BENTON HARBOR, Mich., USA – KitchenAid is expanding the brand’s Espresso Collection with the KF6 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine now available in Porcelain White, making the entire Espresso Collection available in the timeless hue.
Earlier last year, KitchenAid introduced the cutting-edge Espresso Collection inclusive of one semi automatic espresso machine with an integrated burr grinder and three fully automatic espresso machine offerings (KF6, KF7, KF8).
Designed specifically for your countertop, the collection features several iconic KitchenAid colorways across the different models, even allowing your espresso machine to match other KitchenAid appliances with premium color options.
With the launch of the KF6 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine in Porcelain White, makers can explore easy at-home espresso making.
“With the KitchenAid Espresso Collection, we want consumers to feel empowered to make their drink their way from the comfort of their own home, and the best part of at-home espresso making is the personalization that’s possible at your fingertips,” said Chad Ries, global brand director for KitchenAid small appliances at Whirlpool Corporation.
“Consumer behavior has shifted drastically in the last few years with many major upgrades in the at-home coffee space, specifically coffee stations. Because of this, we knew we had to offer the Espresso Collection in a way that allows you to personalize your coffee station, and we did this with a variety of color offerings designed to fit any aesthetic. We’re so excited to expand the Porcelain White colorway to the KF6 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine and give makers who are looking for a more hands-off espresso machine a hint of natural warmth in their space.”
In 2023, KitchenAid unveiled the Porcelain White colorway in response to the consumer demand for softer and more approachable white tones in the home. Since then, the colorway has been expanded to many small appliances in the KitchenAid portfolio and most recently, the KF6 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine.
“The KitchenAid Global Color and Design team has tracked the evolution of white shades in the kitchen since the 1990s,” said Brittni Pertijs, Whirlpool Color, Finish & Material Design. “As we watched consumer demand shift from cold and clean in the 2010s to natural and soft in the 2020, we saw an appetite for softer and more natural white tones. And thus, Porcelain White was born.”
The KF6 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine in Porcelain White is available on KitchenAid.com today.
