This is the best walk-through video I have come across on youtube, so many thanks for sharing this! I hope to purchase one someday so would definitely come back to this video. Thumbs up from the UK 👍
Thank you kindly for watching. I know how complicated these machines can be so I wanted to make it easy for the viewer. But moreover I am grateful that you watched and enjoyed!
SMEG should hire you to do their user videos/tutorials ! This was the best instructional video I could find. Thank you ! How do you know how /what to set the grinder knob at (where the coffee beans go ?) ? What do you recommend as a good starting point ? did you just use the machine setting as it came from the factory ? Thanks
Thank you so much for the kind words. With respect to the grinder knob its preference. Finer grounds = stronger coffee. I like finer grounds. Just make sure you turn it while it is in the process of grinding which is what the directions tell you.
Have one and absolutely HATE it. Extremely noisy, even after it makes coffee. A lot of maintenance. I am buying a filter drip maker for $100 that makes far better coffee. Looks nice but a lousy coffee maker. !!!!
Same and I had mine replaced (by manufacturer) 4 times in 3 years. Pretty much stop working once it needs to descale. We followed the manual and nothing work.
Nice review! I think that you covered pretty much everything :) I've had the same machine now for 6 months and it's still working fine. I'm on hard water setting so have been prompted twice so far to run through a full cleaning solution with product. I find that for people who need a lot of liquid in their cup I either make an espresso and add hot water from a kettle or else I give them 2 of the 'long' coffees. I programmed a button to give a full cup of coffee but found that it tasted over extracted.
This is my biggest critique with the product as soon as I increased the amount of liquid it started to taste over attracted less robust. But I'm grateful for you watching appreciate the support
What setting did you set the grinder knob at ? where the coffee beans go ? I just got mine-not sure if I should use factory setting, or make it finer or coarser ?
very expensive (over thousand dollars ?/?) have Smeg drip coffee maker and I loved it , though do have few Smeg's small appliances and do lovin it tooooo
@@TheBuscemiFamily the prices from 900.00 to little over thousand dollars, though all Smeg small appliances are expensive , lol, but I really liked 50's style
Water Hardness: I selected light but didn’t set it, so it didn’t work. Then tried setting it again but the machine does not go to the mode for switching the setting. What should I do?
Unfortunately, I can’t…I no longer have the machine. Nothing wrong with it but I eventually went with this machine which is phenomenal JURA E8 Coffee Machine Review th-cam.com/video/Hg5Ic09aJZ4/w-d-xo.html
It’s called the SMEG FULLY AUTOMATIC COFFEE MACHINE. Take a look at this one too…I like the Jura better JURA E8 Coffee Machine Review th-cam.com/video/Hg5Ic09aJZ4/w-d-xo.html
Do you know how to descale it? My machine gets stuck in descale mode for days at a time. Currently on day 7 of it not working and just still going through water constantly. Help!
@@TheBuscemiFamily a few years and it does this every time! SMEG replaced it already once for me but offered no solutions to solve. I follow the rules given but it just for some reason takes forever. Last time it took me 2 weeks to get going again. I'm currently on day 7 and have used 3 bottles of descaler. and i run it just with water etc. No idea if it's a me issue or the product itself
@@TheBuscemiFamily I notice that the second or third day when I started to use it. Can not remember about the first day. Maybe I was too exited :D but I had a coffe machine before (other brand) and it was totally no sound while its on. Now i have to turn off immediately after I make a coffee, because that electric sound its annoying.
Appreciate you watching hope you enjoyed the video. My wife and I recently got the Jura E8 which we absolutely love…did a video on that one too here -> th-cam.com/video/Hg5Ic09aJZ4/w-d-xo.html
Hi is there any way that can be adjusted the brewing time? I would like to brew for less making a real short espresso which is not for the automatic espresso brew. Thanks
@@titianrome on the top of the machine there are buttons for different kinds of coffee drinks…one of which is “Ristretto”…you simply push that button and it makes a Ristretto which is a concentrated coffee shot…also know as a “short” drink
You can buy the one that has the frother. This model doesn’t. That’s why switched to this one…th-cam.com/video/Hg5Ic09aJZ4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=W3wVwItIL3g6HhL_
Hi, thank you for the video, it's great! But can you tell me when you press the 4th button on the orange setting, does an americano come out in one go, without pressing another button? I bought the BCC02 and only drink americano and was disappointed that I had to make an espresso and then add hot water to make my americano. And if the answer to my question is yes, how many ml is the americano? Really appreciate an answer
Hi G. Boyd. So I did not love the SMEG...infact I was so unimpressed by it that I purchased a Jura E8 which turns out to be the single best coffee machine I have ever come across....one touch everything...check out the video here: th-cam.com/video/Hg5Ic09aJZ4/w-d-xo.html
I have since moved on to a new machine the Jura E8 (reviewed here JURA E8 Coffee Machine Review th-cam.com/video/Hg5Ic09aJZ4/w-d-xo.html )…which does all drinks with one push of a button. I am in love with it. But the drinks are not very large on any of these machine because it’s European style…so as an example a regular coffee is like 5 to 8 ounces at best. So to answer your question on the SMEG I could not tell you but on the Jura everything is one push of a button.
@@cindyfung5175 the coffee was not robust at all…in my opinion. The machine was very nice to look at but did not give me a great cup of coffee. Also I got the machine that did not have the frother component. The Jura E8 on the other hand has been absolutely phenomenal. Love it!
You fill it completely (more than a handful). In terms of how long it last depends on how much coffee you drink. If you drink a lot it will need to be filled more frequently. Btw…I got this machine that I like far better than the SMEG. -> JURA E8 Coffee Machine Review th-cam.com/video/Hg5Ic09aJZ4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for the very thorough review/instructions. I just ordered this machine with the steamer option and can't wait to set it up, now that I've seen exactly how to do it. This was so much more pleasant than an instruction manual! Does it come with any descaling tablets to get you started with?
Thank you so much for watching. I did not get the ones with them steamer so I am not sure if that one comes with descaling accompanyments. The option I chose did not.
Thank you for the instructions. Very useful. A question: du you have any idea how to change the auto switch-off setting, so the machine stays turned on longer than 20 minutes?
Hey...thank you for the kind words. Since this video, I have moved on to a new machine so it is hard to say how to adjust the auto shut off. I moved on to the Jura E8 which I love and is a little more versatile. See video on that here -> th-cam.com/video/Hg5Ic09aJZ4/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for reading the entire manual so we dont have to. Great video!!!
Appreciate you watching!! We are a small channel so we appreciate every view and comment!
Thank you. Nice and clear. Coffee grounds should go into compost or a worm farm, not the garbage.
Great tutorial, thank you very much.
Hello nice review how does the. Smeg work after a year. You're Al still happy whit the machine
Works great!!
very expensive (over thousand dollars ?/?) have Smeg drip coffee maker and I loved it , though do have few Smeg's small appliances and do lovin it tooooo
I forget how much because it’s been a while, but I believe it was under 1000 at the time

You should be able to set it to a new setting anytime. I would follow the instructions to set it…if that doesn’t work call them.
Really well done. Thanks!
Your very welcome and thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated.
can you do a follow up video how it's working now?
Unfortunately, I can’t…I no longer have the machine. Nothing wrong with it but I eventually went with this machine which is phenomenal

Hi, just got the machine and I'm in love.
Which grind level do you use for Espresso, and for regular coffee? Thanks
I use the finest grind for espresso and maybe one or two notches above that for coffee
Very informative, thank you!

Does it have a milk frother?
