I love my new coffee machine. It looks so good in my new kitchen. My old espresso machine packed up years ago and I missed having it. I spent hours researching a replacement and came very close to sticking with my previous brand but really liked the look of the Sage machines. I did come close to buying a different brand altogether as they were pushing their machines cheap and I was being impatient trying to get my machine before Christmas but was put off by bad reviews of their products. One of my customers sells Coffee machines and parts to the trade but their products exceeded my budget and they rated this brand. The one I wanted had a built in lever tamp which I thought was great but you were limited to beans only and couldn’t use pre ground as you can with this model. I had one last look before making a decision and found this machine was on offer which was more versatile at the same price as the machine I was really interested in. I love making espressos, my first Coffee of the day is a strong black americano followed by a latte a couple of hours later, I now also enjoy an Irish coffee in the evening, these also went down well over Christmas with my guests. My wife who was against me paying what needed to spent for a quality machine and who was put off drinking Coffee while pregnant is now smashing through my coffee beans while I’m at work. the Coffee from this machine rivals high street cafes and I now resent paying for a latte and take my own coffee when my son plays rugby rather than buying one from the club. If your lazy don’t buy this machine, if you really appreciate a real cup of coffee you will have fun playing with settings and learning new methods to make your own barista style Coffee at home! No regrets other than my wife using all my coffee and not cleaning it after!

Great looking machine ! Well made . Makes coffee like you buy from the big sellers on the high street . Extremely pleased with purchase.

Goodbye Nespresso, hello Sage barista pro. Incredible coffee, easy to use intuitive machine. Takes a few goes to find the right balance but once you do it’s consistent cups of coffee every time! Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to this great machine!

Superbe coffee, very happy with the purchase

Fantastic espresso machine, may take a couple of goes to dial it in and may need to dial in the grind should you change beans but once it’s dialled in - brilliant easily repeatable excellent cups of coffee. For those that like milk with coffee the steam wand is good and easy to maintain as well

Fantastic product, perfect coffee every time. A great addition to the kitchen.
