Bought to replace a noisy and rather basic Gaggia grinder. Perceived quality is good and it is reasonably quiet - only problem is the coffee grinding! If you drink espresso or use Moka Express pots as we do, the finest setting is simply not fine enough. On our old Gaggia grinder, we used no 2 or 3 of 16 settings. The Smeg has a rather absurd 30 settings, but the finest is still ‘grains’ rather than ‘powder’. It won’t wake the kids, but then again neither will the coffee be the perfect start to your day.

lovely piece of kit, does the job really well but expensive. You do get what you pay for but im not sure if its worth nearly £200 perhaps £150 would be a fairer price point

Great design and functionality, very easy operation and very quiet easy loading and being able to see when running low on beans. It lost one star for cheap plastic basket support which is grey and flimsy and does not matching colour could be made of slightly nicer plastic to match the brand image and been in black. But otherwise very pleased with my purchase

Really beautiful aesthetically looking retro grinder. Various settings to grind the coffee for all coffee machine types. Solid metal, well made, quality product. Very happy with purchase.

Lovely looking, really easy to use and works well

An excellent addition to the coffee department of our dining room. No complaint here.

Fantastic deal for a fantastic product!! My first Smeg purchase and ao.com had it at a great price! Fast delivery and now I have a great coffee grinder.

A great product from SMEG - great at grinding coffee beans giving you the perfect grind and a lovely looking product too. Delighted with this purchase.
