    Overview

    Don’t leave your aspirations as a home barista brewing for any longer. KitchenAid’s KES2102 Espresso Machine combines power and precision for a smooth cup of coffee.

    This machine is designed for bean fiends who pump out multiple cups of coffee at once, with independent dual boilers that brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously. A quick start-up time means you won’t be late in starting your morning commute. The filter holder can accommodate two baskets for single or double shots, and the single basket will also brew your paper coffee pods.

    With a commercial-grade chrome-plated brass brewing group head, and a striking colour finish, this machine looks as great as the coffee it produces.
    Independent dual boilers

    Don’t sit around twiddling your thumbs while your espresso extracts. This machine’s dual boiler technology will allow you to steam milk at the same time. This is handy for when you have friends over and everyone puts their hand up for a coffee. The espresso boiler delivers a consistent temperature for optimum flavour, while the steam boiler uses instant, powerful steam to produce a velvety microfoam.

    Quick start-up

    When you’ve got coffee on your mind, it can feel like you’d do anything to get your hands on a cup. This espresso machine warms up for brewing and steaming in only six minutes, before you can even self-diagnose a case of the Mondays.

    Professional filter holder

    This machine comes with two stainless steel filter baskets—one for a single shot of espresso, and the other for a double shot, for when you require that extra bit of kick to meet your deadline. You can use the smaller basket to accommodate coffee pods, for added versatility with your brewing.

    Sleek design

    Keeping in line with KitchenAid’s professional aesthetic detailing, the brewing group head is constructed with commercial-grade chrome-plated brass. The alluring Candy Apple Red colour finish means this machine will look right at home next to your other KitchenAid benchtop appliances.

    great color returned 3 espresso makers

    Unreliable
    I received this espresso maker as a gift from my wife. I was initially very happy with the product. It looked great and I enjoyed using it. However, the steam boiler malfunctioned within 1 year and was unable to be repaired by the manufacturer. As the product was discontinued, they were unable to replace it and we were offered a credit toward another kitchen aid product. There were no comparable Kitchen Aid espresso makers available to purchase, so we continued to use the machine without the steam function. After another year, that also became non-functional. We were very disappointed, as we had very high expectations for this machine. We replaced this product with a Breville and have been very happy so far.

    Best Espresso Machine Ever!!
    (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Bought this 5 years ago, and the only issue was one of the temperature dials. Unfortunately Kitchenaid no longer offers this machine, and were not able to arrange for replacement or repair, even while under a generous 5 year warranty. Our only solution is to return the machine for a refund and find another machine that is hopefully (almost) as good. Sadly Kitchenaid does not offer a comparable product at this time. We will be very sad to see it go, but this seems our only option since it will be worth nothing if it breaks down after warranty with no replacement parts available.
