This drip coffee machine is a good continuation of Smeg’s design style. Unlike other coffee machines, its rounded appearance highlights its retro feel. And there are seven colors for you to choose from. Bright colors can also add to the overall color of the kitchen. The metal material is also durable. The overall look is simple, which highlights the sense of high-end.
Its dimensions are: 10″D x 10″W x 14″H. It doesn’t look very big. In fact, it is relatively tall compared to ordinary drip coffee machines, and it also takes up a larger area. It may be placed in a cabinet. It’s a bit forced.
In addition to the coffee machine itself, the product also contains a reusable filter and a 47-ounce glass water cup. The glass water cup can hold ten small cups of coffee at a time and can be used by multiple people. Both the water tank and adding coffee powder need to be started from the top of the coffee machine. You can see it by opening the top lid. This is where the filter basket is placed. The water level in the water tank cannot be visually seen from above, but the remaining amount in the water tank can be seen from the visible water level on the side. The water tank can hold 1.4 liters of water.
The operation page is also very simple, consisting of four buttons and an LED screen, namely the switch button, the heat preservation function, the aroma button and the four-cup brewing button. Not only does it allow you to have ten cups of coffee at a time, it also allows you to have relatively small amounts of coffee. The keep warm function keeps coffee warm for at least forty minutes.
Test feelings
Since the function is relatively simple, you can start after making sure that the water tank is filled with water and coffee powder is added. Before you start, make sure your water glass is aligned with the water spout. Its default aroma setting is “delicate”, if you want “rich” you need to manually set it again. After preparing these, I pressed the start button, because I didn’t want to use up all the water at once, so I pressed the four-cup case. Soon, half a cup of coffee was ready. When the coffee is ready, the base will automatically turn on the heat preservation function, which is a very considerate feature. But for people who like to drink hot coffee, they need to put it in the microwave to heat it again after a long time. Although it has a heat preservation function, it cannot keep the coffee at a scalding temperature for a long time.
Generally speaking, the operation is relatively simple, and some details are well handled. It is not only a beautiful coffee machine, but also has very practical functions. If you use more fragrant coffee powder, the brewed coffee will be richer.
Price
Its price has always been $229. Compared with other drip coffee machines, the price is on the high side, but if you are a fan of Smeg, then this price should be acceptable to you. After all, its appearance is unlike any ordinary coffee machine, and it is fully functional and practical. Whether it is used as a kitchen match or practicality, it is impeccable.
Suitable for the crowd
If you need to make coffee for multiple people in the morning, but doing it cup by cup is too time-consuming, then this machine is what you are looking for. It can make up to ten cups, and you don’t have to make so many cups every time. Four cups are available, which saves time and can be consumed by many people.
If you are someone who likes latte or other blended coffee, this is not suitable for you, because unlike a coffee machine, this one has no other option but to use coffee fractions for drip extraction.

Operability
The overall operation is very simple, because there are not many functions, so there are only a few buttons for control, and it is easy to understand, and you can basically get started at once.
Tastes
Don’t worry that it can’t make fragrant coffee because of its simple functions. With its filtering technology and temperature control, plus good coffee powder, it will give you a cup of coffee that satisfies you.
Cleaning
This coffee machine also has a new function, that is, it will remind you to descale. When your coffee machine needs to be descaled, it will flash to remind you. You can use baking soda or vinegar to descale. We have also detailed descaling before. You can refer to the scale guide. Just use warm water and dish soap for daily cleaning.
Is it worth buying
I know that the appearance of Smeg is irresistible. If you are a Smeg fan or a retro electrical appliance lover, this is a fatal attraction for you. However, there are two factors that need to be considered before purchasing. It occupies a larger area than an ordinary drip coffee machine, so you must consider sufficient placement space. And its function is relatively simple, it can only make simple coffee, and has no other mixing functions. If you have other needs, it may not be suitable for you. Apart from that, it is a perfect enough machine with meticulous attention to detail. I believe owning it will not only save you time but also make the kitchen full of style.
