Great Features, Well Constructed
My semi-auto deLongie broke after 7years. The Kitchenaid KF6 is a well-thought-out machine. It makes excellent coffee. The foaming function does leave a little to be desired, but I bought it for the coffee, which is excellent. It took a couple of days to get it dialed in and the beans make a big difference in the taste. I like the way the screen shows the instructions for cleaning etc. but don’t toss the manual. After it finishes the cleaning function it goes back to step 1 and it’s very easy to start it up again instead of just exiting. This model is a good choice for those who like their coffee.

Good compromise of cost, quality, and ease of use.
Specialty coffee makers run the gambit of expense from hundred to a few thousands of dollars. I have owned the product for about 6 months and use it everyday. I makes good coffee and is very easy to use and clean. I like that I can keep my whole coffee beans in the hopper, but can add to the preground scoop for my wife’s decalf (without having to remove my beans). It is super easy to clean and add water. My only negative is that the coffee is not as hot as some people may want (but I can microwave as needed). Still for the cost, taste , ease of use, and comparatively low price point, I think this is a winner. It also looks good on the counter.

It is fairly easy to use and a great system
I very much like this machine. It makes wonderful drinks. The system is very easy to use and I had no problems setting up and using the system. If you are not looking to sit there with all the I wish the water container was larger. You can only use certain size cups under the drip so you wonât be able to use your normal coffee mug.

Nice machine for casual espresso fans looking for an easy, tasty drink
I am reviewing this from the laypersonâs point of view as I do not have a sophisticated palate for espresso. For me this machine provides three crucial things:1) Sleekness of design – looks great on the counter2) Ease of use & maintenance – drink menu is appealing and easy to navigate // machine does majority of self-maintenance and remainder is simple3) Drink quality – as mentioned I do not have a sophisticated espresso palate (I can tell when burnt/bad but the bar is pretty low), but the drinks here are flavorful. The fresh grind enhances the aroma profile and the milk-based drinks look pretty with the foam layers etc.Itâs a bit of a steep price point but definitely a nice indulgence if you are a casual coffee drinker like myself looking for an upgrade from the Keurig/Nespresso machine. Has a fun drink menu on how to make espresso martinis, etc. as well, which is fun to explore

Awesome but only for a week
Beautiful design and worked well but unfortunately it gave up on disposing the old coffee puck automatically after a week of use. Had to return as there is no Amazon option for a replacement.

Not happy.
Less than two months old and no longer working. Only making about 1/2 inch of coffee per cup. Hoping itâs an issue we can resolve quickly but seems too soon for even minor issues to be starting for the cost of this item.

Not sure why some complain.It’s a good looking unit, works great.The “not hot” yah, they will complain about everything.I do think it’s over priced at full retail so consider it when on sale.
