KitchenAid9.5 Oz. Removable Bean Hopper with Lid for KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machines

This is a complete game changer for anyone who enjoys drinking both coffee and espresso on a regular basis. I used to only keep one type of bean in my machine and relied on the pre-ground function for everything else. While the pre-ground option is effective, it doesn't offer the customization that having beans in the hopper provides.Although it doesn't come with separate instructions, your main machine will have the necessary guidance, and the options on the machine will help you through the process of purging and changing out the hopper. This feature is such a fantastic addition! It was a little pricey, but I'm glad I can now switch out my beans. I plan to buy more in the future.

perfect for my fully automatic KitchenAid. I have one for caffeinated beans and one for decaf. You can get what you want…… sometimes.

I got extras so I could switch out different coffee beans.

I can only drink decaf which means my hopper is always full of decaf beans. That's a problem when guests come over and want a regular cappuccino. With most other super espresso machines I'd have to dump the beans and refill the hopper, but not with my KF7. I just bought an extra hopper that I keep filled with regular espresso beans and in about a minute I've switched the hopper and am brewing a regular cappuccino. The KF line of super espresso machines is the best appliance I have ever owned. Thank you Kitchenaid.

Bought to have on hand to easily switch out beans in our KF8 machine from medium roast to decafe.Would highly recommend if you have the KF 8 or other machine it would fit in.

Brilliant design, easy to use, and finally away for me to have decaf coffee in this beautiful coffee maker with a simple twist and drop it in. KitchenAid nailed it when they thought of this and I’m so glad.

If you own a Kitchenaid superautomatic espresso machine, having a second bean hopper is a must to take advantage of the swappable feature! Keep some decaf in it or use it to easily switch between different beans you might enjoy.
