We did a lot of research to work out which espresso machine would offer the best quality versus value for money and settled on the Sage Barista Pro. It’s easy to use, easy to clean and as long as you use some decent beans, makes a fantastic coffee. It’s not cheap but so far it’s seems that you get what you pay for.

It’s great, it’s fun... but not for everyone. If your espresso is more than “down-in-one and go” thing, then this machine is just perfect. It helps fine tuning the ritual of coffee making by bringing nuisances of the process to your attention and allowing you to learn. You can adjust virtuall everything, including the temperature of your beverage. But be warn - learning process can result in caffeine overdose, as in pursuit of that perfect shot, you will try many cups...

This machine is fantastic! Easy to set up, easy to use and professional tasting coffee every time... we would definitely recommend this coffee machine.

This machine makes fantastic, delicious coffee. Fact. ... just don’t think that you will be able to achieve that first time around. Machines like this require a bit of patience and thought, and trust me - you will make amazing drinks. If you don’t want to put any effort in, spend time looking at different coffee beans etc and not learn how to froth milk properly, then get a machine that takes one of those pre-made pods. However, if you’d do put a bit of time and effort in to this, you will make far better and superior drinks than anything you can get from a pod. (Think about the plastic your saving as well!) 100% go buy this.

We had the predecessor to this Sage Barista. The enhancements are great and have been well thought out. There are many much more expensive models but this does everything that we need for a great cup of coffee.

I previously had a very expensive built in coffee machine which I thought made good coffee until I made coffee from this machine. It’s brilliant It’s not the press of a button easy like my previous machine but although it takes more time and skill, it’s well worth it. If you like coffee from the bean to cup then you’ll love this machine

Absolutely in love with this machine, easy set up, all equipment included that is needed for first time purchase. Would highly recommend ??

Takes a bit of time to get used to but makes a good cup of coffee. Can be quite messy but is extremely easy to Clean. If you really like your coffee then I’d highly recommend spending the extra cash and buy this one over the barista express.
