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

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.

Water leaking from tank straight out of the box

I bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas and straight out of the box it's already leaking from the water tank. Wish I had read reviews because apparently this is a known issue thats been going on for a while. It's ridiculous that they havent fixed this and are still selling this product with such a known issue. We tried putting an O-ring in the tube at the bottom of the water tank so hopefully that works, because since I bought this over a month ago for Christmas it is already past the refund window. Even if it works, I doubt i'll buy anything else KitchenAid in the future. Ive lost trust in them as a company.

Easy to use

This was a gift that gets used everyday. It is extremely easy to use. I use it primarily for lattes, but have made Americanos also.
