Editorial note

The KitchenAid KCM1208 coffee machine stands out with its 12-cup capacity, ideal for families or gatherings with friends. Its integrated and modern design in gray fits harmoniously into any kitchen, adding a touch of elegance. Additionally, the use of ground coffee allows for quick and convenient preparation, making the user experience enjoyable thanks to its built-in screen and intuitive buttons. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The lack of a built-in grinder limits options for those who prefer fresh coffee beans, while the absence of a milk frother restricts the possibilities of preparing milk-based drinks like cappuccinos or lattes. Furthermore, the lack of a water filter and self-cleaning function may affect the quality of the water used and make maintenance more laborious for users. In terms of performance, the machine scores well with a 75, but its value for money could be improved, with a score of 70, particularly due to the absence of modern features. Ease of use is appreciated, with a score of 80, although repairability is rated at 65, indicating a need for attention to maintenance. Overall, the KitchenAid KCM1208 is a sturdy option for coffee lovers looking for a stylish and practical machine, but it may not meet the expectations of those seeking more advanced features.
