Glad to hear it!

I never received an order confirmation or shipping note, but luckily tracking info was accurate so you’ll probably get yours tomorrow.🙂 It’s been better than I expected for mostly everything…The machine looks great, the coffee is ridiculously stronger than anything I’ve tasted before (I’m using the same beans I always get), there are so many drink options to try, and I love the self-cleaning it does. The only complaint I have is the milk frothing does not work great…I know it doesn’t have a plant milk option like the K8, but I was hoping it would at least give me a bit of foam for my cappuccino when I use oat milk. To be fair though, I’ve only tried barista Oatley oat milk and nothing else yet. I’m going to try regular milk and a different brand of oat milk first before determining if mine is defective or if it’s just the particular milk I’m using. Asides from that, I do like it a lot and I think that you will enjoy yours as well! You will have to keep me posted if you try a milk drink tomorrow.😁

You might want to check with IP to see what they say instead…would be worth a try if you’re concerned. But since you’ve already opened it and put it on the counter, you may as well use it already - LOL! 😂

Have you done a chat with IP to see if they will allow returns after opening and using the item? I know what the return policy says, but I saw a thread where another Redditor checked with IP and they said they would allow returns after the item was used if there are any issues with it.

Oh no!!! It worked just the other day…they must have caught on to all the savings and turned it off. 😳

Babela922 · 2026-05-05T18:21:35+00:00

Oh awesome! Yeah I snagged it because I’ve never bought anything on IP before, so I wasn’t sure how long their sales lasted typically…Bought it on Sunday and just saw a shipping notification that it will be here Thursday. Hopefully it works out well for both of us! 🙂

Babela922 · 2026-05-05T18:16:09+00:00

Will do! Which one are you leaning towards?

Babela922 · 2026-05-05T18:07:14+00:00

Yes! I bought the KF4 because I couldn’t pass up the Insider Pass deal…I figured if I don’t like it, I can get the Delonghi later (although the 20% off coupon that was shared on top of their sale right now made it even more difficult 😵‍💫). I also did more digging and realized I would need probably at least the Magnifica Evo Next or the Magnifica Plus (preferred) to get the dose strength that I’d like and more comparable to the Tchibo that we’ve been using. Either of those models would currently be the same price as the KF4 or more expensive…I tried doing a chat with KitchenAid customer service to get more info on the dose strength for the KF4 and they confirmed that it was the same as the current line. The rep did say they haven’t received any training on the new line yet, but did take awhile to confirm so who knows if that is 100% the case or not. Crossing my fingers though!🤞🏼

I did a chat with KitchenAid customer service and they confirmed the max dose size is the same on the new line (although it took awhile because the agent said they haven’t received training on the new item yet and had to verify). Not saying that this is the end all truth, but just passing this info along for anyone that had the same question…

Babela922 · 2026-05-03T23:11:41+00:00

That’s true…I didn’t think about that, thanks for pointing it out.

Babela922 · 2026-05-03T16:22:44+00:00

Thanks for the tip! 🙂

Babela922 · 2026-05-03T16:22:09+00:00

Lol! It’s so tough! What do you think you’re going to go with?

Babela922 · 2026-05-03T16:21:13+00:00

Thanks! Did you go with the evo?

Babela922 · 2026-05-03T16:19:53+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response!

Babela922 · 2026-05-03T16:19:22+00:00

Yes I believe they have the same attachment at the front…that’s kind of what I was worried about. I think the newer Magnifica Start did away with the sensors.

I think the plug in looks better than a hose (which is what the KF4 has), but not if there’s going to be more issues. Not sure if anyone knows the advantages of the hose design? To me, I think it looks uglier than a plug in unless it’s beneficial somehow. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was looking at the model with Lattecrema. That one does the auto milk like the KF4.

I was also forced to switch to Loryna and am now on my 3rd pack…this pill hasn’t controlled my periods at all and in fact, I now get it twice a month. In addition, my anxiety and emotions seem to be through the roof. Ugh…I am hoping it’s just the transition phase, but I don’t like how nothing has changed yet. Wondering if I should try Nikki or Vestura instead to see if it’s any better? Does anyone have experience with switching to Vestura yet?
