Firstly the barista express is a thing or beauty (in my eyes at least) it looks really good just sat on the work top and looks/ feels of very good quality. Initial set up is very easy, however to properly dial the machine in does take a little more time, adjusting dosage, grind etc but the results are well worth it as we now have coffee shop quality at home, Just as a little tip, the beans you buy are probably 70% of the quality, we used generic and the pressure just didnt build. So we went to a local roaster and bought fresher beans (buy with a roasted on date and use with in a month or two) this made the world of difference. Overall we are super happy with the quality/ design/ coffee quality of this machine.

Having developed a love for coffee I felt it was time to ditch the nespresso pod machine and go for something that would give a professional coffee at home. Have had the machine a week now and it’s been amazing. There is a lot to learn about how to get the right dose, tamp and grind size right to get the best shot of espresso but when you get it right you are getting a perfect tasting coffee. Very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend.

Amazing machine...looks great, easy to use and makes wonderful coffee, gorgeous frothy milk and wicked expresso. Still playing about with the different grinds and trying to decide which coffee is the favourite but that’s part of the fun. Couldn’t fault it. Great price too in the sale from AO and delivery efficient and great communications. You need a bit of space to put it, but as it looks great that doesn’t matter. Very happy.

Amazing quick and easy to use I make a coffee at least once a day with it

Initially both me and my husband thought what have we done spending over £400 on a coffee machine that does not seem to be giving a decent coffee. (By the way we are coffee addicts who appreciate good coffee) We have been using a lavazza pod machine that gave reasonable coffee but the amount of money I have spent on pods I could have bought this machine twice over!! Anyway after sometime spent watching videos on how to use the Sage machine we have now mastered it and the espresso coffee we are getting takes us back to Sicily!! Please be aware this is not a quick push button coffee machine - so if you want that stick to the pod machines as the Sage machine is the full on barista experience and now we have it would we never go back to the pods again!! We would highly recommend it . ??

Bought to replace my nespresso machine. Clearly a little more effort but the machine is very simple to use. Great coffee too

:) Thank you for delivering on time and with great efficency

Not used my new Sage coffee machine that many times yet as I have just got it but it was easy to set up and use straight out of the box. The coffee I have made to date has been very good and I am enjoying altering the grind size and quantities to find my ‘perfect brew’. The machine feels and looks like a very solid and hopefully long lasting kitchen addition.Also special mention to AO.com where I purchased it. I found the machine cheaper a couple of days after I received it from AO. One phone call to them and they refunded the difference. Very good service. I have never purchased from them before but might well do more in the future!
