According to our semi-automatic espresso machine expert
With the SMEG ECF01PBEU Pastel Blue, you can adjust the temperature of an espresso to your liking. By adjusting the water temperature, you'll also be certain that the coffee won't burn, so the aroma of the bean is maintained. Fill the portafilter with freshly-ground coffee or use coffee pods when you're in a hurry. There's a hot plate on the top of the espresso machine. This will preheat your cups, ensuring that your cup of coffee stays hot longer. A powerful espresso is topped off with a thick layer of milk froth by frothing milk with the steam wand. You'll receive a notification when you have to descale the machine. That's very convenient, as you won't have to keep track of this yourself.
Note: it takes time and patience to learn how to prepare a tasty coffee with a piston machine. This isn't nearly as easy as with a fully automatic espresso machine.Built-in coffee grinder | ||

Very fast broken. And of course just outside the warranty period.

Very happy with it after a week of use. Very handy and nice coffee. Super quiet and heats up quickly.

Owned this device for several months: we should have done that sooner! First had a Gaggia fully automatic machine: fine, but now switched to this semi-automatic. More 'work' but what a delicious coffee! (We do not use the steam, we heat the milk with a separate coffee frother). Some of our guests like it best to run two cups of water through the piston with a single coffee filling. Also really nice for those for whom an espresso is just too strong.
