This looks lovely and makes good coffee but for such an expensive machine it's very poorly designed. The lid only opens to a 90 angle and the carafe sides are straight not curved like most filter coffee machines. The combination of the two means it's impossible to completely empty the carafe into the machine. You need to overfill the jug and throw the last fluid ounce or two away. Clearly that's not an onerous task but it seems like a gratuitous waste of water. I thought by buying Smeg I'd be getting top of the range design to match the top of the range price but this seems like they've put form over function.

Excellent Kettle, powder coating brilliant blue matches the coffee pot Excellent value get what paid for

Great product , easy to use.

Does what it says on the tin

Excellent looking 50's style coffee machine, its coffee tastes as good as the machine looks

Really simple to use and love the timer function for my early starts. It would be nice to have a re-heat function as well as keep-warm

Love this product, easy to use but quite large, hard to fill when under kitchen units

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.
