    The espresso machine is very expensive, but well, you pay for the brand. Apart from the price, there are no disadvantages. It is easy to clean and operate. It is comfortable and well made. I love the coffee with frothed milk it makes.

  2. Jiji Field

    There are cheaper coffee machines that perform the same function. I thought it would be better. It only supports small cups, the frother is difficult to handle and not very handy, and the machine heats the milk with great difficulty. In a word, unnecessary expense.

    A wonderful coffee machine. I am delighted. The milk froths super. The coffee is delicious. You can arrange the coffee according to your own taste. I do not understand the opinion that it is cold. The water temperature can be set in the settings, as can the hardness. The coffee machine cleans itself. After coffee with milk, you can also set the frother to clean automatically. Divine is what is a lot to say 🙂 looks very nice. It looks beautiful in my kitchen (I have black). It’s not loud at all. Of course you can hear the grinder having coffee but that’s normal for me. The only drawback is that the metal tray is scratching after a few coffees, unfortunately. In addition, all containers for water, coffee grounds or milk are very easy to remove 🙂 Summing up, I recommend it 🙂

  4. Warren Baker

    I’ve been using this model for about two months. I brew 1-5 coffees a day, mostly lattes. I really like the latte from it 🙂 It is easy to use. The necessary activities, such as cleaning the grounds container, cleaning the milk system, replacing the filter, descaling or filling the water tank, are reminded by the displayed messages.

    A large selection of different types of coffee, the possibility of getting hot water (you can brew tea) or hot milk (you can make hot cocoa). Option to brew a pot of coffee for a larger group of coffee lovers. Numerous options for changing the settings / personalizing coffees – brewing temperature, grinding thickness, aroma intensity, amount of drink, One of the smaller yet neat coffee machines, fits in the kitchen with less free space.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the recommended descaling schedule for my Smeg ECF01 coffee maker, and how do I perform this process?

The recommended descaling schedule for your Smeg ECF01 coffee maker is every 3 months or when indicated on your machine's display. Descaling is essential to keep your machine running efficiently and prolong its lifespan by removing mineral deposits caused by hard water.

Here's how you can perform the descaling process:

1. Prepare a descaling solution: You can buy a ready-made descaling solution from any store that sells coffee makers or make your own by mixing 4 tablespoons of white vinegar with 2 liters of water.

2. Fill the water tank: Pour the prepared descaling solution into the water tank until it's full.

3. Start the descale cycle: Turn on your coffee maker and select the "descale" option or press any button repeatedly until you see "descaling" appear on the display screen. If there is no "descaling" option, run a brewing cycle with the descaling solution in the water tank.

4. Wait for the process to complete: Let your coffee maker descale itself by running through its normal processes while using the descaling solution instead of water. This will help eliminate any mineral build-up inside the machine.

5. Drain and rinse: Once the descale cycle is finished, turn off the machine and let it cool down for about 10 minutes. After cooling, open up the water tank and drain out any remaining solution. Fill the tank with clean water and run another brewing cycle to rinse your coffee maker thoroughly.

6. Check if descaling is complete: Pour some hot water from the coffee maker into a cup or directly down the sink until you can no longer smell the vinegar scent.

7. Return to regular use: Once you've completed the steps above, your Smeg ECF01 coffee maker is ready for regular use again!

Remember that if you live in an area with hard water, it might be necessary to descale more frequently than every 3 months. Keep an eye on your machine and follow the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure optimal performance.
