5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful coffee maker
I love this coffee maker as I've got the toaster and kettle to match. It looks so good in my kitchen.
1.0 out of 5 stars not hot coffee
This machine does not provide really hot coffee it is always luke warm however long you leave it on the hotplate for. Not happy as it was not cheap.
3.0 out of 5 stars Form over function
I bought this drip coffee maker to match other SMEG kitchen items. It looks nice and makes perfectly decent coffee, just as good as the cheap coffee maker it replaced. However, there are a few niggly issues which people should be aware of. The aperture where you add water is quite small and if you are using the coffee jug with the measures, e.g. 2 cups 4 cups et cetera, then it is impossible to empty it fully into the coffee maker because it clashes with a coffee maker lid. I usually end up dribbling water everywhere. Also, when pouring heated coffee out, again it is very difficult to pour without dribbling. None of this is a major problem but the £30 coffee maker is replaced was much better, but of course it didn’t have the words Smeg written across the front.!

Easy to use great quality!
4.0 out of 5 stars Good looking but rather slow and difficult to fill.
We bought the Smeg drip coffee machine to replace an old Bodum machine which, on good day made excellent coffee quickly, but had a random habit of overflowing for no obvious reason. After five years of mopping coffee off kitchen surfaces, we decided it was time to buy a more reliable machineThis Smeg is a pleasingly solid looking machine, nice and compact for a small kitchen. We bought the cream colour which matches our Dualit kettle and toaster and all three have a pleasant retro 50's feel. Good looks, however, do not guarantee good design.Setting up involves plugging in, then setting the clock, and hardness of water setting. This was a bit fiddly to do, but you could always just leave it on default. I live in a rural area with frequent power cuts. As luck would have it, one occurred while I was typing this review. When power was restored, I checked the Smeg and was delighted to discover the settings had not reverted to default, so outtages of just a few minutes will not mean I have to reset each time.I prefer a water tank that can be removed and taken to the tap, rather than bringing the water to the tank, but the Smeg's water tank is fixed. it is at the back of the machine with a rather narrow aperture. I found it wasn't possible to use the coffee jug to fill it, so I had to use my own plastic measuring jug.It takes ten minutes to make a full pot of coffee on the high aroma setting. Our old Bodum took just seven. The hot plate will keep the coffee warm for 40 minutes and seems to work well. The coffee jug is glass; I would prefer an insulated jug to save power.There is a 4 cup setting, which I've tried and works perfectly. I haven't tried the timer yet, but it could be useful when entertaining. The permanent filter and its holder are easy to remove for cleaning and filling.Is it worth the money when you can buy a drip coffee machine for as little as £35? That is difficult to say. My experience with cheaper appliances is that they have a shorter life-span, so there is little saving in the long run, but on the other hand I could buy 5 of the cheapest popular brand for the price of one Smeg.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic service
Fantastic service, quick delivery and very competitively priced. Would highly recommend 😀
Great quality / smeg is the way to go
The machine is beautiful, I can say iconic! Everything is wonderful specially the auto scheduled coffee I brew daily. When pouring the water is very limited space only down fall but overall I’m ok with that. Waking up to coffee smell is the best
WASTE OF $
The price on these do not justify it only working a mere 6 months. Obviously tried "troubleshooting" options to no avail. Will reach out to the seller hopefully they will make it right by either refund or exchanging for one that works. Will update...
