Super-automatic espresso machine KF3 KitchenAid

Compact, smart, and quiet, the KF3 KitchenAid Super Automatic Espresso Machine brings home the best barista-style coffee at the touch of a button. Perfect, creamy foam, rich and balanced coffees, hot or iced, without losing aroma or flavor, and bringing out the best in every bean during grinding and extraction. A coffee machine designed to let you enjoy your favorite drink without having to worry about anything else.

With its 15 recipes, hot and iced, you can make everything from a strong coffee to an iced espresso, or cold and creamy drinks, easily adjusting the strength, temperature, and size to suit your taste. Thanks to its smart, quiet grinding system, its intuitive interface and its barista-quality frothing system, even for two drinks at once, making a coffee, with or without milk, hot or iced, is incredibly easy and convenient. You’ll enjoy drinks with all their flavor, aroma, and creaminess, without having to worry about anything except choosing which one you want.

What sets the KF3 KitchenAid Super Automatic Espresso Machine apart

• Compact design. The KF3’s design is 25% more compact than previous models from the brand. It takes up less space in your kitchen without sacrificing the performance or features of an excellent, fully automated machine designed to preserve the ability to make rich, full-bodied coffees as well as a variety of drinks, while respecting the aroma and flavor of the bean.
• Iced coffee and iced espresso settings among its 15 preset recipe options, hot and iced. This setting prepares the drink at a lower temperature, protecting the flavor and preventing over-extraction. The coffee keeps its smoothness and balance as it cools, instead of turning bitter or watered down. To enjoy the best iced coffee, all you have to do is serve it over ice. If you prefer an iced latte, add frothed milk to your iced coffee as you like.
• 4 programmable user profiles. You can save your favorite coffees and have them ready to make at the touch of a button.
• Crema Guarantee system, which ensures the espresso always comes out consistently rich and velvety, topped with a golden crema.
• Quiet coffee machine. The machine features QuietGrind technology: a quiet grinding system. Thanks to advanced acoustic insulation and its smart design, noise and vibrations have been reduced to a minimum. It has Quiet Mark certification, distinguishing it as one of the quietest coffee machines in its category.
• Automatic grinder adjustment. IntelliGrind technology automatically adjusts the grinder according to the bean and roast, bringing out the best in every bean.
• Two separate hoppers, for ground coffee and coffee beans. This option is ideal if you want to try a different coffee, already ground, or even if you need to make a single decaf. The machine lets you make any drink you want from beans or, if you prefer, with pre-ground coffee. The ground coffee hopper holds enough for one drink, while the coffee bean hopper has a capacity of 250 g, allowing you to make up to 20 cups of espresso. 
• Easy-to-use 6 cm color LCD touchscreen. Very intuitive, and from which you can adjust each drink to your taste as easily as you can imagine.
• Customizable settings. You can customize the temperature, volume, and strength of each drink depending on how you want it at any moment.
• AutoMilk system, the automatic milk-steaming system, for perfect texture and barista-quality results.
• Automatic milk delivery system for two drinks. Allows the milk tube to be placed in a separate container to create a wide variety of personalized milk-based drinks.
• Automatic cleaning programs: when turning the machine on, when turning it off, and deep cleaning. The machine performs a quick rinse when switched on, which warms the internal motors and brew unit. This reaches the proper temperature and cleans the system so that the first sip is hot, rich, and balanced. When switched off, the machine rinses again automatically, removing any residue, grounds, or sediment that could affect the flavor. When a deeper clean is needed, the machine alerts you and guides you through the process.
• Durability, sustainability, and warranty. The KF3 has been designed to be a long-lasting coffee machine, with a much longer service life that supports more sustainable consumption, thanks to its 10-year repair guarantee. In addition, the conical grinder has an extended 3-year parts warranty.

Subtle and elegant, the KF3 KitchenAid super automatic espresso machine offers you a barista experience worthy of your favorite coffee machine, at the touch of a button. Hot or iced, with milk for two drinks at the same time or on its own, whole bean or ground, personalized or to your taste, choosing is as easy as pressing the screen.
