The KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine is excellent — and now I think all manual machines should feature flat-bottomed porta filters
Combining gorgeous design and perfect results, the KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine is a highly capable coffee maker that will appeal to anyone keen on a more hands-on approach to brewing delicious coffee. Its biggest selling point is its flat-bottomed porta filter, which makes tamping ground coffee an absolute breeze. The controls are easy to learn and master, and while determining the ideal grind and dosage amounts takes some trial and error, once you’ve settled on them, you’ll be rewarded with an excellent shot time after time.
