Metal Gourmet Pasta Press Attachment for Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, Pasta Maker Attachment with 5 Interchangeable Plates, Spaghetti Bucatini Fusilli Large/Small Macaroni

Recently started making my our pasta and I must say, this attachment is fun to use, works amazing and so easy to set up and use! Cleans up easily too! It’s no louder than the mixer itself, look like the brand name products too. Perfect fit and really durable!

I've wanted to do homemade pasta for years and this finally got me to actually do it. The all-metal body is the big difference between this and cheaper options — it feels like it'll last. Five plate options is plenty for us; I don't need 10 shapes, I just want the basics done well. Spaghetti night at our house just got a whole lot more fun. Tip: clean it while it's still fresh, don't let the dough sit.

It is impossible to clean all the food surfaces of this machine. The plastic auger is easy to wash, the plates are difficult but not quite impossible to clean. But the instructions say: “Do not wash press housing in dishwasher or immerse in water or other liquid.” The manual says to clean it with “a soft damp cloth”. A damp cloth won’t even reach all the interior surfaces (not that it could even sanitize sufficiently ). I can live with the”no dishwasher” requirement, but any machine whose food surfaces cannot be washed doesn’t meet my definition of sanitary, especially when dealing with an egg dough. Salmonella, anyone? This may be an inherent defect with all extruders, but this one is clearly unsafe. I had great hopes for this machine, but am returning it.

One of the best purchases I’ve made! Solid heavy duty material and performance is superior! The attachment fits perfectly on our Kitchenaid mixer.

This is a game changer! My previous press did not flow evenly like this one does, far sturdier and easy to use. Faster than I expected too which is nice!

For at-home chefs who like a little adventure with their carbs I tried this pasta press with my Kitchenaid, and it is very easy to attach and use. When you get the dough recipe right, it presses beautifully and feels surprisingly satisfying to operate. The sturdier shapes come out great and look like something you could proudly pretend came from an Italian grandmother. But the spaghetti and angel hair settings seem to have formed a union and refused to cooperate. No matter what I did, the dough came out too thick and clumpy for those thinner shapes. Maybe it is user error, maybe the attachment knows I cannot be trusted with delicate pasta. Hard to say. Overall, it is fun, it works well for most shapes, and it is absolutely worth it if you like homemade pasta. Just be prepared for a little trial and error and some spaghetti-related self reflection.

Purchased this pasta maker as I wanted to try my hand at homemade pasta. It very easy to use and has several blades for different varieties of pasta. I like that it is all metal and not plastic and has a case to store all the blades and accessories. Price was reasonable and its an added bonus to my kitchenaid mixer.

My wife and I have been wanting to try fresh pasta for a while now and this pasta press has quickly turned us from beginners into professionals! Everything was very easy to use and we loved all the options that the different pressing plate gave us. The all metal body of the attachment was a big selling point for us especially today when everything is made from plastic. We felt confident in the sturdiness and longevity of the pasta maker and it was a lot of fun to use! As a side note, the pasta press is much easier to clean before the pasta dries so I suggest cleaning it right away. We are very happy with our purchase!

Pretty cool attachment. Mix up your dough based on the supplied recipes in the booklet, add to the pasta maker and it comes out the other end. The smaller the pasta, the slower it comes out. The larger shapes are faster. It’s a little tricky to clean but comes with a cleaning brush. It’s a nice addition to make home made fresh and preservative free pasta for the family. We made home made beefaroni and everyone loved it!!

Worked Great for the first few months. After about 10 uses, the plastic auger broke and it's now useless :(

It works good but it’s slow to make a bunch of pasta

Disappointing . I love my Kitchen Aid stand Mixer . I have used the Pasta Rollers/Cutters for years . I wanted to make other types of pasta so I ordered this attachment . It’s easy to use but very slow even on high speed . The pasta dough has to be SUPER DRY or it will not work properly . Adding extra flour to the dough to make is very dry is time consuming and makes the pasta Chewy . You can’t control the thickness of the dough . Running the mixer at high speed for over an hour overheats the motor . I returned it and will go back to using my wood pasta boards to make different pasta shapes . It is actually faster than the machine and allows me to control the thickness .

Great attachment for my kitchen aid.
