Smeg ECF01PBUK 50's retro style espresso coffee machine, stainless steel filter holder, an anti-drip system, 1L, Pastel Blue

If you want a good espresso this is the coffee machine I would recommend. Filter holder is a bit stiff to attach when first used but after a couple of uses no problem The machine is very well made and would look good in any kitchen.

This is exactly what I wanted: a traditional, no-gimmick, no fancy lights or displays, Italian coffee machine. This ticks all the boxes for me. I love the fact that it's manual and I can tweak my coffee to my liking and it looks so good! I would recommend it for lovers of...

Looks trendy. Very quick warm up and ready for use. However, the filter holder doesn't get warm so coffee passes through cold metal. Filter holder is small so good for making expresso but not so good for larger americanos.
