KitchenAid® Nespresso with Aeroccino 3 Bundle

It is an extremely easy machine to work, it looks spectacular in my kitchen, as all KitchenAid does, the coffee is delicious, as all Nespresso is. It appears pretty easy to keep clean, which I have been told is really important for all Nespresso machines, but I'm truthfully unaware as yet. I've run water through it a couple times for the sake of "clearing the pipes", so we shall see. Efficient, beautiful, sturdy and very high quality. I feel spoiled having it in my kitchen!

Saw this at a Nespresso Boutique in Paris. Caught my eye right away above all the other machines. Big plus is that it is NOT plastic. It feels like a sturdy piece as you would expect from Kitchen Aid. I love that the water tank is not visible and neither is the container that holds the used pods. Great coffee and great espresso. Love the authentic look at the end of the brew with a nice foam cap. Perfect every time!!!!!!

Overall, the taste of the brew is fantastic! The nespresso machine brews a very good quality espresso. No complaints there! The looks and the design of the machine are very beautiful, solid, and in line with the KitchenAid brand. Sturdy and solid.

My only complaint is how noisy the machine is when if first starts up. It quiets down during the brewing process after about 15 seconds into the cycle. I understand the machine delivers 19 Bar of pressure but is seems to have a mechanical noise associated with the brewing process. Not like the swish of steam you hear with a espresso machine. It is really rather noisy and makes you think something is wrong with the machine.

Nespresso pods come in many flavors and types of coffee. I ordered 70 pods for approximately $56.00 ($0.70-$0.80 per pod). They offer free shipping if you order at least 200. In my home we drink plenty of coffee with teenage kids and my husband. I have been brewing a double shot for my latte as well. We tend to go through 7-10 pods per day easy. This tends to be expensive as you can see but it's still a savings over going out for a $4 latte every time.

For these reasons, I have not decided yet if I will keep the machine. Still deciding...

Once again, overall, it makes a good cup of espresso.

We like it. Machine is high quality, very substantial and so is the milk frother. Nespresso pods are so expensive that we're using generic ones from Delicitaly and they work well.

I love nespresso coffee so much I have three machines. This was the last one I purchased. I loved the design, I loved the heft and that handle... swoon. However, it is my least favorite. It's "messy". It drips water in the back when you are done using it. It is louder than the pixie and overall, it has been a disappointment. I expected a clean pour but there is a drip-drip after each use, which fills the reservoir "catch" so if you don't empty it daily it stinks up your kitchen. I would recommend saving your money for coffee pods and buying a Pixie. I would not recommend this machine to anyone. I gave it three stars because it's a beautiful machine, made well, and it makes great coffee. If I didn't have other machines to compare it to I would think this one was the bomb... but having others I know it's not the best machine, not by a long shot.

Love the look and operation.
Wish the pods were available in your stores.

I've had it for about 3 weeks now and really enjoy the fact that I can make myself an espresso or cappuccino with little to no mess....love trying all the different flavors of coffees....the aeroccino is so simple and easy to use as well, frothing made simple.

None better

Coffee maker very easy to use. Coffee turns out great. You are very limited in the amount of milk you can warm/foam with the Aeroccino however

Works great good expresso machine . Looks nice too

Let me preface this review by saying that I have had 3 different Nespresso machines over the past decade and drink Nespresso espresso nearly every day.
I recently received the KitchenAid Nespresso Espresso Maker as a gift. I was initially impressed by the build quality - it is a solid, good looking machine. That was, however, its only redeeming quality. The espresso made by this machine comes out much more quickly than any other machine that I have owned. Every shot that I pulled tasted burnt, dull, and foul. The crema was weak and dissolved almost instantly.
I contacted Nespresso to see if I may have gotten a dud. They gave me the contact info for KitchenAid Small appliance division. The associate decided to send me a replacement machine. After waiting without coffee for over 2 weeks, the replacement finally arrived. Unfortunately, the replacement was identical to the first machine. Disgusting, burnt espresso with little to no crema. It seems to have an issue with keeping the proper temperature.
I promptly sent back the replacement and returned the original to the store. I replaced it with a Breville Nespresso machine that makes wonderful coffee.
In all, I cannot warn you enough to stay away from this machine and pick pretty much any other. Even the cheapest Nespresso maker makes better coffee than this one.

Great product and great coffee! But I bought this with an understanding that there was a promotion of coffee credit and I never received the credit or an email about it
