Smeg 50's レトロピンクドリップコーヒーマシン

The color is perfect. It makes good coffee. I like the built in coffee filter. It’s super stylish. I love the retro look. If I had to pick a negative, it would be that I wish the handle of the pot was a little more sturdy. For the price, it should be. But I can’t help how much I love it!

I think most people, like me, are buying this for the aesthetic. However, the coffee is not very hot. It’s barely warm. It does make good coffee, it tastes fine. But at this price I don’t want to have to stick my mug in the microwave after waiting for a pot to brew.

This is a fabulous coffee maker! I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and I want to address a few of the concerns. The coffee is appropriately hot when it comes out of the pot. The burner stays on for an hour and can be turned back on to keep it warm. We have no problem pouring water into the maker. This machine is solid construction and the look is wonderfully retro. We got the pink for our pastel decor lake cottage kitchen and it is perfect! It is a 10 cup maker so not as many as others but we plan on using a carafe and making several pots when multiple guests visit. The coffee tastes amazing too! I would highly recommend this maker.

I've read the reviews and after a year, I finally purchased it. Let me say. For all the reviews that mentioned that it's hard filling the water reserve using the coffee pot and that it's not hot enough to drink. This is what I have to say in the matter. YES, you will need to use another container to fill the water and it's no BIG deal. I use a measuring cup and it works great, no spills and it pours right in. The temp of the coffee was perfect for me. But I do not like to drink scalding water. If you want your coffee hotter, you can use a microwave and PRESTO hotter coffee. The 60 mins time limit for the warmer tray is a bit of a bummer (I do like the two hours), but it's not a deal breaker. Again microwave for a few seconds and we once again have hotter than hot coffee. The Smeg is easy to program and it looks great. Kinda reminds me of a Dalek. I got pink (and it was hard to choose a color because I liked them all), and it looks striking next to my turquoise Keurig.

I love the color pink and really like the old fashioned look. The coffee pot works well, you don't have to use coffee filters which I loved and you can make only half a pot if you like. 2 things about this coffee pot that just don't work well. 1. The lid leaks coffee all of the counter when you pour coffee 90 percent of the time. I don't care how you put the lid on it happens. I hate it. 2. Pouring water in the back is very difficult. The lid is in the way. They say in the instructions to open the lid all the way to make pouring easy... bull doesn't work. You have to lean the coffee pot back to pour the water. The coffee pot looks great on your counter but definitely has design flaws. I kept it because I really wanted it to work it's so cute, but when this one dies I will not buy another one.
