Review on Smeg ECF01CRUS Espresso Coffee Machine by Tim Duncan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Too expensive to break after 3 uses

I don't know if I received the wrong one or if it's a product defect, but my car came in undamaged packaging and everything was fine. The coffee wasn't as good as I had hoped. I found the best value for money in a cuisinart I got a few years ago. The espresso strength just isn't where it should be when I use this machine. There seems to be a clog or backlog in the spouts, that is, the first three times. I wanted to use it for the fourth time and the whole car caught fire. I've tried factory resetting, cleaning and resetting, leaving it off for a month and then booting again, but now it doesn't even light up, it just stays off. The power cord seems fine, it was pretty clear it was a problem with the circuitry inside the machine, aside from not being a very good cup at all. I'm disappointed, I have a Smeg toaster and I love it.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
