Retro Smeg machine that makes ‘a great brew’ and ‘worth every penny’

‘Always makes a great brew’

Sometimes all that’s needed to start the day is a fresh cup of coffee, especially during the cold winter months. For those looking to upgrade an old machine or buy a new one, there’s one deal that shoppers are snapping up at Yimbly – but it won’t last long.

The Smeg Dcf02 Drip Filter Coffee Machine is currently available from Yimbly, an online marketplace owned by the Mirror’s parent company Reach Plc, for £159, reduced from £199.95. This is for the baby blue model – the grey and red versions are currently sold out.

With only a few remaining in stock, the site says, this coffee machine brews up to 10 cups and has an adjustable aroma intensity selector, ranging from intense to delicate. It features a digital display, timer, auto-start and a 40-minute keep warm function, and it has a glass carafe.

While it can make up to 10 cups of coffee, Yimbly says there’s a ‘four cups function’ for smaller quantities, too. It comes with a one-year warranty, has dimensions of 44cm (height) by 33cm (width), and weighs 5.6kg, meaning it won’t take up too much space. Plus, its ‘retro design’ makes it aesthetic, too.

As an alternative, cheaper option, there’s this Filter Coffee Machine with Glass Carafe (1.5 Litre) available from Lakeland for £39.99 – a new lower price, the site says. This is described as an ‘easy-to-use’ machine, and it has four function buttons and a digital display. Shoppers can use the programmable timer to delay brewing, and there’s a 30-minute keep-warm function.

For those with a higher budget and more space in their kitchen, there’s this Ninja Prestige DualBrew CFN802UK Filter & Pod Coffee Machine for £249.99 at Argos. This is a two-in-one machine that can brew coffee capsules and filter coffee, and users can select from 10 drink sizes.

Coffee options include: latte, cappuccino, ristretto, lungo, flat white, cold brew coffee, iced coffee, and espresso. Back to the Smeg Dcf02 Drip Filter Coffee Machine, there is currently only one review on Yimbly’s site.

However, this person left five stars and said: “Perfect drip coffee maker. Stupendous styling, perfect build quality and just makes great coffee. So pleased that we bought the kettle and toaster and they are just as good.”

Elsewhere, shoppers left reviews for the product on Amazon. One said: “Always makes a great brew.” While this person added: “Worth every penny. I’m super impressed.

“Coffee was hot and stayed hot for 45 minutes. Not the cheapest, but it looks smart in my kitchen.”

Others left feedback on Amazon, with one saying: “Bought this on recommendation of two people and I’m not disappointed. It is easy to use, very quick and straightforward to clean.

“Keeps the coffee warm for 30 minutes. The slight downside is pouring the water in as it’s almost at a right angle and can spill a bit, but it certainly isn’t a huge problem. I would recommend this product.” Another wrote as part of a longer review: “Sadly this isn’t as great as I’d hoped.”
