KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF2 in Black Matte (KES8452BM)

The KitchenAid KF2 brings bean-to-cup espresso to the countertop in a compact, fully automatic package. Six hot and iced recipes, including espresso, cappuccino and iced coffee, are ready at the push of a button, and strength, temperature and drink size can all be adjusted from the backlit LED display. An integrated steel conical burr grinder with IntelliGrind technology automatically fine-tunes the grind and dose for each cup, while a 15-bar pump handles extraction. The auto steam wand draws air into the milk as it steams, so you can go from silky microfoam to creamy froth for milk-based drinks.

A dedicated over-ice setting brews at a lower temperature to protect flavor and limit over-extraction in iced drinks, and QuietGrind technology keeps grinding noise and vibration down. A coffee bypass chute lets you switch to pre-ground coffee, and the 1.8 L water tank, adjustable cup clearance, dispenser light, auto-rinse and descaling program keep daily use and upkeep simple. The KF2 is backed by KitchenAid's 10-year parts and service availability commitment, with an extended 3-year limited parts warranty on the grinder.
