    Overview

    When Smeg’s espresso coffee machine won the 2017 GOOD DESIGN Award for excellence in design and innovation, it beat out more than 500 entries. It’s not often you’ll find a manual espresso machine with such a small footprint—this is one compact caffeinator.

    With just three buttons before you—single shot, double shot, steam—getting your daily coffee fix is easier than ever. Use the adjustable steam wand to give your milk heat and aeration and, with the stainless steel filter basket, you’ll feel the full autonomy of a barista.

    Available in five vibrant colours, this machine gives you plenty of opportunity to express—or is that espress?—yourself.
    Diverse colour finishes

    Smeg are as attentive to form as they are to functionality, with an aesthetic inspired by the pop art movement and iconic Italian design. When these coffee machines aren’t busy hissing, they can be shown off and coordinated with the toasters and kettles in their family. From subdued pastels to more intense, popping tones, there’s a finish to suit every personality.

    Compact profile

    Some manual coffee machines can be accused of hogging benchtop space, but this unit will leave plenty of room for your other small appliances. With a single group head, a steam wand, and a small drip tray, there’s not much to this machine. That doesn’t mean it can’t pump out a seriously good coffee.

    Three-button control

    Don’t worry if you have zero barista experience; you only need to learn three buttons to convert your beans into beverages. Located on the top of the unit, buttons for single shot, double shot, and steam make it simple to prepare your favourite coffee drinks.

    Steam wand

    The manual milk frother will allow you to achieve the perfect microfoam, and you can submerge the wand for longer to get a hotter coffee. Invite your friends around and show off your finest latte art (with a quality coffee underneath, of course).

    Fell in love with the shape and colour
    When I saw this SMEG Red 50s style coffee machine I fell in love. It didn't take up a huge amount of bench space in my small kitchen. It's a basic machine, doesn't grind beans, doesn't automatically froth milk like more expensive units but it makes very good coffee is super easy to operate and is easily adjusted as to the amount of water, coffee you want to dispense each time. My only issue, and it probably says more about me than the unit, is I have trouble positioning the twist on coffee dispenser, so much so that I spilled coffee everywhere this morning . Since this is only my 3rd time using I will go easy on both of us and assume I will get better at it.
