There is no doubt that this is a Smeg Drip Coffee Maker as opposed to any other brand. Available in 9 different colors, It’s all retro-chrome and curves. Mine is a bright primary red, and it makes a bold statement on a countertop. The ten-cup capacity, warming plate, and programmable timer place this coffee maker a step above some of the more basic models.
Testing this coffee maker was bizarre for me. As a barista, I’m used to grinding, tamping, locking, and frothing. The best drip coffee makers don’t require any of this, especially Smeg’s. All this coffee maker needed me to do was press a button. If I programmed it with my coffee routine, I wouldn’t even need to do that.
