KITCHENAID KF4 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine - Black Matte

The KitchenAid KF4 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine (KES8454BM) is ready when you are, whether that's a quick flat white on the go, or a round of lattes for guests. Over 20 hot and cold drink options at the touch of a button, an Auto Milk System, and IntelliGrind technology that reads your beans and adjusts automatically. The coffee shop menu, on your countertop, without the lineup.

The IntelliGrind system detects your bean fine-tunes the dose for consistent, balanced flavour in every cup. The integrated grinder with steel conical burrs, works across five grind settings and adapts automatically when you switch beans, so there are minimal or no manual adjustments needed. Four programmable profiles mean everyone in the house can have their preferences saved and ready to go on the 3.5" full colour LCD touchscreen.

The Auto Milk System adjusts milk texture and volume for each drink, delivering silky microfoam and froth through a dual-drink delivery system. The included BPA-free milk container can go straight into the fridge between uses, keeping things fresh and tidy. Prefer to use your own container? The included milk hose connects to anything you already have.

The iced coffee and iced espresso settings brew at a lower temperature to protect flavour and keep cold drinks smooth and balanced as they cool over ice.

Advanced noise insulation and Quiet Mark certification mean the KF4 is one of the quietest machines in its category, so early morning brews stay peaceful. Auto-rinse cycles on startup and shutdown handle the routine cleaning, and on-screen alerts guide you through descaling and deeper maintenance when the time comes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About the KitchenAid KF4 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine

What drinks can the KF4 make?

The KF4 offers 21 one-touch drink options including espresso, coffee, flat white, Americano, cappuccino, caffe latte, macchiato, latte macchiato, espresso lungo, iced coffee, iced espresso, frothed milk, warm milk, and hot water, with single and double options for most drinks.

How does the IntelliGrind system work?

IntelliGrind automatically detects the profile of your beans and adjusts the grind and dose accordingly. When you switch to a different bean, the machine adapts on its own without any manual input.

How does the over-ice setting work?

The iced coffee and iced espresso settings brew at a lower temperature than standard settings, which protects the flavour and prevents over-extraction. The result is a smooth, balanced drink that stays that way as it cools over ice.

Is the KF4 loud?

No. The KF4 features advanced noise insulation and is Quiet Mark certified, making it one of the quietest machines in its category.

How does the self-cleaning work?

The KF4 automatically rinses on startup and again at shutdown to clear coffee oil residue. On-screen alerts notify you when deeper cleaning or descaling is needed and guide you through each step.

What colours is the KF4 available in?

The KF4 is available in Black Matte and Porcelain.
