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

Worked amazingly

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!

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.

I’ve been loving my KitchenAid pasta maker attachment. The aroma of fresh pasta dough is incredible, and the flavor easily beats anything store‑bought. What really stands out is how versatile it is—I can make different pasta shapes and sizes to match whatever meal I’m planning. It also stays cool while running, so it’s comfortable to use for longer sessions. The grind quality is excellent, producing smooth, consistent pasta every time. My son and I have had so much fun making homemade pasta together; it’s become a little tradition and such a rewarding experience. The attachment clicks onto the KitchenAid effortlessly, and cleanup couldn’t be easier. Let the leftover dough dry, soak the parts, and everything comes right off. Overall, it’s a fantastic value and a smart little investment for anyone who loves fresh pasta at home.

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!

Set up is easy. Not sure if I like how to separate the various types from the cutter and the right size/length it to be. Maybe just a learning curve and time will tell.

I've been really impressed with this Metal Gourmet Pasta Press attachment for my KitchenAid mixer. The price I paid provided me a great solid metal build and five interchangeable plates — spaghetti, bucatini, fusilli, and both large and small macaroni — which is a fantastic variety for the cost. The attachment fits securely on the mixer and provides consistent pasta in minutes. Having so many plate options means I can switch up my pasta night without buying multiple gadgets. Has been one of the best value-for-money kitchen purchases I've made. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to like this. It was well-made and stainless steel which were both pluses. The downside to this one is after I’ve used it once and was very happy with the way it performed. I realize the next day there was no way to open it up and clean it up on the inside. The instructions say not to immerse it in water, so I could find no real way to make sure the interior of this machine was clean. Therefore, I returned this one and found another one that would open up and allow you to clean inside.

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.
