blinking, requiring a complete power reset on the first day of operation. After 10 min reset, it worked, but I lost complete trust in its long-term reliability. Seeing consistent and serious internal component failures on two separate machines, I highly recommend against buying this machine now. -------------------------------- First machine review: It took me few days to understand it wasn't my fault of some sort. The coffee function itself is excellent, but: - Machine received was defective straight out of the box. - The steam wand failed entirely to produce stable foam; milk rose, but foam collapsed immediately (tested and found wet steam VS dry steam necessary to produce frothed milk). - During steaming, the machine exhibited a loud, struggling pump noise and a long delay before activation. - A internal leak was present: using the steamer just twice filled half of the drip tray with diverted water. - Conclusion: The core brewing feature (steaming) is broken due to a clear internal component failure. Requires immediate return, which is nuisance but will likely order another one as I do like overall design… - On a positive note, I like solid metal materials of the machine, the portafilter is heavy and feels good resembling good sturdy quality that lasts, there are 4 baskets for coffee 2 single and 2 double walled ones, with no rubber or plastic parts that wear out quickly on other machines. - From User experience perspective - the controls could be a bit larger or different - for someone older it is hard to see if you're on coffee, steam or water setting. Or whether you're on single or double shot. Very small indicators aren't friendly to those with poor vision. Especially when you have the small dot lights on they're tiny bit blinding! - the packaging is terrible if you have to re-package it to send it back! I am fairly detailed and usually would not have a problem with this task, but had to separately add this here as bad as it is.

FAST FACTS: PROS: Nicely made metal body, simple interface, flat portafilter, quiet, sleek CONS: Limited movement steam wand DETAILED REVIEW: Let me preface this review by stating that this is the 5th espresso machine I have owned and it's my second favorite. My favorite machine is the Breville Espresso Pro, which I use in my main house. This KitchenAid is in our vacation house. The KitchenAid is better than the DeLonghi, GE Profile, and Cafe espresso machines I've owned previously. The KitchenAid is very nicely made with a brushed metal body and has a robust and dense build quality. I paid extra for the metal finish, and I'm glad I did. The only slightly cheap feeling part is the water reservoir. The plastic feels a bit brittle. The machine is modestly sized and easily fits under my cabinets on the countertop. There is enough room under the cabinet to easily maneuver the pitcher when steaming milk. The KitchenAid is very simple to use with bright LED indicator lights and pleasant feeling push buttons. It is quick to heat up and get ready, and also fairly quick to produce steam. The machine is quiet in use. I used the included 2 cup non-pressurized filter basket. I placed 19 grams of freshly ground coffee beans inside. I appreciate the flat bottomed portafilter that makes it easy to tamp down the grounds right on my counter. The espresso came out in a smooth stream with the desired warm honey color. The crema was not as rich and thick as the Breville's, but was pleasant. Steaming the Califia Farms - Oat Barista Blend Oat Milk with the steam wand worked nicely and created a warm milk with a frothy texture. I wish the steam wand offered more range of movement, however. The espresso that the KitchenAid made was wonderful tasting with a rich flavor, and little acidity. The temperature was ideal. The overall experience is pleasant. All in all... a great machine.

I use this machine to make my morning double shot of espresso and I think it was a great purchase. It comes very well packaged and is a very high quality machine. Paired with a KitchenAid Empire Red Grinder, the two machines work very well together. I am getting a consistent grind and a consistent cup of espresso. The combo is easy to use and easy to keep clean. I am not a latte fan so I can't speak to that but all the parts for making milk drinks are included. This machine is well built and should last for years of daily use. IMHO, this machine is provides very consistent results if great daily espresso is the goal.

This is a very good espresso machine for what it is which is simple. It’s beautiful to look at, especially if you have other KitchenAid products to match it to. It works well, makes a good espresso drink and steams milk well and quickly. Someone told me the best machines grind and then brew espresso at the same time as steaming the milk and this does not do that.

I'm not an espresso expert and have never had an espresso machine. That being said, I love this machine! It's nice and heavy and looks to be very well built just like my KitchenAid stand mixer. It's simply awesome!!! It froths the milk nice and thick and fluffy, I ordered the milk frothing attachment from another website but it hasn't been delivered yet. I was looking at 4 different espresso machines and this one won and I really think I made the right choice, just like all KitchenAid products it's very nice and sturdy and works really well. It came well packaged as well. The coffee stamper is a nice metal as well which I noticed some other brands come with a cheap plastic one, it comes with extra things like two single wall cups and two double wall cups for one and two shots, other brands didn't have those extras, also a nice coffee scooper and a milk frothing cup.

We like our new coffee machine BUT the portafilter came cracked. It’s supposed to be a new machine so why is the portafilter broken? Please KitchenAid, send us a new portafilter that is actually new. This is disappointing as we love KitchenAid and have a few more of their machines. Also, we are a bit disappointed with the steam wand as it takes longer to heat the milk than our previous coffee machine and it also creates less foam. Not sure if there is something wrong with it. About the quality of the coffee, we love it!
