The KitchenAid KF4 brews delicious espresso and steams milk to perfection, but its iced drinks didn't live up to my expectations
KitchenAid's latest fully automatic espresso machine is more compact than its predecessors, but just as smart-looking and easy to use. It brews consistently great espresso and foams milk well (even plant milk, which it's not adapted for), but its 'iced' drinks are disappointing. Although they are brewed cooler than usual, they're still hot enough to melt ice, giving you a lukewarm, diluted drink.

- +Clear interface
