AA Marble & Granite, LLC on Mar 26, 2012Check the pressure. Sounds like it might be low. You may need to put a pressure regular on there. They, the plumbers, have been adding them to washers for several years.Helpful Reply

HandyANDY - Handyman & All Repairs, LLC on Mar 26, 2012Could be a number of things. Is the kitchen faucet the only issue or do you have similar pressure problems in other baths? Checking the aerator is fairly easy but I'm not sure that's what it is. Get a soft cloth and wrap it around the aerator before applying the pliers so it doesn't scratch the surface. Once removed, visually inspect the aerator for debris. Hold your finger on the inside and flip it over to run water through the outside edge of the screen to clear the debris. What kind of faucet do you have there....a newer pull out?Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Mar 27, 2012With the aerator removed continue to use the faucet for a few days. This will let you "see" if it is an aerator problem. If real damaged of clogged a replacement can be rounded up. If you continue to get air..then you will need to expand your trouble shooting....are you on a well or city service?Helpful Reply
