Sage the Dual Boiler Espresso Machine, Coffee Machine with Milk Frother, BES920UK - Brushed Stainless Steel, Silver

Product Information

To someone who hasn't caught the home barista bug, or to someone who doesn't even drink coffee, spending hundreds or even thousands on a coffee machine must seem very odd, I get that.

The only reason I would start out with a more entry-level machine, personally, would be affordability. Though I will say that the brand’s design continuity is excellent if you own several Sage appliances and like a cohesive look in your kitchen.

It also offers a true low pressure pre-infusion, which gradually increases the pressure to gently expand the grinds for an even extraction, for a smoother taste. Should you need to move it, there’s dial underneath the pull-out drip tray that lifts the machine onto its three wheels, so you can simply wheel it forwards.

This is a very simple cheap part sitting inside the group, which shouldn't cause a problem, but it can do. Even though the average dirt cheap coffee maker offers this option, it’s unaccountably absent from nearly every high-end espresso maker, forcing the purchase of extra gadgets like smart plugs. The smart grinder pro is great when it comes to very easily switching between brew methods, for example, it'll have no problem jumping up to cafetiere grind and then right back down to stove top. com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646).This plastic part is actually quite sturdy, I wouldn't imagine it would need changing within a few years.

Out of interest, Breville similarly marketed their products (including the Dual Boiler) in Germany for a while through the company Gastroback. Sage has combined striking design and the best technology available to create the 'Dual Boiler' traditional coffee machine.If I were left to my own devices, I might turn the machine on, let it warm up (5/6 minutes) get caught up with something, make a coffee an hour later, and have it in my head to make another one 10 mins later which turns into another hour. The Sage Dual boiler looks more like the other Sage machines, which to some of the more seasoned home barista crowd looks too much like a modern kitchen appliance, and not enough like a traditional espresso machine. You could use one grinder for espresso and for brew, but the problem with that is if you do way out of espresso range to use the grinder for brew, you'll have to dial back in again, which isn't ideal.
