SMEG has launched a new espresso coffee machine that can prepare hot and cold, producing a single shot extracted in just two minutes.
The SMEG ECF03 is the latest incorporation into the range of espresso coffee manufacturers, sitting next to Smeg Mini Pro and BCC13, but with a form of inspiration of 60 curves and a selection of six colors.
Choose your red, black and white classic, or opt for pastel cream, pale blue or cream: soft colors inspired by ice cream that are one of the largest kitchen trends at this time.
Kitchenaid initiated the fashion of caramel color appliances when he revealed creamy milk as its official tone of 2025, and the trend does not show signs of deceleration, with marks such as Nespresso, Breville and De’lonchi, everyone joins.
The ECF03 is designed to be accessible to new users, while it gives the most experienced homemade baristas the ability to play with the configuration of breweries to adapt to their chosen tastes and beans.
The machine comes with pressurized filters that are indulgent if your coffee is not perfectly ground, and will still allow beginners to achieve a well -extracted shot with a lot of cream, in addition to unique wall filters for more experienced users and a good quality coffee grinder at your disposal.
There are also three temperature settings, which includes a slightly cooler option for light roasts and a higher to extract the complete flavor of dark and rich roasts.
When pressing the Cold ECF03 button, it will avoid its thermoclock heating system and will extract its espresso using ambient temperature water directly from the tank. This takes a little more time (two minutes for a single espresso shot, or four minutes for a double), but it is still much faster than preparing cold elaboration in the traditional way when soaking ground coffee in cold water during the night.
Smeg promises that the flavor profile will be similar to cold beer from the old school, with a softer taste and less acidity than the espresso extracted with hot water.
The SMEG ECF03 is now available to buy directly from SME and third -party retailers for £ 499.95 (around $ 670 / AU $ 1,020). That is towards the upper end of the scale for a machine of this type, but according to the past experience, I can say that it is not only paying a premium for the elegant aspect of the machine, but also the quality of solid construction such as the rock.
I will try the ECF03 to see how it compares with the best coffee makers available at this time, and will soon bring you a complete review.
