Was so looking forward to getting this coffee machine but am a bit disappointed with the following the water gauge on the side a bit difficult to see you have to turn the machine around to see it. The lid doesn’t open far enough to be able to fill with water. The on switch has to be held in for a long time before it turns on. However it does brew a nice coffee.

Its great , coffee tastes nice and keeps warm, easy to use, simply to unpack and looks perfect ?? on my kitchen island, color is clear and matching my others equipment.

Lovely machine and easy to use!

Great design, easy to use and set up.

This is a gorgeous item - the retro style is on point and matches perfectly with the other Smeg items in this range. Not only is the build quality good, but this is actually easy and straightforward to operate and to clean. I highly recommend this, but suggest that before you buy, measure how much space you have against the dimensions of the machine - it is bigger than you think

Easy to use, easy to clean and makes a lovely pot of fresh brewed coffee. So glad I bought

Really disappointed with the temperature of the coffee, I can’t normally drink hot drinks straight away, but this machine does not make hot coffee. If you want to site and relax over a long drink this machine is not for you. Do a search outside AO and you will see lots of comments on this and confusing info re the hot plate re 4 cups! Yes the machine looks great, but negatives, cable is short, filling with water is not that easy, the water level on the side is difficult to see. Some basics not designed out, too much focus on looking good rather than providing hot coffee. Returned unit for refund. Just as well AO priced matched, it’s really not worth the list price.

Amazing coffee machine and even better service. AO were some accommodating with the deluvery time and date, and even swapped the machine for a different colour when requested. The Smeg does everything you could need it to and looks classy in my kitchen.
