Become a barista with the novel semi-automatic coffee machine from KitchenAid
The semi-automatic KitchenAid machine, the KES6551, offers a more hands-on approach for the user. You have to measure and tamp down the grounds into the portafilter before the machine takes a serving. And if you’re taking milk, it’s steamed and frothed manually using a steam wand on the side of the machine before it’s added to your cup.
For ease of operate, the machine also features an integrated burr grinder, so you can grind and go. You can also choose between clever dosing or manual dosing. The clever dosing technology allows you to get the perfect amount of consistency for one or two espressos. Meanwhile, the manual function lets you choose the exact amount of grounds you need. If you fancy yourself as a barista, the KitchenAid KES6551 is available now ($699, KitchenAid).
Fully automatic KitchenAid machines do the challenging work for you

The three fully automatic coffee machines eliminate most of the manual steps needed to operate the above machine, but don’t remove them, giving you personalized options. Enjoy Espresso, American, Latte or Cappuccino – there are many recipes to choose from – the KF6 offers 15, the KF7 20 and the KF8 40+.
The machines also allow you to select and personalise your favourite drinks, which you can choose from an easy-to-use touchscreen. Unlike a semi-automatic model, the milk is heated and frothed automatically, without you having to worry about how much milk you’ve added. They also have a removable bean container, making it basic to replace or refill beans. As an added feature, the KF8 model has a plant milk mode, so you can enjoy almond, oat or soy in your drink. There’s also a pre-ground coffee chute bypass – skip what’s in the grinder and switch to something novel.
All four coffee makers are basic to immaculate and feature a “Spotless Me” notification—a reminder to maintain your machine to keep it running at its best. And with KitchenAid, you can be sure that these metal-bodied machines are built to last.
Serene! If you prefer your coffee in silence, the Espresso Collection has been certified by Serene Mark as one of the quietest machines, meaning you won’t disturb the whole family while your coffee is brewing.
The KitchenAid Espresso Collection includes: The KF6 ($999.99, KitchenAid), KF7 ($1,699.99, KitchenAid) and top-of-the-range KF8 ($1,999.99, KitchenAid) are all available at Home.
