The KitchenAid KF3 brews a mean espresso time after time and looks great doing it, but iced-coffee drinkers should tread with caution
The KitchenAid KF3 is an excellent fully automatic espresso machine that will suit smaller kitchens in particular. It’s a compact machine that looks and feels very much a premium product. It’s refreshingly simple to operate and it brews a well-extracted espresso, although I found the milk-foaming system a tad underwhelming. It doesn’t cater to iced drinks as well as some other espresso machines, which could put off some potential customers, but for a fuss-free and relatively affordable espresso machine that looks the part, it’s superb.
Pros
- +Excellent espresso every time
- +Attractive, compact design
- +Easy to master
- +Great maintenance options
Cons
- -Iced coffee brews at a lower temperature, but still melts ice
- -Lots of rinsing cycles empties the water tank quickly with regular use
