KitchenAid KES6551 Semi Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder: Durable metal-clad construction
Ever dreamt of barista-level espresso without the fuss? The KitchenAid Semi Automatic Espresso Machine is your kitchen's new best friend. Built like a tank with its metal-clad body, this thing's ready to pump out perfect shots for years. And guess what? Its smart dosing tech means you're just a button press away from the ideal grind—whether you're flying solo or making it a duo.
But wait, there's more (because why stop at espresso?). That 58mm flat base and commercial-grade portafilter? They're not just fancy terms—they make tamping a breeze, locking in that rich crema and flavor like a pro. And for those milk-based masterpieces, the multi-angle steam wand bends to your will, finding the sweet spot in your milk pitcher every time. Plus, with fast-heating tech, you're not left staring at the machine, waiting for it to wake up. And when it's time for a little TLC, the "clean me" nudge keeps things running smoothly.
Oh, and it comes with all the goodies: a milk pitcher, portafilter, tamper, both single and double wall filters (because options are nice), a removable bean hopper with lid (for those who like to switch things up), water filter holder, water filter, and a brush (because cleanliness is next to godliness).

Semi Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder

Before this, I was using a basic machine that took forever to heat and never gave me that cafe-quality espresso I craved. Now, with this KitchenAid, my mornings have transformed—I can whip up a perfect shot in no time, and the milk frothing is so smooth it feels like I'm running my own little coffee shop. As a perfectionist, I appreciate how it handles the details, from the grind to the steam, making my daily routine a joy. It's not without its quirks, like the size and occasional finickiness, but overall, it's a huge upgrade that brings barista-level results right to my kitchen. My dog even seems to enjoy the smell of fresh coffee more now! I'd recommend it to anyone serious about their brew, though be ready for a bit of a learning curve and the space it takes up.
- Pros: At long last, I've got a machine that feels built to last with its solid metal body, and it heats up so quickly I'm not left waiting around. The grinder is a dream—just press a button and it gives me the perfect amount every time, whether I'm making one shot or two. Tamping is a breeze with the large flat base and professional-style handle, locking in that rich, creamy top and full flavor like a pro. The steam wand is fantastic; it moves easily to get the milk just right for lattes, and it comes with all the tools I need to keep things tidy and working smoothly.
- Cons: It could be a bit too bulky for my small kitchen counter, and while it's mostly easy to use, I sometimes wish the cleaning reminders were a bit clearer—I could be wrong, but it feels like it nags me more than necessary. The price is on the higher side, which might not be for everyone, and though it's generally reliable, I've had a moment or two where the grind wasn't as consistent as I'd like, but that might just be me being picky.
