Sage Coffee Machines
Sage coffee machines often include an integrated burr grinder that has an easy grind amount dial that lets you pour the ground beans directly into the portafilter. They also have a low pressure pre-infusion and 9 bar extraction system to guarantee the best espresso flavor every time.
Select the single or double shot. Steam the milk using the steam wand that is automatic, and enjoy your cafe coffee at your home.
Barista Express
The Barista Express is an espresso maker with top-quality that brings the cafe experience to your home. It comes with a variety of features that will allow people to improve their abilities. But, it also provides options to help novices get good shots quickly. It's a bit more expensive than the other models we have tested, but it offers the highest performance.
The machine is equipped with a thermocoil which is quick to heat and allows easy transitions between the brewing process and vaporizing. It is one of a few machines that create the perfect layer of steamed-milk for lattes. This can be a difficult task without a lot of practice. This feature was important to us because we wanted a machine to produce the rich, creamy cafe style of coffee we love. The Barista Express did achieve this however it took longer than other models we looked at.
It comes with a large water tank that holds up to 67 ounces. It is easy-to-refill and has an integrated water filter which reduces impurities to keep your coffee fresh. Another advantage is that the machine is easy to clean. It is recommended to remove the machine every three to five months to avoid mineral buildup on the internal components.
The Barista Express, like the other Breville machines we've tested, is designed for users to practice their skills. The machine does not have some of the features available in other Breville machines, like an automatic milk maker and a display that shows the amount of water or pressure that is being used. However, this doesn't mean that the Barista Express isn't a great alternative for coffee lovers who are looking to upgrade their home espresso machine.
This model comes with four portsafilters, both pressurized and unpressurized versions. The machine is also equipped with a high-quality tamper that is convenient and easy to use. The tamper comes with a broad range of adjustments that lets you achieve the perfect amount of pressure on your grounds when making a shot. It also comes with a pre-infusion low-pressure stage which can help level out the grind, and ensure an even extraction at 9 bar pressure.
Dual Boiler
This machine was developed by Sage (or Breville in other countries) for those who would like cafe-quality espresso at home. It has a couple of features that distinguish it from other machines. It firstly, it has a bottomless portafilter, which gives the espresso shot a lovely appearance and lets you see how much pre-infusion has occurred. Additionally, it has an automatic button that keeps the machine in pre-infusion until you press the manual button again. This is a fantastic feature that replicates the way baristas at cafes work and allows you to pull amazing shots each time.
It also comes with a stunning steam pressure gauge and the ability to alter the power of the pre-infusion according to the time taken for extraction. This is another feature which isn't common on domestic machines, but can make a huge difference to the consistency of your shots. It also has a handy window that displays the water level so you can determine when it is time to refill.
The most significant thing that distinguishes this machine from the other Sage options is that it features a dual boiler system. It can steam and brew simultaneously. This is extremely useful when making milk-based drinks. It also has a PID, which gives you control over the brew temperature which isn't available on many other machines. The only downside is that this machine costs more than a single boiler or heat-exchanger systems.
The EB590 also has a range of other features. For instance, it could be programmed to turn off at a specific time so that it's ready when you are. This is a fascinating feature that is not found on many machines. It's a great feature for people who depend on their coffee maker in the morning to get them up.
It also has standby mode and auto shutoff that are both extremely useful features for energy efficiency. The auto shutdown is especially useful as it will automatically shut off after an hour of inactivity. This will reduce your electricity bill and also prolong the longevity of the device.
Oracle
Sage coffee machines for offices machines are designed to be used by the user, and this is evident from their range. They've realised that not everyone wants to face the challenges of barista style espresso making. Therefore, their machines are designed to automate the process as much as is possible while allowing the user to participate in the extraction and shaping of the milk to create cappuccino and Latte art. Many of their models have an integrated burr grinder, or are compatible with stand alone models to provide the full bean-to-cup experience.
The Oracle is a good example of this. It comes with the amazing Sage Dual Boiler at its base and makes use of it to produce excellent quality espresso. It then adds automated dosing, tamping and milk texturing to eliminate the need for any level of barista skill. Other features include programmable pouring as well as a triple-heat system. The disadvantage is that it's one of the more expensive coffee machines for domestic use on the market.
If you're seeking a lower-cost Sage machine, then the Duo Temp Pro might be worth a look. It doesn't have the App technology or pressure gauge of the Oracle but it is still an excellent bean to cup machine. It has a huge tank of water and can be used for both filter coffee and ground coffee. It also has a steam wand and an electronic guide display. The time to heat up of three seconds is quite impressive. The majority of commercial machines take a lot longer to reach the temperature needed to extract.
Sage Precision Brewer, the most recent addition to the range of filter coffee makers by Sage is a machine which is not only expensive but also comes with a variety of distinctive and useful features. This makes it stand out amongst its competition. It includes several fittings on the brew basket so you can use different filters. The inner cone is able to be removed to reuse filters. It also comes with a handy timer that lets you set it up at evening before to make an easy filter coffee jug in the morning. The automatic milk texturing is an excellent feature too and can be adjusted to your preference to make a smooth or frothy brew.
Duo Temp Pro
The Sage Duo Temp Pro is an ideal machine for those looking to prepare third wave specialty coffee at home. This espresso maker features a low-pressure pre-infusion system that guarantees even extraction and a balanced flavor. It comes with an tamper that makes it easier to apply the right amount pressure when compacting the coffee grounds into the portafilter. It also comes with a handy maintenance indicator that informs you when it is time to clean your machine.
The Duo Temp Pro has a many great features that set it apart from other espresso machines available. The automatic purge feature makes sure that the water temperature remains consistent throughout the making process. The stainless steel tank is built to last. It comes with an 1800W heating system that includes thermocoils that ensure you get the highest quality espresso every time.
It is important to keep in mind that this machine does not have a built-in grinder. To get the best out of this machine it is recommended that you use either a Sage Barista Touch grinder or an external grinder with a dose control setting. It is also not self-cleaning. You'll need to perform routine maintenance such as decalcifying and cleaning. These tasks will take around 30 minutes, but they're not difficult and are an essential part of maintaining the machine.
If you're a novice in making espresso, the Duo Temp Pro will require some learning curves. It's not as simple to use as fully automatic machines but you can make a fantastic cup of espresso by following the steps. The brew-valve sprays a tiny amount of water at lower pressure on the grinds prior to increasing the pressure. This can help fix any small mistakes made in the tamping process and the size of the grind. This allows new users to have an equilibrating tasting cup.
The Duo Temp Pro also has steam wands that have a 1600 watt element. This will produce a lot of milk to make cappuccinos or flat whites. It comes with a substantial steel milk container that is able to handle high temperatures for microfoam. The wand also has an adjustable dial that allows you complete control over the duration of your steaming time.
