Smeg Filter Coffee Machines

Nine Smeg drip coffee machines from R3,499. All nine are the same DCF02: 1050 W, a 1.4 litre tank, a 1.25 litre carafe that brews up to ten cups, and a permanent stainless steel filter. The only differences across the range are colour and finish.Three things make this a filter machine worth R3,500 rather than R900. The filter is permanent stainless steel, so there are no paper filters to buy or to run out of. There is an aroma intensity selector, which slows the water through the coffee bed to pull a stronger cup instead of simply brewing more weak coffee. And there is an auto-start timer, so it can be loaded at night and be brewing before you are out of bed. The keep-warm plate holds the pot for 40 minutes and then switches itself off rather than stewing it all morning.The R300 you should know about. The six gloss colours are R3,499 and the three matt ones are R3,799. Smeg lists gloss at R4,799 and matt at R5,199, so the gap is real and it is entirely finish – the machine inside is identical. If matt is not specifically what you want, the gloss colours are the better buy.Gloss, R3,499. White, cream, black, red, pastel green and pastel blue.Matt, R3,799. Matt black, Moonlight, a pale warm grey, and Storm Blue, a deep slate.Drip or espresso is the real question before colour. A filter machine makes a pot; an espresso machine makes a shot under pressure. If you want both, most people end up with a filter machine for the morning and an espresso machine for the afternoon – see the Smeg espresso range. Whichever you choose, a grinder changes the cup more than the machine does, because pre-ground coffee has already lost most of its aromatics by the time it reaches the shelf.All genuine, boxed Smeg stock.

Smeg filter coffee machines in South Africa: common questions

Does the Smeg filter coffee machine need paper filters?

No. The DCF02 comes with a permanent stainless steel filter, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to run out of. You can use a paper filter in it if you prefer a cleaner cup with less body, but you do not have to.

How many cups does the Smeg drip coffee machine make?

Up to ten, from a 1.25 litre carafe fed by a 1.4 litre water tank. The keep-warm plate holds the pot at temperature for 40 minutes and then switches off on its own.

What is the aroma intensity selector?

It changes how fast the water passes through the coffee bed. On the stronger setting the water moves more slowly and takes more out of the grounds, so you get a genuinely stronger cup rather than just a larger volume of weak coffee. It is the difference between this and a basic drip machine.

Can I set the Smeg coffee machine to start in the morning?

Yes. There is an auto-start timer, so you can load the water and the coffee at night and set the machine to brew at a time you choose. It is the feature most people end up using every single day.

Why do the matt Smeg coffee machines cost more?

Because Smeg prices them higher. Matt lists at R5,199 against R4,799 for gloss, and the difference is entirely the finish - the 1050 W machine, the tank, the carafe, the permanent filter and the timer are identical. If you are not set on matt, the gloss colours give you the same machine for R300 less.

What does a Smeg filter coffee machine cost in South Africa?

R3,499 for the six gloss colours and R3,799 for the three matt ones. Smeg South Africa lists them at R4,799 and R5,199 respectively - we are an independent retailer buying genuine boxed stock, which is why these sit below list.

Should I buy a filter machine or an espresso machine?

A filter machine brews a pot by gravity and is the better morning machine for a household. An espresso machine forces water through a compressed puck under pressure and makes a shot, which is what you want for flat whites and cappuccinos. They do genuinely different jobs, and a lot of people who drink coffee all day end up owning both.

Do you deliver Smeg coffee machines outside South Africa?

Yes. Delivery inside South Africa is free with no minimum spend. We also ship to Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Zimbabwe and Zambia, quoted per order with a duty estimate included so the price you agree is the landed price. Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini are inside SACU, so no customs duty applies.
