Over recent years, more people are investing in home setupsseeking to recreate a cafe-quality experience in their own kitchens, and looking for coffee machines that can keep pace with their evolving tastes.

Smeg already offers a wide range of coffee machines to suit most needs, but with cold brew growing in popularity, Smeg has developed a new machine that brings cafe-style cold drinks into the home, without the queue.

What is Cold Brew?

Curious about cold brew? Discover why it's becoming a coffee favourite.

Cold brew isn't just hot coffee over ice, it's a whole different process. Instead of heat, it uses time: coarsely ground beans steep in cold or room-temperature water for 12 to 24 hours. The result? A smoother, naturally sweeter coffee that's low on acidity and easy to drink, often with no need for sugar or milk. It might look like iced coffee, but one sip and you'll taste the difference.

The challenge with traditional cold brew

Traditional cold brew has its drawbacks. The process takes half a day (or more) and requires special items like dedicated carafes, the right grind size, and a good filter. It's a slow ritual, and not everyone has the time or tools.

A smarter way to cold brew

To make cold brew more accessible, Smeg has worked closely with coffee consultants to develop a faster, easier method, without compromising on flavour. With our ECF03 machine, you can brew cold coffee in just 2 minutes (single) using a method designed to mimic the richness and depth of traditional cold brew. By optimising the water-to-coffee ratio and extraction time (whether you're brewing a single or double), we've taken the waiting out of cold brew.

In this video, we've teamed up with Lavazza to show you how to make the ultimate cold brew at home using the new Smeg cold brew machine and Lavazza beans.

Why Choose a Cold Brew Espresso Coffee Machine?

Not sure whether you need an espresso machine or a cold brew setup? Here's why choosing a dual-function machine just makes sense.
From Intense Mornings to Chill Afternoons

Espresso's great when you need something bold and quick to get going in the morning. But on warmer days, or when you just want something smoother, cold brew is hard to beat.

The Best of Both Worlds, In One Machine

The good news? You don't need to have two machines or 12 hours to steep. Some machines now brew cold coffee in minutes, without compromising on flavour, and still pull an authentic espresso shot.

Designed for the Evolving Coffee Drinker

It's all about options. Hot or cold, strong or smooth, having one machine that can do it all makes life easier, saves space, and keeps your coffee routine simple.

Features we Love

Discover the features that make Smeg's cold brew espresso coffee machine exceptional

Pressure Manometer

With the built-in pressure manometer, you can actually watch the pressure as you brew. When the needle sits in the 'Espresso' zone, you're right where you need to be for the perfect shot.*

*Manometer feedback applies only when brewing espresso.
 
Thermoblock Heating

This machine uses a thermoblock heating system, which heats up quickly and only warms the water needed for each cup, saving you time and energy with every brew.

Professional Portafilter 

The 58 mm professional portafilter is designed to help you get the most out of your coffee. Its larger size means a wider, more even spread of coffee grounds, so water flows smoothly and extracts maximum flavour. This helps avoid channeling too, which means a more balanced, barista-style shot.

Effortless Brewing, Every Time

Craving a hot espresso or something cool and smooth? Just tap a button to switch modes. The dual menu is easy to follow, whether you're a seasoned coffee lover or a beginner. In a rush? Choose from one or two shots of espresso or single or double cold brew, the presets do the work for you. Want more control? You can customise the settings to match your personal taste.

Inside the machine, the temperature control system ensures consistent brewing results. The combination of the thermoblock heating system and the over-pressure valve ensures a stable extraction pressure. When you're steaming milk, an automatic cooling cycle brings the temperature down fast, from 100°C to 92°C, so you can get back to pulling shots without waiting around. 

Engineered for Everyday Ease

With a 1.4 litre tank, there's enough water to brew multiple drinks without stopping to refill, perfect for busy homes or when you're hosting. The die-cast housing adds a premium look and feel while giving the machine long-term durability.

Using it is simple too. A manual steam lever gives you instant control over steam or hot water, so you can easily switch between drinks. And for added peace of mind, the insulated steam wand stays cool while the silicone-coated handle keeps things safe and comfortable.

Designed for Convenience

At the top of the machine, a handy cup warmer uses residual heat from the thermoblock to gently warm your cups, ideal for maintaining espresso temperature and delivering a hotter, more satisfying drink. At the bottom, the removable drip tray catches any spills or excess coffee during brewing and lifts out effortlessly for quick, hassle-free cleaning.

It also features an integrated storage compartment to neatly house accessories when not in use, and this machine comes with plenty! A set of premium accessories, including a professional 58 mm stainless steel tamper, filters and essential cleaning tools, are all included, ensuring you have everything you need from the start.

My Smeg Assistant

For a more interactive experience, you can use the MySmeg Assistant app. It includes helpful tips and digital resources on how to use and care for your machine.
