We've had Sage coffee machines for about 5 years now and we drink a lot of coffee! We had the Duo Temp Pro twice before (we killed it after an excessive amount of coffees and not regular enough maintenance). I prefer this one: it offers a 'walk away' experience. You can program your shot extraction length so all you do is push a button. The milk is automatic and it makes a gorgeous cuppa. It has built in idiot features like it won't let you make a shot without enough water in the tank, it will tell you when it needs a clean and descale. In my busy life, these are valuable. The only down is that it doesn't seem quite as solid and heavy as the Duo Temp Pro, but for me, so far (1 week in) I am in love!

This little machine is fantastic, easy to use and clean. Large water tank so more cups per fill. The milk frother is wonderful, pop the wand in the jug set your preference and hey presto in less than 2 minutes hot steamy super silky frothy milk, No more standing there with a jug and semi warm spitting milk. 100% would recommend

Great Coffee Machine

Well built, makes a nice cup of coffee and for the price performs well. Auto milk is a nice touch as my girlfriend has very little interest in getting too involved with the ins and outs of espresso.

Great little espresso machine for beginners and professionals. Still learning, but makes great tasting coffee. The milk frother is brilliant for making cappuccino's - and latte art if you're so inclined!

I’ve been using for 2 weeks now and started to get my work flow a bit slicker and you can make a Coffee pretty quickly with minimal clean up time. The pre-heat time is great, no waiting time required and switch over steam wand is also quick. My bugs are: could do with being heavier as the machine moves during portafilter lock-in. Second bug is the basket is too tight in the portafilter, making it difficult to remove and clean. Apart that would recommend.

The coffee maker starts up incredibly quickly and is ready to use in seconds. It comes with both single skin and pressurised baskets which is great. It’s the first coffee maker I’ve ever been able to use a single skinned basket on. Great looking machine as well. Best feature for me is the self cleaning wand. Fantastic.

Overall a great machine but annoyingly for the cost build quality seems off. Drip tray does not seat correctly and causes water to spill on worktop. At least it is covered by full warranty and claiming is a breeze so aftercare is spot on. Some great features on this little machine including auto milk steaming and a super quick heat up time make it a winner still
