I’ve had a few coffee machines over the years, the last one being a Gaggia Brera which was an ace machine. However, the Sage Barista Express is in a different league. It is an absolutely amazing machine and really doesn’t take long at all to master. I love the fact that you can customise the grind, the dose, the tamping, etc. to get the perfect cup. I researched and researched for my next machine and have not regretted getting this model one bit. The frother is also excellent - I froth the milk before brewing the coffee and it’s ready to pour once the coffee has brewed. Great for latte art too if you are that way inclined. Check out hints and tips on the internet for using this machine - very useful!

I had used my friends so there was no surprises here. It can be a little messy with the grinding but we got past that by setting it so it's just before it overflows then tamping it and manually adding a small amount of grind using the start stop feature. You do need to get a knock box with it though.

I short way: good quality, powerful, nice design, practically and reasonable price - that is my opinion! You can make any type of coffee you want - but you need to have a little bit experience as barista!

This coffee machine does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I am now able to make coffee shop quality coffees. The machine looks good and is very easy to use.

Very happy with purchase - it makes excellent coffee and really easy to use.

It looks sturdy, professional and works perfectly too! The tools are very easy to use. It does heat up the coffee cups. I drink a better coffee than I drinked in other coffeehouses. I am truly pleased with this purchase.

Well, who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks ... This Sage Barista Express is Fantastic, woof,woof.

Took a little while to set up but once done its amazing! Makes great coffee and well worth the initial investment. Very happy and saving me a fortune in the local coffee shop.
