We upgraded to this machine from the Tasimo pod style machines and haven't looked back! We had been toying with the idea of making the upgrade and also whether to go for a straight bean to cups model (like Krupps etc). We are really glad we went for this Sage model. It looks the absolute business and is quite a sturdy machine I.e. the espresso locks into the machine solidly. It's the little things but together they add up to a great experience. It's not cheap to buy it full price but if you get great joy out of good coffee then go for it. I can't buy take out coffee any longer!

Superb machine, well built. Very easy to use. Set up in about 10 minutes out of the box to first espresso. Use it several times a day. It’s awesome.

Such an amazing coffee machine. Really looks the part and a very noticeable improvement to my morning coffee. My only criticism is that the instruction manual needs some improvement.

Our last machine was a fully automatic all singing and dancing machine. This one takes some getting used to and I found the tutorials on YouTube very helpful. It is a challenge but what fun trying to get it right. I feel like a true barista now. Most tutorials advise using fresh coffee beans but I am having good results with prepacked beans. The coffee made from this machine is superior to the fully automated one and half the price. Would certainly recommend but you need to be prepared to play around to get the coffee to your personal taste but well worth it.

It's a great coffee machine and it looks fabulous. It was not very easy to start with- we probably wasted almost a full bag of coffee beans trying to get the right cup of espresso to start work, but once we got it right, the coffee has been perfect ever since. Our favourite coffee is flat white, and this machine makes a perfect one- I would say it's same or higher quality than the major coffee shops. Cleaning afterwards is quite simple too. So far it has been a pleasant experience and definitely worth the money.

Really happy with our new coffee machine, will take a bit of practice getting used to setting it right, but makes lovely coffee. We were kept up to date with progress and called about delivery. Very good efficient service

Competitive price , great delivery time and excellent product, hassle free and smooth customer service and communication, this is my 5th purchase with ao

My husband and I are at Costa 2 or 3 times a day so we decided to make our own. Read a few reviews and though we would try this one. Its a great little machine, it fits underneath our cupboards nicely and looks really good. The quality of the machine is great and its pretty easy to use (use of youtube). Took a little time to adjust the beans and grind to get the taste we wanted. Highly Recommend.
