KitchenAid Are Mixing Things Up... KF8 Fully Automatic Coffee Machine

[@abombcraftbeer]

That looks amazing. The screen and all the settings seem to make it easy while giving lots of options.

[@cherrylloyd624]

This is a great video, very informative and covers everything I want to know and in plain language I can understand. I like the look of this machine and it probably does more things than I need but I love that you can program it for 6 users so perfect for regular visitors or family members that come by. At first I thought it would be too big for my kitchen but then you explained that it does hot water for tea so I can dispense with my kettle this freeing up worktop area. I would love one of these coffee machines, I couldn’t afford one right now but I really enjoyed your review and learning about it - thank you.

[@andrewscott4712]

Great review. All the facts and opinions delivered in a clear and concise manner. It is a lot of money.

[@zerodoesgames5068]

Great little machine

Wow this looks really good!

Excellent review Kev

[@kellyturner6584]

This looks great ❤

[@amybondoc1668]

There are some great present ideas in this blog post

[@DamienKempt]

Great review. It seems from it that machine has a lot of functions but is easy to use

[@chrismuk99]

Very clear review

[@dominicbramley7827]

Looks interesting.... At this price point I think it definitely needs some discussion on how it compares to the Jura machines. Try and beg, borrow or steal a J8 or Z10 - would be keen to hear your thoughts!

[@Malwinail]

Great review as always 😊

[@sheenabatey3346]

Great review thank you

[@traceybagwell5479]

Nice looking coffee machine

[@adamtitch]

I like the idea of an automated machine, but do enjoy the manual process

[@richardwood1199]

Nice review. 👍

[@puppybreathwales]

Nice bit of kit

[@tinaslawson5699]

Ok I was going to buy this but was waiting for your review so honest opinion this or elletta explore I had the oracle touch borek twice after 13 months not made to last so this why I’m going automatic which would you say I’m leaning kitchen aid for build quality

[@Coffee_Kev]

It's a tough one, this is a nice machine, decent build quality, but then the Eletta Explore is also a decent machine, with nice build quality. The touch interface is nice on the kitchenaid, it's great that you can remove the bean hopper and purge the remaining beans. Other than this though, if I was stuck between these two machines, given the huge price difference, I think I'd find it difficult to justify the big jump in price. Ta, Kev

[@tinaslawson5699]

@ I went to curry’s picked up the Elletta explore Thankyou for your advice I love watching all your videos and value your advice so next which coffee of yours should I try first? Many thanks again

[@chrismichael7817]

I love coffee, this would be amazing to have

[@0rtmasta]

That pink back light makes me think your boy band backup singers, will pop up dancing from behind you.

[@Coffee_Kev]

You've seen the comment of the week, right. What have you done!!!!?😄😆

[@0rtmasta]

@@Coffee_Kev love your work Kev :) might even buy your CD & coffee beans.

[@Naziya-j7p]

Oooooh I want one!

[@JoanneWatson-j2z]

Great review

[@peterwatson8132]

This would make my life so much easier.

[@melaniemerritt8322]

So torn between the Kitchenaid KF8, Gaggia Accademia, Bosch Verocafe 800, and Delonghi Eletta. What do you think is the best choice overall?

[@jonzey242]

Great video

[@asif0905]

Looks tidy

[@Ryan_S63]

Hey Kev great review ! Not sure if you had a a chance to check out the terra krafe tk-02 but I was wondering if you would suggest this machine over that ! Thanks !

[@TheDAHKY]

Nice

[@PaulaCallaghan-r8e]

Hi kev. Can you review the ECM puristika if possible please.

[@waterworthfiona8883]

its a great machine slightly shocked its kitchenaid

[@Pamtay]

It looks amazing but pretty hard to justify that price tag

[@sauceNkicks]

Can we get a review of the new dualit espressivo Pro dual boiler please

[@Coffee_Kev]

Yup, coming soon

[@sauceNkicks]

@Coffee_Kev 👀

[@nathanbrady2704]

KitchenAid ? How does it hook up to the stand mixer?

[@Coffee_Kev]

Haha, yeah it's rubbish at mixing 😆

[@kazuyamishima519]

This machine vs the gaggia accademia?

[@MrNico227]

Nice review! Would you say the Jura J8 makes better coffee and is a better machine overall? Torn between these two. Thanks!

[@Coffee_Kev]

Hi, I haven't had chance to review any Jura machines unfortunately, I would like to but Jura do not want me to review their machines so I don't.

