The 4 keys formula for third wave specialty coffee at home.
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Rich, full flavourFull-bodied coffee with rich and complex flavours is created using the right dose of 19-22g of freshly ground beans. This dose allows the coffee to fully express the incredible aroma, intense flavours and distinctive character of the coffee, for a true cafe quality result. Anything less than the optimal dose results in a weak and watery taste experience. | 2. Perfectly balanced tasteSweet, delicious and nuanced flavour notes begin with precise control over water temperature. Digital temperature control (PID) technology precisely controls water temperature for a perfectly balanced coffee extraction, giving you the control and consistency for delicious tasting coffee every time. | 3. Irresistible bodyAn opulent, creamy and caramel-coloured espresso starts with low pressure pre-infusion that soaks the grinds, allowing water to pass evenly through the coffee during the high pressure (9 bar) extraction process, delivered via our 15 bar Italian pump. This results in a rich, sweet and viscous espresso. | 4. Silky, velvety mouthfeelSavour the silky taste and velvety mouthfeel of true microfoam milk. The milk is steamed with pressure that creates thousands of tiny bubbles, enhancing flavour and mouthfeel, while the temperature brings out the milk’s sweetness, exciting your taste buds, for a harmonious blend of rich, sweet milk and syrupy, golden espresso. |

Nice compact size doesn’t take up much room in my already small kitchen . Makes a beautiful coffee with even better milk wasn’t to sure about the steam arm at first but after seeing the beautiful micro bubbles in the milk i was won over. Can hold alot more coffee beans that you might think :). Would definitely recommend to any coffee lover!!!
This is my first coffee machine and blown away by it!! I’ve owned it for 3 months now and gets used everyday- really can’t fault it- worth every penny.
My second Sage coffee machine.
Its is easy to use, use you have read the instructions and watched a few videos regards bean grinding , beans used etc.
My only issue is the Dial for the milk steamer, it is quite stiff, when the milk comes to temperature, can be difficult to turn to turn off the steam. Position is on the side, maybe better on the front.
Overall a nice machine for the money but could be better on the steamer dial.
Takes a few tries to get the right fineness of grind and quantity but once that is done making coffee is easy and the truly is consistently good.
A smart looking machine that would go well in most kitchens. The machine makes lovely coffee and is not complicated to use.
Worth the high price (and lack of automation). Makes great espresso or americano, and is a pleasure to work with. High quality materials and premium feeling overall. One of those machines for which you can even buy cheaper coffee and still get a great taste.
The machine seems well put together and the instruction book ishelpful and written in decent English – as one would expect in an Australian product. It’s too early to give a reliability rating after a mere 24 hours in use, but it makes good expresso and cappuccino. I understand from other users that the plastic seals in the steam wand have an unexpectedly short life, but it seems good value in this field.
This is a great machine if you like good coffee and don’t want to spend thousands on a cafe quality machine. We’ve had great results but would advise finding beans you like and sticking with them for a while each time. That way you’re not having to dial in the machine each time you buy a new bag, which can get expensive. All in all would highly recommend.
