The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I found this coffee maker on a website for kitchen appliances and bought it. The design, which is done in a traditional way, caught my attention immediately. Ergonomic handles, a manageable size and weight, and stability for brewing coffee. Because of how amazing the coffee tastes and how beautiful it looks in my kitchen, it only makes me feel good.

Pros
  • beautiful, cozy, and obvious.
Cons
  • No.

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Getting a cappuccino maker was crucial to my daily routine. Took care of it with ease. Capable of producing the perfect milk foam. It was also essential that the look and size work with my current appliances (I already own a SMEG kettle and toaster). With the little available area, she was pleased with how small she was. Even though it lacks many of the features of full coffee machines (I have one elsewhere), it meets all of the aforementioned criteria, therefore I am extremely happy with it…

Pros
  • From the moment I laid eyes on this machine, I was completely smitten. So far, I'm a fan of the design, coffee quality, ease of maintenance, and small footprint.
Cons
  • The price was the only deterrent, so I made the purchase in September of 2022.

I've been drawn to this particular model for a very long time because it has such an incredible design. When we finally got our hands on it, the mornings immediately were filled with a lot more vitality for our whole family. At least one of the jobs that your preferred coffee machine does has been added. I won't go into much detail about the coffee that she makes because it's so enchanted. Because there are a lot of different firms who sell coffee machines, I thought it was important to…

Pros
  • A breathtaking appearance that eliminated all other options when shopping for a coffee maker.
Cons
  • I don't think so, and I certainly haven't experienced it.

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Excellent vehicle that satisfies my need for coffee and frothed milk while being simple and attractive. Excellent coffee with little work in your kitchen! I've had Italian, Spanish, and now Vietnamese coffee, so buying high-quality imported coffee is obviously vital. Of course, the taste and strength will differ, but the drink's quality will always be there, which is smeg's true virtue.

Pros
  • The coffee is absolutely excellent! Basic command and carelessness
Cons
  • I've only had it for a little over a month, so I can't yet speak to any drawbacks.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

It's been six months since my coworkers gave me this coffee maker as a gift; before that, I was using a Turk. Excellent if you want ground coffee, but you can also use coffee tablets. Even if a cappuccinatore is available, I prefer to brew my own espresso. Huge storage capacity for water means less frequent filling. Another time-saving feature is that it allows for the distribution of two portions at once.

Pros
  • It is sturdy and little, so it won't take up much room.
Cons
  • I just don't get it.

I've read a lot about this manufacturer and want to mention that their goods are of a very excellent caliber. Excellent coffee maker that blends in well with my decor and is practical and simple to use. Two cups of coffee may be brewed simultaneously, which is perfect for our tiny family. The convenience of the cup warming feature has a considerable impact on the flavor of the brewed coffee.

Pros
  • small sizes
Cons
  • I'm sorry you have to whip the foam by hand.

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

Different pros: The design is simply gorgeous. You can dedicate part of the time for a special ritual - making coffee by hand. It's relaxing. Cons: Difficult to use. Of course, this is not an automatic coffee machine.

Amazing espresso machine 10/10

This espresso machine is so high tech and beautiful that I love it! Yes, it's expensive, but you're paying for the design, name, and style. I love that I can set the temperature of the espresso, the water hardness and the amount of time after use before it shuts off. It also froths milk well and is easy to clean.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • embarrassing

Very high-quality and excellent espresso

This product from Smeg is not only great in design. If you follow the programming instructions and grind the espresso beans very, very finely (and pack very tightly. More than usual with grinding and pounding), you'll get an amazing shot of espresso. The steamer works great and heats up quickly. The car is just great, especially for such a price!

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Reliable machine, best in kitchen and dining room

This machine is very impressive. I have used both freshly ground espresso coffee and coffee pods (both illy and Lavazza). I love the mocha making process. I really like how you can adjust the amount of water for single and double shots to really customize the machine to your preference. Once this is set, you'll be making a drink in no time! Looks don't hurt either.

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
  • Negative impression

No more Starbucks for me.

During the quarantine, I decided to buy an express car. I've heard good things about the Smeg brand so I bought Smeg even though it cost more than I was willing to pay. Now I can enjoy my espresso in the comfort of my own home every morning and prepare it the way I like it. This machine will pay for itself in a few months. The only thing that bothered me a little was that it was made in China. The above review was written shortly after I bought my Smeg. It is now January 2020 and the lights on…

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Price of the money box

daughter liked it! So cute

My daughter loved this gift for her first anniversary. I bought them another brand that was a few hundred dollars cheaper in the same color. There were mixed reviews but I thought I'd take a chance and they broke within the first week. I was so angry. I returned this one and bought smeg. Yes I paid more than I wanted to spend but let me tell you it's worth the extra money. Especially for my daughter who loves espresso and makes espresso coffee several times a week. She used to be a barista so…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

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…

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

I want to love but I can't. It's not me, it's me.

Great product on many levels. However, there are some major downsides that might make someone reconsider spending $500 when there are other viable options at that price point. I only use it to make espresso. I've probably made about 500 2 shot espresso shots since I got it. Good: - heats up quickly - creams and espresso are good - looks cool on the counter - good color choice Poor. - It's a plastic construction, it's basically a mix of quality parts and cheap parts and you can feel that when…

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • No

i really enjoy it!

This machine is amazing and makes great espresso. I bought it for its style, the generally good reviews, and as a replacement for my machine that uses pods. I'm fed up with the capsules and want real espresso. I saw a review where a person said you can't make a good espresso with it no matter how experienced you are and that almost stopped me from buying it. But then I saw the same review everywhere promoting a different coffee maker so I have to wonder if it's legit because I couldn't help but

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
