We had a KitchenAid siphon machine before this which we loved. We were going to buy a new one but took a chance on this Smeg instead. I LOVE this machine. It is easy to use, the crema is beautiful and it froths milk really well. Looks gorgeous too!
The Italian appliance maestros at Smeg have turned their '50s-inspired design genius on espresso making – and the result is the ECF01. While it's a manual coffee machine that will appeal to hardcore home baristas, there's also some fiendishly clever tech beneath that curvaceous Cadillac-esque body.
Beautiful retro-chic styling; Some truly neat features; Super-quick to heat; Great-tasting coffee; Can handle taller cups and mugs
Oddly positioned power switch
Looks great but so disappointed! Coffee weak and you have to make it for two to even get a coffee for one and milk frother very hard to work - sometimes ok but mostly not - the steamer heats the milk but very little froth. Hardly any room to put normal size cup under - really only for expresso.
So, is the Smeg a good buy Yes and no. On the positive side, it gives you all the tools you need to achieve the perfect espresso. It's flexible, looks great and is easy to maintain and operate. Even the milk frother is simple to use.
Makes a good espresso; Alluring retro looks; Basic adjustments help make the perfect shot
Expensive; No water filter included
