The machine is great, makes really good coffee when you get everything right, the only thing I don’t understand is the coffee ground setting , if the gauge is in the middle the coffee is coming out of the filter a bit so setting any higher than that I can’t see any reason for that , it should have been set up for single and double

This is a coffee machine for those who care, it takes time to use. We went from an automatic to this and would never go back, the coffee shot is as good as the person pulling it.

I've used the barista Express for a few weeks now and really happy with it! You need to be patient, read the instructions and if you've time watch a few videos to get it working to its optimum. It definitely helps to buy fresh, quality beans to get great tasting coffee or you'll be wasting your time fine tuning it. The machine isn't cheap but after purchasing it I'm more than happy with it.

This was a birthday present and recipient over the moon as he had been looking to buy one for himself. It all works perfectly and the coffee produced is better than in coffee shops!!!!

I love this product. Its incredible. And AO deliver once again!

Great entry level coffe machine. Today's espresso hit me so hard that my hands are still shaking. I like the milk jug and its built in thermometer which makes milk frapping even easier/ better control. Brushed steel makes it look awsome comparing to all the others plastic like ones. I am still trying to find the perfect set up for myself (coffe ammount or milk ratio). It does give you loots of possibilities of making a coffe. And it is seriously looks awsome, I love the friends jelaous faces when coming for a coffee.

I’d been wanting and looking for a manual espresso machine for a long while and kept stumbling across the Sage products. After many evenings watching YouTube reviews and plenty of research, I took the plunge and went for the the Barista Express! It heats up within seconds from turning on, the grinder is brilliant with the ability to adjust the grind size and amount to taylor to different beans and preference. The pump/steam arm are really decent for the size of the machine allowing to make all espresso/steamed milk coffees - but most importantly it makes amazing cafe quality coffee, in the comfort of your own home! If you have any issues using the machine/dialling in the grind, watch YouTube tutorials and also start with the double walled baskets as they’re more forgiving. Over the moon with my purchase!!

Very pleased with our coffee machine looks fab and makes great coffee.
