Smeg ECF01

 Smeg is an espresso coffee maker machine 2020 – and the result is the ECF01. While it’s a manual coffee machine that will appeal to hardcore home baristas, there’s also some fiendishly clever tech beneath that curvaceous Cadillac-esque body. And it just happens to make a cracking cup o’ joe.

Smeg ECF01 – Design and Features

The company is wonderfully consistent in its styling, harking back to a golden age with that trademark glossy paintwork over sweeping curves, accented by shiny chrome. You could imagine Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall brewing up with this thing before jumping in a T-bird and tearing to the studio – and yet it also looks wonderfully timeless.


The Smeg is available in cream, red, blue, or black. I tested the latter. And hell, does it look classy. The surface is polished to a perfect sheen and those chrome letters across the machine’s bulbous head make it look a million dollars. Where the Gaggia Classic looks industrial and workmanlike, as though it should be sat behind a coffee shop counter, the Smeg is a beautiful object designed for a home. OK, for a show-home in Stepford, maybe. But that doesn’t mean it skimps on practicality in any way, seemingly being a supercharged version of the DeLonghi Dedica.


Let’s start with the water reservoir, which has a 1-liter capacity. It’s completely detachable, but also has a lid that can lift off so you can refill it from the top without having to move the machine.

The drip tray, meanwhile, has a clever indicator to tell you when it needs emptying. Even better, the indicator is a little red tab that pops out of a slit below two little eye-like holes, making it look like a cheeky tongue sticking out of a B-movie robot’s face.

You can leave the tray off altogether if you’re using taller cups and mugs – the area underneath has been designed for just that purpose, with its own little removable drip tray. It’s surprising how many machines require you to plonk a mug straight in the tray with the grille removed, so props to Smeg. There’s also a cup-warming surface on the ECF01’s top that’s large enough for two cups, and a de-calc alarm that will let you know when the machine’s in need of a clean to keep it running optimally.

Accessories in the box are pretty standard. There are three portafilter inserts – for one cup with grounds, two cups with grounds, or an ESE pod – and a combined spoon and tamper. The tamper is just molded plastic but does the job.

The controls are fairly minimal. There’s a power button towards the back of the right-hand side of the base, which is probably the only design misstep. It’s flush-fitted and isn’t always easy to see, feel, or reach, depending on where the machine’s placed. Also on the right-hand side is a reassuringly chunky metal lever for the steam release. On the top of the machine at the front, there are LED-lit buttons for single-cup or double-cup dispensing, plus one for the steam mode. Another clever touch is that, by holding down either of the coffee buttons until you’ve filled your cup to the desired level, the ECF01 will remember to pop out exactly the same amount of coffee next time. Neat.

Internally, the Smeg Thermoblock technology but to help it switch with minimal delay between brewing coffee and jetting out steam. After turning the machine on, the lights on its buttons only flash for a matter of seconds before steadying to signify the ECF01 is ready for action. No, really – it takes seconds, not minutes. About 40 seconds to reach operating temperature is just astonishing.

Melitta AromaFresh Grind and Brew

Image
 What is the Melitta AromaFresh Grind and Brew? An espresso coffee maker machine 2020 can give you a wide choice of coffee, but the humble filter machine arguably gives you a purer experience, delivering rich and tasty coffee in larger volumes. In Melitta AromaFresh Grind and Brew you can just tap a button and you’re good to go. High-quality coffee and simple controls make this the ultimate in convenience for filter-coffee lovers. Melitta AromaFresh Grind and Brew. Design The Melitta AromaFresh Grind and Brew looks great. Tall and thin (515 x 312 x 302mm), this model is a little taller than a traditional filter coffee machine, but not by much. Given the integrated grinder, that’s pretty impressive. Melitta has done a good job on the design front, too. On the side of the machine is the clear water tank, with marks for cups of coffee between two and 10. Melitta assumes a cup of coffee is 150ml in this case, giving a total water capacity of 1.5 litres.It’s a shame that the water tank...

Nespresso Pixie

Image
  The   Nespresso Pixie   was without doubt the simplest capsule machine in our test.  It is small in size and the design is industrially scaled down. The machine will probably appeal to most people due to its stainless steel details.  But its minimalist size is no bar to the Pixie being a well-designed capsule espresso coffee maker machine 2020 . The Pixie features the same smooth functions as the larger Nespresso machine, plus a number of other intelligent features . For example, the Nespresso Pixie has a white backlight that changes to red to warn you when the water tank is empty. The cup stand is also very good; it can be raised easily when a larger cup needs to be used and also acts as a drip tray. Overall, you rarely need to look in the instruction manual when using the Nespresso as you intuitively know how to use it – and that’s what good design should be about. When the Nespresso Pixie is lit up you get a glimpse of the contents of the capsule container...
