COFUN Pasta Attachment for KitchenAid Stand Mixer, 3 Pcs

Where has this been all my life? I have wanted a pasta attachment for a long time but just couldn't bring myself to pay the super high price tag for the name brand and was afraid one like this would be a cheap inferior knock off. It is anything but that! I was lucky enough to find a sale near the holidays, so I thought - well it's worth a try. It has full instructions and is a breeze to use. I think it has to be better than the brand name which is three different pieces. This is all one piece so you don't have to switch it out to cut the pasta sheets. It comes with a metal plate that hooks onto the device that helps with guiding the pasta sheets through the machine. Believe me, that's handy when that pasta sheet starts getting long! It also comes with a cleaning tool that has a brush on one end and a small spatula on the other. There are 8 different thicknesses. It worked perfectly. I'm attaching a picture of fettuccine I just made with it. Recipe by the way is 2 eggs, 2 cups flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and a little cold water in case it's too dry. Put that in the mixer bowl with the hook attachment letting the machine do the kneading for about 5 minutes. Wrap it and let it sit for 30 minutes, then its ready to go into the machine. I watched a couple of videos online to learn how to make it. There are lots of them out there so you don't have to be intimidated to make your own pasta! So easy and so much better than store bought pasta! I'm excited about trying more recipes that can be healthier versions like using spinach. I love this thing and am so sad that I wasted so many years not buying one! It is just as good, if not better than the name brand for way, way less money.

I’ve been making fresh pasta for years and already owned the KitchenAid brand set with 3 separate attachments (roller, spaghetti, fettuccine). This attachment combines all three into one, and that alone is a big win for me. It takes up much less storage space, and I don’t have to swap attachments while making noodles - which makes the whole process faster and less fiddly. Function-wise, it works really well. The dough rolls smoothly and the spaghetti and fettuccine cutters are clean and precise. The noodles come out evenly cut and look great every time. A few important things to note, especially if you’re coming from the brand-name set. The thickness numbering is reversed. With the KitchenAid attachment, you start at “1” and work your way up. With this one, you start at “8” and work your way down. Not a deal breaker, but it does take a minute to retrain your brain. The adjustment knob also feels flimsier than the brand version and the numbers are hard to see. It still works fine, but this is one area where a small design improvement would make a big difference. Please read the cleaning instructions otherwise you can ruin your attachment: you’re not supposed to wash this attachment with water and should only use a dry brush. My tried-and-true egg noodle recipe (always a hit in our house): Dry ingredients: - 300 g “00” flour (do not use all purpose) - 2 tsp salt Wet ingredients: - 2 large eggs - 3 large egg yolks - Add enough water to bring the total weight of wet ingredients to 185 g Method: 1. Pulse flour and salt in a food processor for about 10 seconds. 2. Add wet ingredients and process until dough forms. 3. Knead by hand for about 12 minutes. Do not skip this step. The KitchenAid hook attachment won’t give you the plasticity you want. 4. Lightly flour, wrap, and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes up to 5 hours. 5. Cut into 4 pieces, shape each piece as a flat rectangle, and roll using the pasta attachment. Starts with “8” and go down to “2”, rolling twice on each setting. The instructions recommend to stop at “3” for fettuccine, but I finish with one roll on “2”. This dough works beautifully with this attachment, and we always end up going back for seconds.

This is made with high quality stainless steel. It produces consistent dough sheets and noodles. I like it that it's 3 in 1 so that there's no need to change between attachments when making noodles. If theres anything that can be improved I would say that I hope it can be wider so it makes bigger sheets.

works great

Easy to use and care for.

Bought for son for birthday. Worked well with kitchenaid. Cleans easily, dough rolled out well, put together in seconds, overall good value. Didn’t give 5 stars due to the feed plate was dented, but still functional.

Heavy duty, works well.

Making pasta is a dream with this attachment. Great price and well made. Love it!

Quality product

Loved this product - highly recommend

Nachdem ich Probleme mit meinem Artikel hatte, habe ich den Verkäufer kontaktiert und sehr schnell eine hilfreiche Antwort erhalten. Nun funktioniert alles bestens und ich bin sehr zufrieden.

Unfortunately, for the lasagne roller, there was no way to change the thickness of the dough. The 8 settings adjustment knob was jammed straight out of the box. Seeing as there's no way to make pasta without first rolling it out, I'm afraid its not fit for purpose. I've ordered another in the hope that this one is better made. Hopefully it will arrive soon for me to test.

Veio com o rolo super arranhado e a escova de limpeza muito amassada. Não quiseram fazer a substituição (esperei um mês pelo produto) e queriam fazer apenas o reembolso com a devolução para que eu tivesse que esperar mais um mês. Foi comprado no prime day com desconto, então ainda teria a questão da diferença de valor. Decepção.
