    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).

    Disappointed
    Less than a month old and the machine is not pushing water through the filter cups. Tried resetting and cleaning etc. Unfortunately this looks like a common issue with this machine. Now without a coffee machine until this is resolved.
