Smeg CGF03RDEU Rood

We bought this as part of a wider set, confess I was hugely sceptical when strong armed by my wife, but now it's my kitchen favourite gadget. Very easy to use and maintain, great build quality and oddly satisfying to use. Makes for a nice ritual for making coffee but without fuss or risk of pretentiousness. If you can get your head past the price, you wont regret it.

Once you have found your preferred settings, this is so easy and quick to use - for an Espresso machine, you can grind straight into the dispenser (double or single). I think the machine looks great, and the aroma of freshly ground Coffee is a bonus
