KitchenAid KF6 5KES8556BK Black Truffle Espresso Grinder

Design of the KitchenAid KF6: sobriety and elegance

The KitchenAid 5KES8556BK model features a refined design, highlighted by a 2.4-inch color screen that facilitates access to customization settings. An LED strip lights up under the spout during preparation. Perfect for daily family use, it is equipped with:

• Bean hopper: 270 g
• Water tank: 2.2 L
• Grounds container: 12 pucks

The bean hopper lid incorporates a sealing gasket to preserve aromas. Access to the grounds container is easily done via a front drawer. The spout adjusts in height to accommodate cups up to 13 cm.

Up to 15 customizable drinks with the KitchenAid KF6

The KitchenAid KF6 bean-to-cup coffee machine stands out for its wide choice of recipes adjustable according to your preferences. Thanks to precise settings, it allows coffee lovers to find the perfect balance in the cup. The grind fineness can be adjusted on seven levels, thus offering the possibility to subtly adjust acidity and bitterness. The temperature is adjustable on three distinct levels, while the coffee intensity adapts on five levels, to bring more or less body to your drink.

During our tests, we obtained from the first extraction a generous and creamy crema, with a beautiful hazelnut hue, using a medium grind combined with a medium roast, with a perfectly controlled result in the cup.

Milk-based drinks are also featured. They are easily prepared thanks to a tube to insert into the container of your choice. Each recipe can be customized, both in temperature and quantity, to suit all desires.

Technologies integrated in the KitchenAid KF6

The removable bean hopper limits retention to only 9.6 g. An integrated purge function allows you to empty the grinder to avoid any aroma mixing. A pre-ground coffee chute is also provided for preparing decaffeinated coffee.

Certified Quiet Mark, this machine guarantees silent extraction — a strong point confirmed during our tests.

It integrates a Thermocoil heating system, capable of quickly reaching the ideal temperature. Result: the machine is ready to use in just 40 seconds.

Simplified maintenance of the KF6 machine

The KitchenAid KF6 combines performance and longevity thanks to maintenance designed to extend its lifespan while reducing its ecological footprint. The intuitive screen guides the user step by step to avoid any waste of water and products.

• A periodic descaling every two to three months depending on water hardness, helps maintain optimal energy consumption. The weekly rinsing of the extraction chamber, simply with lukewarm water, avoids the use of detergents while preserving the purity of aromas.
• Compatible with Brita filter cartridges, the machine prioritizes tap water while reducing plastic waste.
• The automatic cleaning of the milk system, without chemicals, guarantees impeccable hygiene and more responsible daily use.
