Cannot wait to make coffee in my Smeg! Love my Smeg. Looks great with my Smeg toaster and blender. From past reviews I hesitated. I must have gotten a new version. My coffee is piping hot, beeper can be shut off and silenced, hot plate shuts off in one hour, I pour in my filtered water no problem. Iâm not sure what is not to like. I Love it!
Pretty but not worth $200 Other than looks, machine has very basic features that you can get with a $30 coffee maker. Strange set-up design with a knob on the side that seems easy to break off. I got rid of the plastic taste someone else complained about by running water through it 6-7 times, but ultimately returned the unit because the keep warm function didn’t work when the machine was auto programmed. What’s the point of setting up coffee for the morning when you get to the kitchen and it’s only lukewarm? The keep…
5 stars for looks. No one has mentioned yet but there is a terrible plastic taste. For the price I would have expected steel, or something other than a plastic reservoir. Since there are not many cream coffee makers and this is easily the most attractive of them, I’m gonna try to make it work. Although it is attractive, it’s a little more complex than I would have liked and the plastic is a big miss for me. I don’t think it’s worth the money unless you really love the way it looks.
