Sage the Dual Boiler Espresso Machine, Coffee Machine with Milk Frother, BES920UK - Brushed Stainless Steel, Silver

Product Information

After my Sage bean to cup coffee machine started to overfill cups I was informed by the manufacturer that I needed to run the cycle through with this product. I certainly can’t think of a cheaper model with dual stainless steel boilers, volumetric dosing, PID temperature control, and programmable pre-infusion. Several service engineers have told me that the Dual Boiler is a good machine but there is only one appointed Sage service agent who also deal with all warranty work but I cannot even find out who they are. Over Pressure Valve: This commercial feature limits the maximum pressure throughout the extraction, preventing bitter flavours in the shot. Please note: Stoneware, glass and electrical items can only be delivered to UK addresses (including UK Offshore).

Litre water tank, filled from the top at the front or by removing the tank from the rear | Big tank with different filling options means less filling and less faff.So the advice here is to regularly change your water filter based upon your water hardness, and also ensure you follow the descale schedule also depending on your water hardness. The little “Empty Me” paddle that pops up when the drip tray is full, it just makes sense, and you'd think drip tray full indicators would be a standard thing, but they're definitely not. The boilers will drain into the drip tray – a far cry from many machines requiring you to remove the outer casing and dig around inside.

There are filters for single and double shots of espresso, which come in single and dual wall varieties. OK so Sage are great when it comes to the little things I've mentioned above, but there are some really big things they've innovated with the Sage dual boiler. PIDs are a modern addition to espresso makers, providing far superior temperature control when compared with the pressure states found on older or cheaper models ( 1).So you can extract your shot at the right temperature, delivering optimal flavour, while simultaneously steaming your milk to cafe quality. As you’ll see in the following paragraphs, Dual Boiler offers a lot of features you’d expect to find on way-more-expensive prosumer espresso machines. From an aesthetic standpoint, this machine looks very much like every other Sage appliance, and how you feel about it will be a matter of personal taste. So while a well-maintained prosumer machine might last a decade or more, a more realistic lifespan for a Sage is 3 to 5 years, though there are always exceptions.
