Is the water heated in a plastic or stainless steel container ?
I’m looking into this machine, I want a Starbucks / Dunkin Donuts style cappuccino in a tall cup 😉 . Will this be able to replicate that experience? (By the way BRILLIANT in depth review, exactly what I was looking for!)
Man, thanks a lot. You have a talent in explaining the product, and that’s something many lack. I’m going to get the machine after this video, you have explained everything really well. Cheers, brother!
I was just looking for some info in order to buy one for myself and your video just made me definitely sure this machine is what I need as well! Thanks for the upload and let’s keep up with the great coffees 🙂
And btw the audio quality was quite understandable too. Cheers
So a year later, how is it holding up? Its currently on sale here so I am really curious about the reviews of it 🙂
I gave you a *like* because the explanation was great and you covered the machine well – _but_ nearly 19 mins and you didn’t cover the steam wand?
Nice, honest review from a home user. Good work.
i am happy to see, that im not the only one who have problems to get the perfect espresso. i bought this machine for two days without the grinder. and now i have the problem to grind it correctly. i have a coffee grinder but its not fine enough, so i put it in the cruncher after grinding for some seconds and was lucky to get 1-2 great shots from 40 shots in the last hours. this is why i bought my favourite coffee from starbucks dark roast espresso. i bought it grinded and said for espresso machine. now it is sooo ultra fine grinded, that there is coming no coffee out in all filters and also with a soft tamping. i bought again some full beans and grinded it with my grinder and mixed it 50-50. so it works, but not perfect. and now my question. is it normally that the machine cant work with ultra fine coffee or is something wrong with my machine. i would happy if someone have an answer, that its normally and nothing broken. and sorry for the english. greets from germany
Man that’s a long video, and you don’t even show us a cup of coffee!
What about the milk steamer?
awful sound!!
Buff nerd
Do you still use the machine? If yes, how it holds so far.
Thanks and greetings from Bulgaria.
Not a bad video but the longest 18min of my life, I would definitely recommend watching one of the professional Sage video reviews for this machine, much more informative and quicker-paced.
Very helpful! Feels like a very honest review!
Why post if your audio sucks
Hello..I set up my machine this afternoon and did some testing. I just checked again (about 4hours later) and by chance found out that a lot of water was leaking. Have you ever had that before?
ha ha alright stranger!!!!
That’s the problem with this machine… The experimenting. By the time you get your espresso right, you’ve gone through a bag of your beans. Every time you try new beans you have to experiment again and waste more beans before you get it right. I think you end up experiencing more than actual drinking a good espresso.
I have one, got it 3 weeks ago. The first three days got me on a bizarre coffee high as I tried to figure out my tampering pressure and coarseness.
After 6 years with a fully automated Krups, I finally got at home that tick, creamy espresso that I could only get from the café across the street. It is, however, less efficient. I used to go through 250g of beans every two weeks and now I go through the same amount in a week only, for the same number of shots.
So I’m happy. Although, at times, I miss the “push a button and forget about it” approach. The whole process takes considerably longer (from turning on to having the machine clean), but it’s worth it. It helps me relax, because I need to focus on the process.
The downside is that, even after 3 weeks, 1 out of 10 shots fails completely. =)
Is a Sage the same as a Breville? Rebrand for another country maybe? It looks exactly like the Breville Barista Express BES870XL.
I’ve had it for over a year. Love it. Used it twice this morning. Best cup of espresso!
*Love this machine, it produces excellent expresso and love the frother.>>>**ur2.pl/1177** You can use the pressurized baskets if you don’t want to work to hard on the grind or you can really dial it in to get a perfect God shot with the single wall non pressurized baskets. I do wish that it came with an optional parnerello to make the frothing a little easier for those that don’t know how to use a frother. That bieng said it just takes a little practice to learn the technique. Produces a nice dry Puck once you get the grind right. All in all I like the machine and look forward to years of service as it seems well built. Grinder produces a good fine expresso grind as well*
Tell you something. I have done 200kg of coffee through it and still going strong. Great machine
I don’t know why this machine is advertised by some websites as being a “bean to cup machine”. It’s an espresso machine with a build in grinder
Thanks for the overview very useful. As for Ed’s comments, sorry the audio is fine clear and easy to understand, maybe check your settings.
