Love it

I purchased this KF8 fw month ago and couldn't be any happier. The machine is pretty intuitive and easy to use. It works really well so far. Anything from Kitchen Aid is premium. I use the mixer, toaster and a blender from them. All are high quality products so that’s a comforting feeling knowing you are getting a product that will last and was well built. This is a great addition to my Kitchen. I haven’t had any issues so far but I’m not a coffee connoisseur. I enjoy using this and making my own espressos a couple times a day. It’s been fun and they taste great. Much better than coffee stand drinks!and Nespresso capsules.

Money and Time saving machine.

I debated whether or not to order this KitchenAid due to the price tag, but after almost a month, I am 100% a convert. There are several espresso drinks that I dearly love (lattes, mochas, and the Cordusio, but between working from home and my budget, they just weren't accessible for me. Enter this machine. I never thought about home espresso machines before because I didn't want to get into dealing with all the parts, the measuring, tamping, the cleaning and upkeep, so I had resigned myself to my daily tasteless Keurig coffee. But, this fully automatic espresso machine by Kitchen Aid is so easy to use. It literally does just about everything for you. First the color touchscreen guides you through every step of set up and maintenance. Once set up, you can select from several beverage presets and customize them to your preferences (most start at settings for a very small serving). You can create profiles and save them so you can one touch select the one you want. You can also make your own drinks, by processing the number of shots you want and separately steaming your milk. I've found with some tweaking, the default settings work fine for me, but if I have time, I like to make my own drink from scratch. I also like that the machine prompts you to run cleaning cycles on the milk hose and the cleaning cycles will run automatically on the system itself. I've been partying like it's Christmas with my Cordusio every morning and I am just in love. Like any product though, there are a couple things they could improve upon. The default setting for hot drinks is Medium, If you're used to coffee shop temperature, you'll need to change it to high. My only concern is the availability and cost of replacement parts or service when the time comes over the years. The large display is very convenient and the removable bin hopper is very smart. You can change the bean types in a flash. It is saving me money and time ever since I got it.
