Smeg Espresso Coffee Machine With Cold Brew Function, Blue One Colour

Cold brew in around 2 minutes is the party trick here, and this Smeg espresso machine handles the hot side just as happily. Pull the lever and the 15-bar pump pushes water through a 58-millimetre portafilter, the same size used behind a café counter, while the analogue pressure gauge on the front shows you exactly what the shot is doing as it pours. Thermoblock heating holds the brewing temperature steady from one cup to the next, and the professional steam wand froths milk for a cappuccino without much practice needed. The 1650 Watts element sits behind a stainless steel body that measures 364mm wide, so it slots in under most wall cupboards on the worktop. The 1.4-litre tank lifts straight out for refilling at the tap, which saves a bit of juggling first thing in the morning.
