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

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!

I absolutely love this new pasta press attachment for my KitchenAid mixer! I tried out a sourdough spaghetti recipe and it came out perfectly. The kids all enjoyed watching the pasta maker do its work and we enjoyed fresh homemade pasta for the first time this week! It is important to keep your pasta Dough wrapped tightly in plastic in between loading it into the machine. I’m looking forward to trying the other pasta varieties since it comes with five different pasta attachments. It was very simple to use. One helpful note is to wash all the parts immediately before it hardens.

This was easy to attach to my mixer and pressed out beautiful pasta. Cleanup was easy and it seemed to hold up well.

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.

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.

I am in love with my purchase! I am gluten free and it is hard to find pasta so I try to make it at home! This is so easy to use and get great results! It is a nice quality component to my kitchen and so easy to use for whatever you need!

This attachment is made of quality parts, no plastic! This is one of the reason I choose this one. It comes with several recipes to get you started. I like that you have many choices for pasta size.

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.

Great attachment for my kitchen aid.

The first thing I liked about this pasta press attachment after using it is that it attaches easily to the KitchenAid mixer. Once the dough is set, it automatically releases pasta, so i don't have to shape it by hand. With 5 interchangeable plates, i can make different shapes of spaghetti, macaroni, etc. Since it is made of metal, it feels sturdy and gives me confidence to use it. However, it takes a little practice to get the dough consistency right in the beginning.

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 .

Good quality, however, the first push of pasta is slow and squished. After a few inches, it flows better. Hard to clean. Even with attached tools.

Happy with quality of the product. Great variety of options for different pasta. No issues works witn kitchen aid.
