KitchenAid enters the fully-automated coffee making arena with not just one but three chic new bean-to-cup machines, along with a semi-auto model for those you prefer a bit more hands-on. For the record, the bean-to-cup grouping in the new KitchenAid Espresso Collection comprises the single-serve KF6, the twin-spout KF7 and the expensive but fully-specced bells-and-whistles KF8 model we’re reviewing here.
The KitchenAid KF8 is a great option for families since it features a wide range of coffee-making options, from ristretto to lungo to cappuccino and everything else in between. Plus it provides the wherewithal for family members to save their preferred coffee styles and recall them at the touch of a button. This machine is almost entirely hands-free bar emptying the water tray and confining the spent coffee ground pucks to the recycling bin.
