Sage the Barista Pro Espresso Machine, Bean to Cup Coffee Machine with Milk Frother, SES878BSS - Brushed Stainless Steel

Product Information

But if you want to get closer and closer to your perfect flat white, latte or cappuccino, you can tweak these settings until you're happy with it, and then save that exact setting as a new drink.

The machine assists you on getting the perfect dose volume (the height of the ground coffee) in the basket the first time you use it (or whenever you change beans or substantially change the grind size), and it then learns how long to grind for each time so you can forget about it. With the adjustable grind control, you can easily choose from 30 precision grind settings to get the perfect grind for your espresso. The other category is the coffee lover who wants control over the brewing process and wants to learn how to make the best espresso in the comfort of their home. If you fall into the latter category, then the Breville Barista Pro or Express is the way to go.

Where precision meets speed.

This is made even more confusing given that the UK Breville brand are selling some machines that look quite similar to some of the Sage machines, and have similar sounding names, so I do hear from people who made the assumption that they'd basically found great deal for a sage coffee machine. If you have wide cappuccino cups, and you like to make two lattes at a time for yourself and your better half, for example, by splitting a double shot, you'll probably have room for that on the drip tray of the oracle touch, but there isn't quite the same horizontal space on the drip tray of the Touch Impress, so you may have to split the shot into two shot glasses and then decant these into the cappuccino cups. The main differences between Breville Barista Pro and Barista Express: 1. Faster heat-up time – the ThermoJet system

You have way more control over the temperature, with 11 settings vs 2, and a bigger texture range with 8 vs 3. The Duo Temp Pro is Sage's answer to the more old school single boiler espresso machines such as the Gaggia Classic and Rancilio Silvia. I will notice a difference in the 11 setting versus 12 for the Pro, which means nearly twice the precision has an impact on espresso extraction. Both machines sit within the mid-range of Breville’s lineup– not cheap, but much less than high-end machines. The Sage Barista Express is an excellent choice for beginners who would love to make and enjoy barista-style espresso drinks at home.If you're not quite sure which kind of machine may be right for you, you can work it out by what kind of coffee machine you're replacing, and why you're replacing it. Bean to Cup Coffee Machine Users The Barista Pro is the Sage machine I'd recommend to anyone who's looking to get into coffee as a home barista, and who wants an integrated grinder espresso machine. Most people are more than happy with the cappuccino, latte and Americano these kinds of machines will make, and if you are, there's absolutely nothing wrong with bean to cup machines, they can be a very cheap, convenient and reliable way to drink great quality coffee shop favourites at home.
