The Smeg Espresso Coffee Machine EGF03 costs $899.95 / 849.95 / AU$1,299.00.
My biggest (and only) criticism?
Thats no bad thing, although it doesnt soften the blow of the price too much.

Theres a raised circle that snugly houses the tamp, too, which is always a thoughtful inclusion.

Should I buy the Smeg Espresso Coffee Machine EGF03?
For its price and small footprint, this espresso maker is excellent.
I used both its pressurized and unpressurized filters, and tried grinding the beans to different coarseness levels.
Im a huge coffee nerd (and my partner is an even bigger one!)
