Iâve been loving the KitchenAid KF8. The coffee quality is excellent, the machine is quiet, easy to maintain, and it looks fantastic on my countertop. It has quickly become one of my favorite appliances.
I also want to give a shoutout to LâHeureux for the outstanding service. The delivery to Toronto was incredibly fast, much quicker than I expected.
There are a few software/navigation improvements Iâd love to see in a future update, but theyâre all relatively minor. For example, it would be great to filter the drink menu to show only black coffee drinks or only milk-based drinks. Some drink images could also better represent the actual beverage size, for instance, the Cortado appears as large as other milk drinks even though itâs much smaller. Finally, Iâd love the ability to reorder the drinks so they would look more organized in the list.
Overall, these are small usability suggestions and donât take away from what is an excellent machine. If youâre looking for a premium bean-to-cup espresso machine, I highly recommend this one.
