There are a lot of things we'd like to steal from Reese Witherspoon. From her closet of designer duds to her beauty must-haves, the 48-year-old Oscar winner gives us plenty of inspiration. But the latest thing we're coveting is sitting pretty in her kitchen: her Smeg countertop appliances.
Quick Overview
Witherspoon recently appeared in an episode of Hollywood House Call with The Home Edit, where the organizing experts culled and curated her kitchen, pantry and closet. While the video focused primarily on making better use of the space and decluttering cabinets, we couldn't stop thinking about the sleek, cream-colored coffee maker and kettle Witherspoon had in her kitchen.

This retro coffee maker comes in nine other colors, including pink, blue and green, but this milky shade is sure to complement any kitchen decor.
Smeg is known best for its bold and retro-inspired appliances that are instantly recognizable. The brand makes everything from toasters and stand mixers to blenders and juicers, but it also sells quality cutlery and cookware. And yes, practically all of its products come in a wide range of colors.
But don't let their good looks fool you, Smeg's products are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing. Smeg's Retro Coffee Machine features a sizable 10-cup carafe, an auto-start feature and a warming plate that'll keep your pot of joe hot for 60 minutes. Plus, you can choose from two aroma settings, delicate and intense, to brew your perfect cup of coffee. The machine even has a silent mode, which allows for a quieter brew.
We already know that Witherspoon is a fan, but this coffee maker has been getting plenty of buzz from Amazon shoppers as well.
A sip-satisfied shopper shared: "This is the best coffee maker I have ever owned... . This machine brews a smooth and flavorful coffee. It's quiet and I love the aroma setting."
"I flippin love this thing! It’s GORGEOUS! Feels like having a new car in the coffee bar! ???? so smooth and shiny! It's not just pretty, it's programmable, you have normal and strong settings plus it has auto-off. Oh, and to top it off, it comes with a reusable filter, so you won’t need to purchase one separately AND IT MAKES GREAT COFFEE! Seriously, get one. You will love it too," raved another fan with a latte love for the percolator.
While some customers said it was a bit tricky to fill the water reservoir with the carafe, most declared, "It's no BIG deal."
Amazon
Tea lovers will flip for this petite kettle. While the cream shade is nearly sold out, it is in stock in seven other colors, like red, black and gray.
If you're more of a tea drinker, a Smeg kettle may be a better addition to your kitchen. Available in several different sizes, Witherspoon's choice appears to be the mini option — but all of Smeg's kettles come in cream, so you can get the celeb-approved look and the size you want without having to compromise. (There's even a whistling kettle for those who prefer a traditional teapot.)
Smeg's double-walled Mini Electric Kettle has a three-cup capacity, a heat-resistant handle, an auto-shut-off feature and an internal water level indicator. Additionally, this kettle has an anti-drip spout, so you don't have to worry about spilling hot water, and an anti-slip base for added stability.
Like the coffee maker, Smeg's Mini Electric Kettle has been brewing up praise from Amazon fans. One brew-tiful review shared, "Smeg just exudes style and ... add[s] beauty to your kitchen. This mini is indeed mini and probably holds a couple of cups for tea or coffee, which is perfect for one to two people. Water heats up fast and pours beautifully."
Another cup of praise came from this fan: "I was looking for a kettle for just me. The smaller size makes it so cute and it matches my big Smeg toaster. I get compliments all the time! Love the retro Italian design too, very cool!"
The only real downsides reviewers remarked on were the kettle's hefty price tag and the fact that you can't choose the temperature. "Heats up real quick. If you need a specific temperature though, this product is not for you," wrote one shopper.

Looking for something a bit bigger? This seven-cup kettle has all of the same features as the Mini, but is better for those that like several cups of tea.
