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

Wow what a cracking little machine! I’ve been thinking of buying a coffee machine for some time... after finally decided to purchase I’m so pleased I did!! It’s a solid machine and the coffee it makes is just sublime.

I’ve been a coffee lover for years and been using a Delonghi expresso machine which was ok but the Sage Barista machine takes it to another level. I’m using the same beans as I have been for ages but the difference in taste is so much better with the Barista. It’s a bit finicky with the settings at first but you soon get to know the machine. Best coffee ever 5 stars....

I've been wanting a coffee machine a while and when I saw this I wasnt 100% about it but then reading reviews I decided to take the plunge and order it and am glad I did. It's quite easy to assemble but I still don't know all there is to know about operating the machine. It makes a great cup of coffee once you master some common tricks however it is noisy why is why I only gave it 4/5 stars. I haven't had it that long but enjoying using it and unfortunately the coffee shops have lost a customer!

Thrilled with my coffee machine, took 10 minutes to set up clear instructions and within half an hour able to make delicious coffee at home at a fraction of the price a Costa/Starbucks. IMO will pay for itself within 6 months
