Is This the SMARTEST Espresso Machine of 2024? Kitchen Aid KF8

[@tracygraham8052]

I just wanted and needed to say that when my mother was your age, she looked exactly like you. I was shocked but in a good way. BTW love your videos, and FINALLY someone who has product transparency. It’s very much appreciated.

[@CandidClara]

You remember your mother when she was 21? 😉 Goodness! 😆 Thank you for the comment though, it is much appreciated.

[@CandidClara]

I can’t tell you how lovely it is to read this, I’m just so pleased that people enjoy watching what I enjoy making. Thank you x

I bought the De’Longhi Rivelia and couldn’t be happier. Looked at both but the milk froth on the De’Longhi I think is better the coffee tastes the same as long as using fresh roasted beans and the De’Longhi has dual hopper plus nearly £1k cheaper than the kitchen aid!!! Can’t honestly see apart from a few more coffee drink options what you get with the kitchen aid personally!

[@CandidClara]

Thanks for the comment!

I love coffee but don't know my coffee types but the random 'Coffee' one is a bit weird, love it how they went from Italian to French with Cafe Au Lait. The last two I have never ever heard of so going for a google now. The machines a beast but I don't think I would want to take out a mortgage for the machine. Brilliant video as always, very professionally put together.

[@CandidClara]

Thanks @mangojellysolutions 😘

I bought the Sage Oracle Touch for a similar price when it was new on the market. A little bit more user input required but also a lot more control over the brew parameters. I have had it for about 3 years now and brew on average 2-3 cups a day, so roughly 2.700 cups so far, and if I had gone to Starbucks to get those cups I would have spent at least £8.000 by now so buying the machine ends up being cheaper in the long run. And I will stick with my Oracle Touch for as long as it will go but the KitchenAid is a nice looking and slick machine too. I don't think I would be happy with the lack of temperature control down to the degree though, or the lack of making a large drink in one go, but maybe that will be refined in the years to come?

[@CandidClara]

The coffe purists would say proper coffee drinkers don't drink big cups, but I think it's nonsense!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Well, what a machine! But phew what a price tag, I'd need to sit down and have a coffee just to recover. Great review as always. Now where's the Nescaff ...

I think the sage or breville impress systems are far superior. Especially the new touch coming out approx 2k to This kitchen aid should be compared with appliance manufacturers like ninja with their coffee machine for 550£ For 2k go for sage or breville Sub 750 ninja is probably the best one to go for

[@CandidClara]

I appreciate your insights! It’s always helpful to hear different perspectives, especially from someone who clearly knows their coffee equipment.

[@TheTazman]

@@CandidClara I'm not that well versed but I do watch plenty of coffee related vids. But I would love to see what you think of the new ninja coffee machine which is 550£ (in USA is 499$) This kitchen aid better brand than ninja and I think that's why they're asking for such a premium price Can't wait to see your triple air fryer vid though. Have been looking at the twin drawer ninja as the tower one doesn't seem as good and the big single drawer one is definitely not as good with the dual zones

[@jonathanirons231]

Nice video, but just a teeny bit curious as to why do you didn't make a coffee and test it. The B-roll looks like terrible milk foam, as to be expected from an automatic.

[@CandidClara]

If I was doing a series of coffee machine sit might be possible to test the same bean with each and compare the results, but with just one it's impossible to know how much of the end result is due to the machine and how much due to the bean 🤷

[@jonathanirons231]

@@CandidClara Fair point. Thanks!

[@fareehayasir-eo2im]

Is it good for my small cafe?

[@CandidClara]

Having never worked in a cafe let alone owned one I'm afraid I don't think I am qualified to answer

[@ta9891]

Hi, I have a question about the Ninja airfryers since I'm looking to buy one from Amazon. Do they come with a warranty, can you buy/extend it? Thank you.

[@CandidClara]

Yea, one year as standard. Two years if you register your purchase within 29 days . I have to say their customer service is excellent. If you buy from Amazon there is usually an option to purchase an extended third party warranty

[@SteadmanShorts]

Did you at any point actually taste the coffee this thing makes?

[@CandidClara]

I did, but tasting coffee proves nothing unless I use the same bag of beans to make coffee in multiple machines even then how do I measure it in a meaningful way? “This tastes nicer” is a bit wooly for me 🤷‍♀️

[@SteadmanShorts]

@@CandidClara thanks for the explanation. there are multiple reviews of this machine... I love the brand. however, most of the reviews are just so so on The taste and call me old school, but I don't care how convenient or simple the interface is that... if the coffee doesn't taste great, there's no way I'm going to put this kind of money down

[@CandidClara]

It was good but not noticeably different to our DeLonghi 🤷‍♀️

[@ERIN_198]

Does the taste not come down to the beans being used rather than the machine?

[@douglasthompson296]

No thanks. I'm not a coffee fan to fork out that kind of money. Wetherspoons unlimited refills will do for me Clara 😎 Cheers DougT pl

[@Scorpion-king-c8q]

The price on par with other automatics from jura or Miele. Although it feels high price but it pays for itself depending on on how many you make per day, I have breville touch for three years now but will get this one as wife won’t want to use breville touch as requires lot more work to make coffee, all automatic is easy to get coffee as you all over Europe no so much in USA. Kitchenaid has high quality appliances and cost is higher. I have sage on order.

[@CandidClara]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@gokhanj.yenigun7933]

Not worth the money

[@CandidClara]

Ok
