You know KitchenAid for their iconic stand mixers, as a staple for any professional or passionate at-home baker. But the quality kitchen appliance brand doesn’t just serve when it comes to dessert: Its newest endeavor, an espresso machine collection, aims to make crafting your morning latte as easy as it is drinking it.

“Today, the brand introduces an espresso collection rooted in design, craftsmanship, and stand-out user experience to empower consumers to explore a world of espresso drinks at home, just the way they like," a KitchenAid press release reads. «Inclusive of one semi-automatic and three fully-automatic offerings, the new KitchenAid Espresso Collection introduces a world of espresso at home, where exploration feels effortless, elevated, and exciting.”

The espresso world can feel intimidating, especially when you're just a humble coffee lover (what's a macchiato, exactly?), and this is KitchenAid's answer to that. All four machines feature a sleek design, are easy to clean, and intend to allow you to explore espresso without any confusion or anxieties.

The semi-automatic machine ($700) is what KitchenAid calls its “residential” version of what you might see baristas using at your favorite local coffeehouse, so you can make whatever you’d normally order—an espresso, americano, latte, cappuccino, or whatever your heart desires—in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Created to be fully hands-on without the guesswork, you can grind your beans using the integrated burr grinder, dose them manually or with smart dosing technology, and tamp your grounds with an easy-tamp portafilter before the machine pulls a shot (or a double).
