People buy this one for its 1950s styling, and it comes in seven colours. It makes drinkable espresso from pre-ground coffee or paper pods, and its frothing nozzle makes foam with very little skill. The body is plastic and it only takes pressurised baskets, so most of what you're paying for is the look.

At a glance
At a glanceWhat's good
- It comes in seven colours, including cream, red, pastel blue and pink, to match other Smeg kitchen appliances.
- It takes pre-ground coffee or paper pods, so you don't need a grinder.
- It's under 15cm wide and weighs 4.7kg.
- The frothing nozzle makes foamy milk with very little technique.
Worth knowing
- The body is plastic, despite the price.
- It only takes pressurised baskets, so better beans and a grinder won't improve the coffee much.
- The frothing nozzle makes thick, airy foam. It can't make the smooth, silky milk you need for latte art.
- The water tank only holds 1.1 litres, so you'll refill it often.
