Description
Freshly ground coffee, from espresso to filter, in unmistakable SMEG style.
The SMEG CGF03 Coffee Grinder combines versatile grind adjustment with the iconic curves of SMEG’s 50’s Style collection. Its stainless-steel conical burrs, 15 macro grind levels and eight preset functions make it easy to prepare freshly ground coffee for espresso, moka, filter coffee, French press and cold brew.
Designed to work across the SMEG coffee range, the CGF03 lets you grind directly into a portafilter or into the supplied ground-coffee container. Adjustable dosing, an antistatic system and a 240 g bean hopper make it a practical everyday grinder for a wide range of home coffee routines.
Stainless-Steel Conical Burrs
The CGF03 uses stainless-steel conical burrs designed to produce a more consistent grind while reducing the uneven particle sizes associated with blade grinders.
A consistent grind is one of the most important variables in coffee preparation, helping create more repeatable extraction and better control over flavour.
15 Macro Grind Levels
Choose between 15 main grind levels divided into superfine, fine and medium ranges. These settings provide the flexibility required to move from espresso to moka, filter coffee, French press and other brewing methods.
Up to 50 Degrees of Fineness
Beyond the main grind sectors, SMEG describes the CGF03 as offering up to 50 degrees of fineness, giving you additional control when adjusting the grind to your coffee, brewing method and taste preferences.
Eight Preset Functions
Eight preset functions simplify everyday coffee preparation by providing convenient dosing options developed for different brewing styles.
Single & Double Espresso Dosing
Dedicated single- and double-espresso functions make it easy to dose ground coffee directly for espresso preparation.
Manual Grinding Mode
Manual mode gives you direct control when you want to determine the grinding time yourself rather than using a preset dose.
Adjustable Coffee Quantity
The dose can be adjusted according to the amount of coffee required, helping you adapt the grinder to different recipes and brewing equipment.
58 mm Aluminum Dosing Funnel Included
A 58 mm aluminum dosing funnel is included for cleaner espresso dosing and reduced coffee spill around the portafilter during grinding.
Portafilter Support Included
The included steel portafilter support lets you grind directly into a compatible espresso portafilter for a faster and cleaner workflow.
Antistatic System
An integrated antistatic system helps reduce static-related coffee scatter around the grinder and grounds container.
240 g Bean Hopper
The BPA-free bean container holds up to 240 g of whole coffee beans, providing convenient capacity for everyday home use.
Twist & Lock Ground Coffee Container
When grinding for filter coffee or larger batches, the supplied ground-coffee container uses SMEG’s Twist & Lock system for secure positioning.
Removable Burr for Easier Cleaning
The removable grinder component and included cleaning brush make routine maintenance easier and help prevent stale coffee residue from building up inside the grinding chamber.
Automatic Standby
The grinder automatically enters its low-power state after approximately two minutes of inactivity, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
