Review on Smeg Retro Style Coffee Maker: Cream-Colored Kitchen Appliance, 17.3 x 12.8 x 11.3 inches by Leah Gomez

Well I bought it because it's so pretty and for the $200 price I was hoping it would do a good job. Unfortunately there aren't any. It's just a facade. The body of the coffee maker. This thing is incredibly difficult to work with. Just setting the time was worth a tedious hour of work. Trembling mug, right? It's like a new iPhone comes out with a rotary switch. And no, if you answer 8,000 questions here, you can't pour all the water from a carafe into a well. So if you don't want to bring a jar of help (get it? "Krug", ar, ar), you'll have to deal with a lot of spilled water and tears of disappointment. In addition, the thing naturally needs to be descaled after a few weeks of brewing at the latest. So now I have to buy expensive coffee maker cleaner (or smelly vinegar, I know) or try to ignore the angry flashing red light. Talk about high maintenance costs, god. Also SMEG? I thought it was a bit weird at first, but waking up every morning to something thought-provoking, you know. Yes, the novelty is gone. Let's hope another company that values classic center lines and colors comes out with a cheaper and more capable model. Because this one doesn't cut mustard. Or make coffee. Well.
