Smeg is known for its iconic retro style appliances, but the brand also makes some pretty stylish modern appliances too. And the Smeg Bean to Cup Coffee Machine with Automatic Milk Frother is one such appliance. That said, the best coffee machines aren’t born purely from good looks, what’s inside matters.
The previous version of this Smeg bean to cup coffee machine was equipped with a steam wand so you had to steam and texture the milk yourself. This newer iteration has an automatic milk frother and an expanded selection of drinks to choose from. I’m testing it to find out if these upgrades will propel it into our list of the best bean-to-cup coffee machines.
