Review: Very good espresso machine - 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good espresso machine
*by S***A on December 30, 2025*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent coffee, I use daily...
*by D***H on January 4, 2026*

Makes eexcellent espresso. Heats up quickly. Relatively compact. High quality portafilter.

### ⭐ 2 Defective out of the box machines as I tried to exchange it! DO NOT BUY!
*by V***Y on December 4, 2025*

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.
