Adding to Smeg’s renowned and beloved range of coffee machines, the all-new Espresso Coffee Machine
with Grinder is the latest design, delivering the full coffee process for coffee connoisseurs. The exciting new
Espresso Machine includes the ability to grind coffee beans, create two espressos at once and froth milk to
perfection, irradicating the need for other appliances and perfectly creating a full coffee menu. The
curvaceous, retro finish remains true to Smeg’s unique style whilst the high-performing design embraces
the brand’s Italian heritage.
A crucial first step in the coffee-making process, a 250g capacity bean hopper holds the beans ready for
grinding. The beans’ texture can be customised with a simple turn of the hopper; rotate clockwise for a
finer finish and flavour of greater intensity or anti-clockwise for a coarser grind and more subtle taste. The
EGF03 has a superfine grind capability, thanks to stainless steel conical grinders which offer an even and
smooth coffee that preserves all aromas, brewed from the sleekest possible Espresso machine. To clean,
simply remove the top grinder for utlimate convenience.
Before brewing, the stainless steel upper tray gently warms a mug placed on top thanks to a pre-warm
setting when switched on, keeping the ensuing coffee piping hot for longer. A professional, stainless steel
58mm portafilter makes it possible to prepare coffee like a barista, with both pressurised and nonpressurised filters allowing a perfectly personalised espresso to be made in home comfort. A specialist
pressure gauge gives optimal extraction according to each person’s espresso requirements, making for the
ultimate customised cup of coffee. Simply select a single or double espresso pre-set function on the grinder
and espresso settings to enjoy your coffee by yourself or in company.
The EGF03 also features a rotation steam wand and accompanying 450ml stainless steel milk jug, with a
lever to customise to individual needs. The dual Thermoblock heating system, one dedicated to the coffee
circuit and one to the milk circuit, ensures that the steam function is always ready after the coffee has been
brewed, avoiding waiting times for milk frothing. For an extra hot coffee, a clockwise rotation adds hot
water to a drink, whereas a counter-clockwise turn warms, steams and froths milk at different intensities.
Offering the highest frothing level, the perfect cappuccino foam made by professional baristas can easily be
replicated at home for a true Italian-style coffee.
With personalisation at its heart, multiple technical functions have been expertly designed to further
enhance every cup of coffee the EGF03 produces. The hardness of local water is accounted for and can be
adapted to, spanning across soft, medium, hard and very hard settings to create the best tasting coffee
possible, no matter the location. Smeg also offers multiple preinfusion profile settings, accounting for
differing tastes to deliver a coffee at the drinker’s optimal strength and flavouring, with preinfusion profiles
ranging across four different settings, including short, standard, long and progressive pre-infusions.
Available in range of six colourways, including the brand’s iconic pastel shades and classic cream and black
styles, the new Espresso machine is a standout appliance in any kitchen and features a distinctive design
born from a collaboration with the deepdesign® studio of Matteo Bazzicalupo and Raffaella Mangiarotti.
Smeg retains the popular glossy finish and beautifully curved aesthetic, making it not only a technicallyadvanced addition to the brand’s espresso offering but a stylish enhancement to kitchens. The EGF03 also
beautifully matches Smeg’s extensive retro offering, making it the ideal addition to kitchens which also
feature a stunning ‘50s style FAB fridge or retro countertop appliances like Smeg’s toasters and kettles.
Whether you prefer a maximalist colour-clashing design aesthetic, or a cohesive black and white finish for
more contemporary kitchens, Smeg delivers the ultimate final flourish. Combined with the polished
stainless-steel splashback, upper and drip tray, the coffee machine’s sophisticated design takes pride of
place on countertops, whether it’s a stand-out appliance or the finishing touch to a cohesive Smeg kitchen.
The Manual Espresso Coffee Machine with Grinder will be available from September 2023 from
shop.smeguk.com, Smeg’s flagship store and selected stockists, retailing for £849.95.
