KITCHENAID KF7 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine - Juniper

The KF7 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine (KES8557JP) by KitchenAid earns its place on the counter. Metal-clad where most fully automatic machines settle for plastic, it is built to match the quality it delivers: 20 one-touch drink options, a removable bean hopper with Auto Purge, and a heat-up time of under 40 seconds. Available in Stainless Steel, Cast Iron Black, Porcelain, and Juniper, it looks as good as it performs.

The removable bean hopper twists and lifts out for easy bean changes whenever you want to switch things up. Auto Purge automatically clears any remaining grounds from the grinder between batches, so the flavour of your new roast comes through clean from the very first shot. Automatic smart dosing takes care of the grind, producing the right volume and consistency for each selected drink across seven grind settings without any manual input.

The Auto Milk System draws from the included 790mL milk container and automatically adjusts frothing and heating for each drink, delivering perfectly textured milk through a dual-drink delivery system. The milk vs. espresso pour order can be adjusted to your preference. Four user profiles let everyone in the house save their favourites, and the 3.5in LCD touchscreen makes it straightforward to fine-tune strength, volume, and temperature for any drink.

A "Clean Me" indicator light alerts you when a cleaning cycle is due, with a programmable cycle that adapts to your water hardness level. The removable brew unit and water tank make routine maintenance easy to take care of.
