KitchenAid Artisan Semi-Auto Espresso Machine Cast Iron Black

works well with the kitchenaid grinder

I really like this coffee maker. The only downsides are that it is noisy and the bottom plate vibates to the extent that the cup can move. However, it looks good and I like the coffee it makes so that's the main thing. I used to have a Delongi Dedica, which I think looked better but the coffee didn't taste as good.

I bought this to replace my 20 bar machine this one is 15 bar because it has more functions. It is a handsome coffee machine and reasonable crema but I would not have paid £450 it was a deal at £175. There is a book of instructions but most in other languages….not even a diagram to show individual dials etc. also it is noisy. Overall I am fairly happy with it.

Cast iron black artisan. Only used once so far but after filling the water tank out of the machine, there was a small tempory leak of water when fitting, no leak after. Probably better to fill while tank in machine? I made an espresso (double shot) and then steamed milk for a capuchino, no problem. I always add sugar or syrup to any coffee so can't comment on quality, but I'm happy with the taste. The machine does drip a little after brewing but not excessively and the drip tray tend to fill quite quickly due to the cleaning cycle? Main problem though seems to be if using a very large cup, you would normally remove the drip tray but if you do a lot of water appears under the machine. So I assume the tray was never designed for removal to fit a larger cup... like other machines can do. Still happy enough to keep it for what I want. Also good accessories... worth the extra star.

Enjoying my morning coffee. So easy to use along with my Frigidaire burr grinder. Great pair
