With summer approaching, coffee lovers will switch to the iced counterparts of their favorite beverages. To make things easier for coffee enthusiasts, KitchenAid has launched three new bean-to-cup fully automatic espresso machines with iced coffee. These countertop appliances allow you to brew espresso and iced coffee with their dedicated over-ice coffee and espresso settings, so you don’t have to stand in line at the coffee shop this summer.
The new KitchenAid coffee machines – KF2, KF3, and KF4 – come with intuitive controls, Quiet Mark-Certified operation, and versatile drink options, making café-level espresso at home, whether served hot or over ice. Brewing over at a lower temperature, so you can create lighter drinks too.
While all three models are equipped to make milk-based drinks, two go the automatic way, while the KF2 allows a more hands-on approach. You can make silky foam for a cappuccino or create a flat white with a few touches via the AutoMilk System on the KF3 and KF4 models. Or you can be your barista with the Panarello Auto Steam Wand on the KF2 model.
The three models are designed to be more compact than the brand’s earlier fully automatic machines. Regardless of the size contraction, these still offer an impressive 24 pre-set drink options.
Chadwick Ries, Global Head of Product, Brand and Insights at KitchenAid Small Appliances, said in the press release, “We designed the KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with Iced Coffee to help people explore a world of coffee at home in an easy, intuitive way. 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 trio comes certified by Quiet Mark as some of the quieter machines in the category. Integrated with the brand’s IntelliGrind and Aroma Balance systems, the machines automatically adjust grind and extraction depending on each bean’s unique characteristics, including size, density, and roast level.
The trio of new KitchenAid fully automatic espresso machines will be available for purchase starting May 4, 2026, in the US before rolling out in the UK and Europe later. The KF2 is priced at $800, the KF3 at $1,000, and the KF4 at $1,300.
