Rogelio Sotolongo: I’ve got this coffee machine in 2021 and out of many I had before this one is the best.
So easy to use, to clean, to maintain.
I convinced my friends to get the same coffee machine and they all are very happy with purchase.
Now I’m thinking to get a kettle and toaster from Smeg. It’s a bit expensive but totally worth of purchasing.

Jeffrey mastroJeffrey mastro: I’m not new to making espresso. The consistency of this machine is on point. The espresso not watery and crema is amazing. The flavor is full every time. By time I wake up and press the on button I have a cappuccino in 3 minutes. Don’t pack it to much. There are extra setting to turn a single shot a little longer or shorter and the same for a double shot. The machine will turn off automatically after 9 minutes although you can set it for 30 or like 3 hrs automatic turn off which is great for an early riser like me. I Also can adjust the temperature of the water I like mine super hot.

Nothing much to it at all. I’m excited again for an early cappuccino. I highly recommend this machine. It’s expensive but it makes great consistent coffee. This is my 3rd machine and by far the best. I’m so glad I got it. . ✌🏻

kelly g.: I bought this espresso machine a little less than four years ago and I've used it nearly every day, so at least 1400 shots. I am not terribly disappointed that the machine is failing now when I think about the use of it over time. I looked around at replacing this machine, and ouch did the price go up about 20%. Next I thought about repairing this one since it matches the rest of the appliances already. I watched a couple of videos online and bought a replacement valve off Amazon for $10. Turns out that the inside of this machine is exactly the same as the inside of almost every other 15 - 20 bar espresso maker on the market today. It is not the easiest fix since the housing is plastic, but overall I felt confident enough to repair it.

I have the four slice toaster, the tea kettle, and the espresso maker. I replaced the tea kettle when it was about four years old too, because Smeg would not sell me just the base for it, so four years of use from the espresso maker isn't worth the extra money to me. These appliances are pretty to look at, but they function the same as models that I've had ten or more years of use from for less money. I am beginning to phase out Smeg's small...

Kaileigh Crabbe: The espresso function is great but the steam wand is weak, if you want to make any microfoam for lattes this is not the machine. For $900 I wanted more out of it besides espresso and pretty.

Warren 416: So far, we love it. We own a few SMEG appliances and find them to be of superior quality. Our old machine (Kitchen Aid) quit after two years, so we opted for something of higher quality. SMEG puts a lot of features into their products. This has an automatic shutoff if you forget to do that, and it has a pre-measured pour that you can adjust to fit your own cups. The steamer works very well and it looks great on our breakfast table. It even takes up less space than our old machine.

Tim D.Tim D.: This machine is fantastic and makes wonderful espresso. I bought it for its styling, overall good reviews, and to replace a machine I had that uses pods. I’m over the pods and want genuine espresso. I’ve seen a review where the person said you can’t make a good espresso with this no matter how skilled you may be, and that almost put me off buying it. But then I saw the same exact review everywhere touting another machine so I have to wonder if it’s legit because I couldn’t disagree more.

My espresso shots come out beautifully dark with a long-lasting, reddish-brown crema. I specifically use espresso roast coffee beans that I grind fresh. I bought a solid, metal tamper, too, and that helped get the perfect shot for me. The machine allows some pretty cool programmable functions like adjusting shot size. Just keep the book so you know how to program it. The factory settings are great out of the box though. The frother works like a charm but takes some practice to master. I like that part of it is removable to accommodate taller cups; not something I use much but it’s nice to have the option. And it’s one sharp looking machine on my counter. It has the character I...
