Coffee is one of the oldest beverages in the world, as it represents the earliest energy drinks that come from the caffeine substance found on the plants and berries it is processed from.

Moreover, pop culture has brought back several retro-style appliances which gives an overall aesthetic and cosmetic upgrade in the kitchen, particularly with the Smeg Retro Style Coffee Maker.

Making coffee does not need to be boring, troublesome, and a hassle to everyone just wanting a morning fix to get the day started (or probably for night shift workers or those pulling an all-nighter review, and other stuff). As known and said mostly about coffee, it is a "hug in a cup" which provides a warm and fuzzy feeling of life as it boosts a person's productivity.

Retro Coffee Makers are available in surplus conditions or restored machines that would require very technical mechanical work, which is a hassle to obtain the aesthetics and capture the "retro" look. However, thanks to Smeg's Retro Style Coffee Maker, old-school looks and technology can bond and go together well, over a cup o' joe.

Smeg boasts of "Technology in style" with its products that capture retro and vintage designs, along with modern and futuristic home appliances that cater from hoods, ranges, ovens, kitchen tops, and other solo devices.

hese solo devices include one of the most popular devices on its lineup, the retro appliances like the nostalgia retro coffee maker, Smeg's Drip Coffee.

Specialists or people who prefer maintaining a retro-inspired look on their kitchen may find joy and a sense of fulfillment in adding the various and massive lineup from Smeg's catalog to fit one of the liveliest areas in a home.

Designing a kitchen is no joke, as it can be a hassle not to find the perfect fit for one's use, along with its design not matching the theme.

Smeg Captures Vintage Coffee Machine Aesthetic from the 1950s Diner

The retro-looking coffee maker that looks like it came straight from a 1950s Diner beside a "Pin-up Model" that pours it is what best describes the aesthetic and design of Smeg's coffee maker. Having one in the kitchen essentially brightens up the dull and monochromatic feels of a modern-inspired kitchen design for the current age.

A lot of people are looking into upgrading kitchens with stylish and functional devices, and with Smeg's Retro Style Coffee Maker, they could never go wrong in matching a specific theme and brewing a mean pot of coffee. The Smeg Retro Coffee Maker offers an easy-to-use and understandable interface that gives a variety of options with its multi-button layout.

The device can be a regular coffee maker, but it would not bore you with its masterfully added functionality that takes coffee to the next level.

Smeg: Technology Meets Nostalgia Coffee Maker

What is most impressive with Smeg's Retro Style Coffee Maker is that it is an easily customizable device that blends the feature of the latest technology for better integration in the household. Sure basic coffee makers that just need coffee grounds, filter, water, the drip pot, and electricity to function may be easier, but so is touching a few buttons to brew.

Smeg Retro Coffee Maker: Cons

There are only several points where Smeg's Retro Style Coffee Maker fails, and those are not major problems or issues as most probably, you already have these in your kitchen. First off, Smeg's retro coffee maker does not have any coffee grinder built-in or above it.

This means that users would need to have a separate coffee grinder in hand to use the machine if whole beans are preferred over pre-ground.

Additionally, Smeg's retro coffee maker features a bulky device that may not fit a user's old spot for a coffee maker, which is mostly sleek and compact. The primary reason for this is that it features the nostalgic size of the 1950s coffee makers which almost entirely occupies the space, the same size as one's air fryer or Instant Pot.

Smeg's Retro Coffee Maker: Main Features

1950s Retro Design

The first and main feature of the Retro Style Coffee Maker is its design which pays homage to the aesthetically pleasing appliances of the good ol' times. From the main machine to its retro coffee pot, Smeg's retro coffee maker screams everything nostalgic and good about the 1950s.

Aroma Intensity Selector

One of the best features from Smeg's Retro Style Coffee Maker is the "Aroma Intensity Selector" which would be a nifty feature if users enjoy the smell of freshly brewed coffee in their mornings (like me). Users are allowed to select the levels, from intense to delicate, depending on preference, which in my opinion, has a massive influence on coffee taste.

Small Brew and Large Brew Options

Choose between the personalized or large brewing capabilities of the retro coffee maker, as Smeg allows users to make either a 4-cup batch or a 10-cup option. No need to have a coffee shortage or leftover coffee for brewing the wrong sizes. Traditional coffee makers do not have this option, as they require users to measure and quantify based on experience.

Automatic Start/Stop

Smeg's Retro Style Coffee Maker can also brew your coffee at any time of the day, as long as the clock is set and your "coffee alarm" is already programmed into the device.
