- KitchenAid has announced a new range of three espresso machines
- They brew at lower temperatures, making them perfect for over-ice drinks
- They’ll be available to purchase online from May 4
KitchenAid, the brand behind some of our favorite kitchen appliances, including some of the best coffee makers, has unveiled its new range of instant espresso machines — and if you’re like me and can’t get enough of iced coffee, you’ll want to check them out.
The Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with Iced Coffee range consists of three models, the KF2, KF3, and KF4, which will be available to order from KitchenAid’s online store from May 4. They differ from the brand’s existing lineup of fully automatic espresso machines in a couple of ways, but like those models are designed to suit both novices and more experienced coffee aficionados.
Each model is noticeably more compact than the likes of the KitchenAid KF6 or the KitchenAid KF8 — they’re around 25% smaller. They also brew at lower temperatures than those models, so that you can enjoy both hot coffee and iced drinks, and offer a generous menu of presets featuring up to 24 drinks, depending on the model.

Chadwick Ries, Global Head of Product, Brand, and Insights shared “From perfectly brewed iced coffee to classic espresso drinks, this compact machine delivers variety, performance and quiet operation in a format that fits effortlessly into any home and everyday life”.
The KF2 starts at $799.99, the KF3 at $999.99, and the KF4 at $1,299.99 with international pricing to be confirmed. All are Quiet Mark-certified, meaning they won’t make a racket while you brew your beverages, and all three include KitchenAid’s IntelliGrind and Aroma Balance systems allowing each machine to adjust its brew settings to suit your coffee beans.
There are two ways to steam milk across the three models. The KF2 is fitted with a Panarello Auto Steam Wand, which is ideal for practicing your barista skills and perfecting your latte art, while the KF3 and KF4 feature KitchenAid’s AutoMilk System, which enables you to froth milk to the perfect consistency at the touch of a button, be that smooth and glossy foam for lattes, or more frothy foam for a cappuccino.
As mentioned, you’ll be able to purchase the KF2, KF3, and KF4 models from May 4. You can also sign up to KitchenAid’s mailing list to be the first to know when new models drop.
