I wasn't a big fan of coffee because I found it foggy and difficult to prepare. But with this coffee maker I can prepare high quality coffee like in famous coffee shops. It is very easy to use and clean I feel like a true coffee professional.

Easy to use for custom grind espressos
I love waking up to making coffee with this machine. It allows me to custom grind coffee beans for a perfect cup. It doesn’t take any time and it’s easy to clean. Using this machine daily has helped me save money by not getting my normal iced shaken espresso out. It also tastes better and most all other coffees out are not flavorful enough now that I can make mine custom at home. The water tank is very large and last for a long while even with 3 coffee drinkers using it multiple times a day. I did email the company because my package seems to be missing a couple of items that the box said it has but have not yet heard back. I am hopeful they’re just sending me the missing pieces.

Loved it!
The box is a little misleading. It showed a black one, but I received a silver one like I was expecting. I wish the machine cord was a little longer, it's really short. I love how it came with pretty much everything. I was so impressed with how it had 3 temperatures for the coffee. Also came with hot water options, that's a plus for sure. The expresso was just perfect, I felt like I was at a coffee shop.

My own coffee shop in the corner of my kitchen! ☕
WOW!! I never knew I NEEDED an espresso machine until receiving this! Not gonna lie, I was intimidated for the first few days trying this out. Thankfully it comes with easily understandable recipes and directions. The grinder has a dial that lets you adjust the grind, you then press a button that measures out 1 or 2 shots of espresso for you. You tamp it, lock the tamp onto the extractor and in about 10-30 seconds your espresso is made. It even has an ideal espresso manometer. The milk frother is amazing. I've been enjoying morning lattes and evening Americano drinks. This machine comes with a thorough instruction manual and even a recipe book! I love the noise it makes. There is also temperature control and a fast heating coil to make hot water and hot milk in seconds. It reminds me of my local coffee shop but toned down as it is a rather quiet machine. It's beautiful and fun to play around with. I'm enjoying dialing in the perfect shot!

Easy to use not set up
The machine itself is simple and easy to use. My biggest complaint is that the setup was not as simple as it appeared to be. I kept getting flashing lights and the buttons weren’t working. It took too much troubleshooting to fix. However, now that it’s up and running I am enjoying this machine as a new addition to my morning ritual. I used to make either French press coffee or with my bialetti but this is so much better. The machine does it all - from grinding to brewing to frothing. It’s great!

Amazing quality
I’ve made espresso, cappuccino, and lattes so far, and they all taste great once you figure out your grind size and tamp pressure. The steam wand is powerful and makes silky milk foam (still practicing latte art though!). The machine feels sturdy and high-quality, and I like that I can be a bit “hands-on” without it being overly complicated.

Quiet and delicious!
This machine is awesome! Quiet is an understatement. I can whip up a quick americano without fear of waking up anybody in the morning! It's also super user friendly. I am no barista but can pull a great shot out of this. I’m in love with it!!

A coffee shop taste without leaving home
At first, I was a little overwhelmed by the KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy to use. Once I got the hang of it, it consistently made amazing espresso every time. The built-in grinder is a game changer, and the results taste just like a coffee shop, without leaving home.
