It's a tried-and-true gift for a reason: coffee accessories are a kitchen essential, whether you're looking for a new espresso machine or simply want to contribute to a loved one's mug collection.
As for the former, we're taking inspiration from Khloe Kardashian, whose choice of espresso machine came to light in Poosh's Kardashian-Jenner holiday gift guide.
Kardashian's espresso machine of choice is the SMEG 50's Style Retro Manual (available at Williams-Sonoma), a stylish and compact device. “This machine is so easy to use and the vintage aesthetic makes it a timeless addition to any kitchen,” she explains on Poosh's website. The machine's '50s-inspired aesthetic makes it clear why it's a hit with design lovers (including Kardashian), but a closer look at its specs shows there's more to this manufacturer than just its good looks.
50s style manual retro espresso machine from SMEG
This space-saving espresso machine is the Kardashian coffee maker, and it's easy to see why. With its retro design and beautiful cream color scheme, it is as beautiful as it is functional.
Popular with retro enthusiasts, SMEG is sought after for its toasters and refrigerators, all of which come in pleasant colors and curved shapes. The espresso machine is largely the same, with features specifically suited to coffee lovers.
This model brews single, double and long drinks with simple, backlit buttons and dual functionality for selecting drinks and customizing preferences. It is suitable for pads and coffee grounds and is therefore extremely versatile. It also has a steam nozzle for cappuccinos, lattes and more.
While Kardashian's choice is the timeless cream shade, it also comes in black, pink, red, blue, green and white, leaving plenty of options for those interested in lighter shades. It's available here at Williams Sonoma or through Amazon – but the last minute shopping doesn't end there. Our editors have rounded up some accessories that will stay next to the maker in your cafe corner (or on your countertop) long after the holiday season is over.
