The coffee machine is really easy to use and makes great, smooth espresso with a lovely crema layer. The only downside is the steam wand is slightly too short and it takes a long time to cool down once you have used the steam. Despite that, I would recommend this coffee machine as it not only produces great coffee but is very aesthetically pleasing with the retro style.

Excellent item, great customer service.

Wow a lovely piece of kit, looks great, it's nice and compact and makes amazing Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte's with superb cream layer every time and excellent frothy milk. It lost a star because of 4 minor issues the steam arm is quite short so larger 650ml milk jugs are difficult to fit under the arms to get to the milk, it is fairly difficult to programme as only flashing lights, it is a pressured basket system and once you have made a single cappuccino and frothed the milk it takes ages to cool down to make another one so you have to turn it off and on to reset it. But otherwise very happy with it.

Lovely and stylish looking coffee machine. Only problem is it really only makes one coffee with steamed milk, then needs a rest before making a second cup. This is my second purchase of this machine, and it was the same with the first one too. So not a good machine if you want to make several coffees! But having said that, it does generally make a good cup of coffee!

Wonderful product, so glad I splashed out the extra for Smeg. Looks great in the kitchen and makes perfect coffee every time. Really easy to use steam nozzle too.

Love it, looks great in my new kichen and very easy to use

Beautiful looking machine. Pretty easy to use if you're used to espresso machines, and makes a lovely espresso with a great creme. Havent tried it with the pods yet, just ground coffee. Can't really fault it.

Absolutely thriled with my Smeg Espresso machine. Just the thing for working from home during lockdown. Looks stylish and complements my other Smeg kitchen appliances. Makes fantastic Latter's and saves me a fortune not having to nip out to Starbucks. Easy to use and maintain. What more can I say!
