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.

Crema, Crema, Crema!
The Smeg espresso machine pulls a fantastic shot of either your personally favorite ground coffee ( mine is a Barista Bean) but an ESE paper pod will do the trick. Either way, this machine is a keeper amongst all my other machines. Smeg advertises theyâre a leader and now I know why. They offer 3 sizes for your favorite shot. Mine is a dupio times two every morning. I definitely recommend getting a Smeg for your collection or for a beginner is quite an investment. Three cheers for Smeg!

Machine isnât just beautiful it makes great espresso and cappuccino
Iâm 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. Donât 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. Iâm excited again for an early cappuccino. I highly recommend this machine. Itâs expensive but it makes great consistent coffee. This is my 3rd machine and by far the best. Iâm so glad I got it. . âð»

Daughter Loved it!! So Cute
Daughter loved it for her first Anniversary present. I had bought them another brand that was a couple hundred dollars cheaper in the same color. Had mixed reviews But thought Iâd take the chance and it broke on them the first week. I was so upset. I returned that one and bought a smeg. Yes I paid more then I wanted to spend but let me tell you well worth the extra money. Especially for my daughter who is a espresso snob and makes espresso coffee several times a week. She used to be a barista so she knows her stuff. She was very happy with this brand and model. Said it made strong coffee verses the other one I had originally purchased for her. I stick by my motto- you get what you pay for!

Good not Great
There are things I don’t like about this espresso machine but then again I knew about these things from other reviews before I purchased it. The tamper is plastic and cheap so I ordered a different metal one… But it’s a smeg and looks great on the counter next to my other smeg appliances and does the job of making an espresso just fine.

Too expensive to break after the 3rd use
I don’t know if I received a dud or its a product defect, but my machine came in an undamaged box and everything appeared fine. It didn’t make as good a cup of coffee as I would have hoped. I found better value in a cuisinart that I was given several years ago. The strength of the espresso just isn’t where it should be when I use this machine. There seems to be a clog or a back up in the spouts, that is for the first three times. I went to use it a fourth time and the entire machine lit up. I tried resetting, cleaning and resetting again, leaving it off for a month and then booting it back up but now it won’t even light up, it just remains off. The power cord seems fine, it was pretty clear to be a circuit problem inside the machine, in addition to it not making a very good cup in the first place. Im disappointed, I have a smeg toaster to match and I love it.

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.

Machine looks great and produces an espresso very quickly. It takes less than a minute to heat up and brew your first espresso. Definitely recommend.
