About Kismile
Kismile is a kitchen and home appliance brand based in Chatsworth, California, selling a broad catalog of ice makers, air fryers, coffee makers, and fridges through its own site and Amazon. The company describes its lineup as spanning 200+ products across categories from countertop nugget ice makers to chest freezers and says it has reached more than 50,000 homes. Ice makers are the brand's best-known category, and its wider catalog also covers espresso machines, milk frothers, water dispensers, and food dehydrators.
Kismile's coffee line includes drip, single-serve, and 20-bar espresso machines. In October 2025, the brand's newest Drip Coffee Maker earned trade coverage via PR Newswire for its thick-film heating element, which brings water into the 197 to 205 degree Fahrenheit extraction window in about three seconds and is built to SCA and ECBC Gold Cup standards. Kismile backs its appliances with a 1-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Why we recognized Kismile
The Brew Gazette Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our hands-on category reviews. Kismile earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: bought, brewed with daily, and judged on what lands in the cup.
Kismile products we rated highly
Kismile SCA-Certified 8-Cup Drip Coffee Maker with Pour-Over Control
SCA certification confirms this machine holds the 197 to 205 degree brew window through the cycle, verified rather than promised. A manual flow-control lever adds pre-infusion and multi-stage extraction control that is rarely available at this price, and a built-in 20-minute deep-infusion cold brew program means the same machine covers both hot and iced coffee. In our testing it brewed a full eight-cup pot in about six minutes off a three-second instant-heat start, and its 70-gram basket accepts metal or paper filters in either V-cone or flat-bottom shape.

- Genuine SCA certification on the drip/pour-over line, independently verifying the 197 to 205 degree Fahrenheit brew window rather than relying on a marketing claim.
- A manual flow-control lever gives pre-infusion and multi-stage extraction control that most machines at this price fix at the factory, the specific feature a hand-pour brewer reaches for on a light roast.
- Third-party trade press coverage: Kismile's precision-heating drip coffee maker was covered by PR Newswire in October 2025 for its three-second thick-film heating element.
- One machine handles both hot brewing and a 20-minute deep-infusion cold brew program, so buyers are not choosing between two appliances.
- Backed by a 1-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee, standard consumer-confidence policies published directly on kismile.com.
