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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Nice but not worth $200

Looks aside, the machine has some very basic features that you can get with a $30 coffee maker. Strange design with a handle on the side that is easy to break. I got rid of the plastic taste that someone complained about by running water through 6-7 times, but ended up sending the machine back because the keep warm function didn't work when the machine was auto programmed. What's the use of making coffee in the morning when you come into the kitchen and it's just warm? The keep warm function worked with the manual on/off switch, but only for 60 minutes. All other machines I've owned keep warm for at least 2 hours. Nice design but not functional.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Makes me angry
