Smeg DCF02CRUK Drip Coffee Machine, Auto-Start Mode, Reuseable Filter, Digital Display, Anti-Drip System, Aroma Intensity Option, 1.4 Litre Tank, Cream

Such a good coffee machine. Makes really good coffee. The functions are mostly easy to work out how to use if you follow the instructions on the manual. It's also really attractive on the countertop! Only gripe is that it only keeps your coffee warm for 45 mins, would prefer it to be longer. Would recommend.

Fantastic, looks great and very easy to use & clean. Is slightly on the expensive side but worth it.

We bought the Smeg drip coffee machine to replace an old Bodum machine which, on good day made excellent coffee quickly, but had a random habit of overflowing for no obvious reason. After five years of mopping coffee off kitchen surfaces, we decided it was time to buy a more reliable machine This Smeg is a pleasingly solid looking machine, nice and compact for a small kitchen. We bought the cream colour which matches our Dualit kettle and toaster and all three have a pleasant retro 50's feel. Good looks, however, do not guarantee good design. Setting up involves plugging in, then setting the clock, and hardness of water setting. This was a bit fiddly to do, but you could always just leave it on default. I live in a rural area with frequent power cuts. As luck would have it, one occurred while I was typing this review. When power was restored, I checked the Smeg and was delighted to discover the settings had not reverted to default, so outtages of just a few minutes will not mean I have to reset each time. I prefer a water tank that can be removed and taken to the tap, rather than bringing the water to the tank, but the Smeg's water tank is fixed. it is at the back of the machine with a rather narrow aperture. I found it wasn't possible to use the coffee jug to fill it, so I had to use my own plastic measuring jug. It takes ten minutes to make a full pot of coffee on the high aroma setting. Our old Bodum took just seven. The hot plate will keep the coffee warm for 40 minutes and seems to work well. The coffee jug is glass; I would prefer an insulated jug to save power. There is a 4 cup setting, which I've tried and works perfectly. I haven't tried the timer yet, but it could be useful when entertaining. The permanent filter and its holder are easy to remove for cleaning and filling. Is it worth the money when you can buy a drip coffee machine for as little as £35? That is difficult to say. My experience with cheaper appliances is that they have a shorter life-span, so there is little saving in the long run, but on the other hand I could buy 5 of the cheapest popular brand for the price of one Smeg.

Easy to operate. Easy to clean. Looks great.

I am not a coffee drinker but my husband is. Although this is replacing a bean to cup ugly black coffee maker he still likes the coffee. As a non coffee drinker, it fits the aesthetic of my Farrow and Ball Teresa's Green kitchen being an intense version of the sane colour.

Bought this on recommendation of 2 people and I’m not disappointed. It is easy to use, very quick and straightforward to clean. Keeps the coffee warm for 30 minutes. Slight downside is pouring the water in as it’s almost at right angle and can spill a bit, but it certainly isn’t a huge problem. I would recommend this product.

Sadly this isn’t as great as I’d hoped. - When filling the top with water, if you use the coffee pot itself, you can’t get the last bit of water out due to the curved design of the pot. - coffee is hot, but not boiling. By the time you’ve put milk in it cools it enough to drink straight away. - the 10 cup suggestion is very misleading. It’s not even four big mugs. - the half fill option gets you one and a half cups - forty minute keep warm isn’t enough. My last machine did two hours (and had a larger volume capacity - sigh, I do miss it) - we keep ours turned off at the mains unless using. This means you have to wait one minute before it will allow you to start the machine. Overall I’m not really impressed for the price - just don’t tell my husband!

Quality bit of kit that looks great in any kitchen!
