Buy recently roasted, untreated coffee

Fresh coffee is still bursting with flavour and it's best for the hopper too.

The optimal water temperature for brewing espresso ranges from 87–96°C. 

The KitchenAid Espresso Machines temperature levels (Low-Medium-High) give the ability to adjust within this range, tuning the temperature approx. of +/- 2°C to 5°C, depending on many factors such as grind size, dose, roast and freshness of the coffee.

KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso machines are designed to encourage exploration. Simplifying the way to change beans is an important benefit to exploring different roasts and coffees.

A water filter is included with each machine. Additional filters will be available through KitchenAid website.

KitchenAid advises replacement of the water filters every 50L of water or every 6 weeks.
