Works excellent so far!
The media could not be loaded. Taste of real coffee, espresso range depending on grinding coffee beans.
I forgot what real Espresso tasted like!
As a former Nespresso user, I got tired of spending so much money on pods, so I decided to switch back to making coffee myself. This machine is solidly built, with most of its major parts made of metal. I went for the stainless steel version, and it honestly looks like a much pricier piece of equipment.Using the machine is pretty straightforward. You just grind the coffee, load it into the machine, and you're basically set. You can fine-tune it for the size of the grounds and how much you want to fill the portafilter. It also comes with three extra filter baskets and a cup for steaming milk. The filter baskets fit neatly in a hidden drawer behind the tray at the bottom. The machine also has wheels, so it's easy to move around. It's big enough to be noticeable but not like you'd run a coffee shop with it. The only downside is that you can't adjust the temperature of the milk steamer for non-dairy milk. I bought a Nespresso Aeroccino3 Milk Frother for about $60 as a workaround. There are cheaper alternatives, but you can also upgrade the machine, though that costs a lot more. The upgrade includes a plant-based milk container and a digital touch screen, but I think it ruins the look of the machine.
Easy and professional espresso maker
The media could not be loaded. Kitchenaid outdid themselves with this machine! It is very simple to use even for beginners. It has a consistent pour as well as grinder that you can adjust depending on strength you like. Worth every dime! It performs perfectly!
Great machine that requires patience
I've been making my own espresso for 4 years now. This was an upgrade from my Gevi. What I am impressed with is the steam power! I haven constantly formed my milk 100% of the time. The grinder and machine as a whole is super quite, and the grinder produces supper fluffy grindsThings I dislike: the green color is barely noticeable. I can't seem to quote get the pressure up to the 9-11 ranged it makes it just below recommended pressure. The grinder doesn't seem to change the the amount of it being coarse or fine. It seems like ot stays the same. I just schedules an online meeting m, and I hope they can fox it. Great machine for beginners, and I recommend 100%
Yes you will have to fiddle a bit to get the best results
Before purchase many said you'd have to fiddle with the settings to get the best result. True. Took me about 8 expresso pulls to get close to where it needs to be. I do a double shot mocha each morning. In order to get the grind size small enough (to achieve the desired pressure on the gage) I had to max out the fine/course slider on fine AND do the additional adjustment described in the manual to get even finer. It's not hard to do the additional adjustment to the burr grinder just sort of annoying there isn't more headroom on the slider to the fine side to start.I have the commercial Kitchenaid range, dishwasher, pro 600 mixer, and some other stuff from them. This machine follows along their philosophy of a solidly built machine bordering on professional quality. Only had it a week so no long term review but pleased so far and at $800 it's a lot cheaper than the truly pro stuff.