[@danjuany]

Well they don't own you, you should do it anyway that would be useful!​@@Coffee_Kev

[@toribertrand2839]

Right now in America, there is a $200 difference between the kf8 and Eletta. I’m so torn! I am in no way a barista, but I’m justifying the investment by the amount of Starbucks I buy. I have an off brand K cup coffee maker , but the coffee just isn’t strong enough, no matter the beans or grind, or k cup I use. So here I am. I’m leaning towards this model, simply for the warranty and cleaning features, but I adore the to go features of the eletta 😢 someone help!

[@esptraces]

Have had my eletta for a few weeks. Love it!! I'm a cold brew with cold foam drinker too and all it's cold drink options are awesome.

[@SherifHassan-r9s]

KF8 is for $1200 using whirlpool inside pass

[@TeamEvansHealth]

@@SherifHassan-r9sHow do we use inside pass?

[@ABattman-k2y]

Not sure I’m keen on bean to cup, the milk container on this one is a bit odd. But if I was to win one I would be very happy!

[@Coffee_Kev]

To be fair you don't even need the milk container, you can just launch the pipe in your milk bottle / carton. Ta, Kev.

[@shootermcgavin6105]

👍🏻

[@pmliu111]

Looks good, but very pricey

[@tubbyj02]

good machine but that price will be a killer for sales

[@katekm1658]

Like the touch screen but not the size. Wouldn’t fit in my kitchen.

[@johne7100]

Not that I'd be buying machine that price, but it'd be interesting all the same to know how big a puck it uses. Also, on my ex-demo De'Longhi (which cost a tenth of what this one costs), when I hit the double button it grinds a bit longer, so that I can stop the flow and get a decent espresso out of a good-sized puck. If I heard you rightly and this contraption makes a double as one single after another, if I stopped it early I'd abort both shots. Aye well, I suppose we're not meant to want to do that.

[@davidarmstrong1657]

15g pucks

[@johne7100]

​@@davidarmstrong1657 Cheers. Good size for a B2C... I take it that's dry weight.

[@davidarmstrong1657]

@ yes

[@Coffee_Kev]

Not sure to be honest, it won't eject without running water through the pucks, I'll try turning it off and see if I can get a dry weight that way. Cheers, Kev.

[@gamevids4181]

Seems like a good machine but not sold on its looks, I have to be honest.

[@Freethinker1967]

Plus or minus 3° c in A total range of 9° c is ridiculous

[@steveh7866]

Nice review, thank you. Though... perhaps it needs in big shouty words THIS CANNOT MAKE TEA and after spending nearly £2k you will STILL need a kettle. Wretched Europeans seem to want us to stop making proper tea with boiling water, same with all the idiotic water dispensers/"boiling" water taps popping up purportedly as alternatives to a kettle.

[@iggyman83]

It dispenses hot water for tea. If you like boiling water, which is not ideal for tea, you can use your kettle.

[@steveh7866]

@@iggyman83 Ah right. That'll be why one common complaint is that the tea is so "good" when brewed at altitude. Perhaps you prefer green tea? To pull out the full flavour of a British cuppa you need 100°C water.

[@Coffee_Kev]

The high setting at about 90C is slightly higher than a lot of others, I think that's actually perfect for most tea, I use about 88C for normal tea, I've tried going hotter and it doesn't appear to be helpful. Cheers, Kev

[@Coffee_Kev]

Try testing that, make a brew actually at 100C as it's coming off the boil, let it cool down to drinking temp - do the same at about 90C, I'd be very surprised if you determine that you do actually need 100C water for a proper British cuppa. Ta, Kev.

[@steveh7866]

@@Coffee_Kev Hmm will pick up a thermometer and try. Certainly none of my espresso machines have delivered hot enough water (yes, I always try - something else to play with with a new machine) and my spirits fall when someone else lets the kettle go off the boil before pouring as it always gets that "dishwater" flavour. Again, I suspect it is a different flavour profile people are looking for: my guess would be it doesn't release the tanins as well when it isn't boiling hot as it's missing astringency.

[@163andyc]

KitchenAid products always seen more expensive than comparable products from other manufacturers.

[@Coffee_Kev]

yeah they're a premium brand, the thing is thought when a brand that has built such a strong brand in a specific product area branches out to a very different niche, does the brand name really hold value? It's a nice machine, some great features, well built, I'm just not sure I'd pay double the price of the DeLonghi Eletta Explore, or nearly 5 times what you can currently get the Eletta Cappuccino for, for this.
