I did my research and this is a great product. Not for those who want easy coffee, but if you like the process you'll be pleased with it.

We love our barista express. Looks great in the kitchen. Needs a little time spent getting it to make the espresso just right but once you do it's perfect. We love making lattes with it. Tastes just as good, if not better than high street coffee shops!

Quick delivery and product is well worth money. Easy enough to set up and makes good coffee

I have a coffee machine grave yard at home. In my quest to have great coffee at home, I have tried, caffitieres, bean to cup filter coffee maker, and several different makes of pod machine. None gave the desired quality. Some also really expensive to buy stock for too. I decided to take the plunge and buy a machine with some of the best reviews around.I love the machine I am still learning how to use perfectly and I still need to find the perfect bean for my pallet. Would I recommend this, yes. Mind if I had bought before all the others I would possibly have not been in a position to appreciate how much better the coffee is than the other options. Also much cheaper to use than a pod machine. More flexible too. I can make expresso to cappuccino and everything between without having to buy a pack of pods for each variety.

We’ve had the Sage Barista Express for a week now, and so far so good. Easy to use, and the coffee and steamed milk come out perfect every time. It does use a lot of water, but it’s not a problem, just need to remember to refill after use. Great service from AO as always, and we’ll definitely save money on our daily coffee runs!

So I’ve had my coffee machine for a week now and I’m loving it! It was a little bit “faffy” setting it up (I just wanted to make the coffee straight away) but as I get more used to it it’s easier to use. I find grinding for the double espresso insert causes the grinds to overflow and spill, so I press the single grind twice (pressing it down in between grinds) which I find much cleaner/tidier. The steam pressure is almost as good as an industrial machine (I’ve previously worked in restaurants and worked with these) and it makes a great frothed milk. The temperature marker is fine on the milk jug, but I prefer to feel the temp of the milk with my hand on the side of the jug! I looked at a YouTube video comparing the barista express to the barista pro, and for the difference, I couldn’t warrant spending almost quite a lot more (I got the machine on offer) - really glad I made this decision! I’ve only used cheap coffee beans so far, so I’m looking forward to using some decent ones and seeing what result I get with these. I still need to play around with the grind/amount dials to get my “perfect cup” but looking forward to playing around with it more! It’s also really easy to clean, I leave a cloth on the machine to wipe the steamer and drip tray after I’ve used it. Not sure about the cup warmer... I don’t leave it on constantly, so I can’t see how the cups are going to warm for single use, but this really doesn’t bother me! Great little product and looking forward to making espresso martinis with it! ;-)

The coffee machine is well packaged. Straight out of the box it can be up and running in a matter of minutes. The instructions are clear and there is a very good guide on how best to grind the beans to get a good cup of coffee. This machine is very hands on which gives you a good experience in making that perfect coffee. I have made many cups of delicious coffee using this machine, i really like the milk frother that turns a good cup of coffee into an excellent one. I have even now started using it to make chai tea lattes as well.

This is a top quality machine that produces great tasting coffee without too much effort. Once you’ve experimented to get the right coarseness and amount of coffee it’s easy to make consistent coffee. The best thing was that I bought it when there was a 10% discount so I’m very happy
