KitchenAid KF7
Espresso machine · KitchenAid
The KF6 with a touchscreen, a milk container, a dual milk outlet and named profiles; the same espresso inside.
Best suited for
- Milk-drink households that want convenience without paying flagship money from our review
- milk drinks without learning to texture by hand — the steam wand is automatic from the specification
- a one-box counter — the grinder is built in from the specification
- press-button consistency over pulling shots — a bean-to-cup machine grinds, doses and brews itself from the specification
Consider another option if
- you want to learn to steam and pour by hand from the specification
- you want to pull shots by hand and control each variable yourself from the specification
Why: The KF6's espresso with a touchscreen, an included milk container, two milk drinks at once and named profiles; the reviewer who bought one rated it highly. The step up buys convenience, not a better shot.
