Features and Performance In addition to standout features like dual, smart temperature sensors and fast-heating thermocoil technology, the KitchenAid® Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine utilizes a 58mm commercial-grade portafilter with two recessed spouts and a flat base for easy and stable tamping as well as the option to prepare a single of double espresso shot with the press of a button. Also included is a steam wand to make delicious lattes and cappuccinos, and a passive cup warmer on top of the machine that preheats cups while brewing.
