- KitchenAid has announced a new series of three espresso machines
- They brew at lower temperatures, making them perfect for over-ice drinks
- They can be bought online from 4 May
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 series of fully automatic espresso machines with iced coffee consists of three models, KF2, KF3 and KF4, which will be available to order from KitchenAid’s online store from 4 May. They differ from the brand’s existing range of fully automatic espresso machines in a few ways, but like these models are designed to suit both no afes and more experience coffees.
Each model is noticeably more compact than the KitchenAid KF6 or KitchenAid KF8 – they are about 25% smaller. They also brew at lower temperatures than these models, so you can enjoy both hot coffee and iced drinks, and offer a generous menu of presets with 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 that allow 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 equipped with a Panarello Auto Steam Wand, which is ideal for practicing your barista skills and perfecting your latte art, while the KF3 and KF4 have KitchenAid’s AutoMilk System, which enables you to froth milk to the perfect consistency at the touch of a button, be it the smooth and glossy foam for a latte, or more cappuccino for a cappuccino.
As mentioned, you will be able to purchase the KF2, KF3 and KF4 models from May 4th. You can also sign up for KitchenAid’s mailing list to be the first to know when new models drop.
