There are few things more sacred than that first sip of coffee in the morning. For me, and perhaps for you too, it's a moment of calm before the madness of the day begins to unfold, so I protect it fiercely. Over the years, I've invested in lots of gadgets and gizmos to enhance my coffee experience, but it really comes back to the coffee machine that you own, especially the ones that look beautiful to.
That's why Smeg's ECF03 has more than piqued my interest. After launching their most affordable accessory yet (a stunning milk frother), the Italian brand have bought more than a touch of elegance to the coffee market. Their cold brew function and surprisingly reassuring price tag sets this up for competition as one of the best coffee machines and now they've made theirs even better.
