Thank you so much! This really clears things up. Every normal person that knows what a thermoblock is probably thought that it can do both at the same time. Its really just confusing due to how smeg talks about the machine and in eu I wasn’t even able to find a single website with a chat to ask them.
Actually I have a similar machine from the manufacturer of Barsetto model BAE 02 which has 2 thermal blocks and 2 vibratory pumps and hence able to do both espresso extraction and steaming of milk at the same time and I assume that the SMEG EGF03 is the same, which in reality it is not the same.
The machine has dual thermal blocks but only 1 pump. A single block machine will need a minute or so to go from brew to steam temperature where as the Dual block requires no heat up or cool down time between brewing and steaming. It saves a little bit of time but you will have to do one at a time, not both at once.
I bought the smeg machine 4 days ago. I tried a lot of times to make a cappuccino but i think the milk frother doesnt work right! I tried a lot of times with different ways and different milks and the milk was at the end warm but not frothy! Have you had this problem ?
@CaffeMartellaSingapore thank you very much for the quick answer! Today i sent the machine back because I tried 3 liter milk and I wasn't frothy, it was like a hot milk! One friend of mine tried also to make a cappuccino and he had the same opinion! I will wait a few days for the answer from the shop and I will order a new one! By the way do you really believe that the machine is good ?? Your video was amazing and the milk was so creamy and frothy!
@alexandroskeranidis8654 Yes, i believe it's pretty good for home use. Most likely, you have a defective unit. But do update me on your progress and I am interested to find out how it works out for you.
@@CaffeMartellaSingapore i will do it! Thanks again for your answer and help! Unfortunately I don't other social media accounts to follow you and send you a video the next days but I will try to find you on social media from friend's accounts! I wish you the best and a beautiful and healthy new year
A few days ago I had an appointment at the Smeg to check the machine. The consultant showed me how the machine and the milk foamer work and I told him that my machine was very loud and the milk foamer had defective and he told me that the pump was expected to be broken. I'll order a new one soon. Although I would like to thank you again for your help

Great Videos,I have a question about the shower screen, how's the stock one and can you upgrade it to a precision nano coated one?

If you can send me a video of the milk frothing that you do, i can try to see the issue you are encountering.
