12 Best Sage Coffee Machines (For 2024)
Sage Coffee Machines in my opinion are the best domestic coffee machines around on the whole.
I find that Sage have nailed the balance between quality, user-friendliness, value and robustness.
Having cut my teeth in the coffee industry as a barista, I’ve worked on many commercial coffee machines that costs tens of thousands and I to tell the truth was always a little critical when it came to how good home coffee machines could be.
Until I started venturing into my own home coffee set-up and trying out Sage machines.
Sage practice what they preach, their coffee machines are designed for you, the home barista, the coffee extracting extraordinaire.
Although there are a minority of home baristas that want to spend a small fortune on an espresso machine that is an all singing all dancing commercial standard bit of kit. Sage understand that the vast majority want a high quality coffee with as little effort as possible
I think that there is a Sage coffee machine for everyone, from espresso to Nespresso. All with varying degrees of functionality and control.

Why Trust Me? I’m Tom and I’ve been working in the coffee industry for over 10 years and I’ve worked on countless espresso machines. I am the founder of Batch Coffee Club, we showcase incredible coffee in our specialty coffee subscription and review coffee equipment like these Sage Coffee Machines below.
Which Sage Coffee Machine Is Best For You?
There are currently 3 different types of Sage coffee machines on the market:
Espresso Machines
Filter Coffee Machines
Nespresso Machines
Each one has its differences in price, type of coffee and functionality.
I have covered the pros and cons of some of the attributes of each below.
Sage Espresso Machines
There are 9 different Sage Espresso machines on offer at the time of writing ranging in price and functionality.
These are the most sought after type of coffee machine that Sage manufactures and have cemented their place as home coffee machine giants.
You can make many different types of coffee with an Espresso machine, cappuccino, flat white, latte, espresso and Americano to name a few.
Espresso machines use around 18g of freshly ground coffee to extract a small concentrated shot of espresso that can then be made into the various forms of coffee, some listed above.
A Sage Espresso Machine is for those that want to make ‘coffee shop coffee’ at home. It’s not quite a push of a button coffee, so if you’re the sort to grab and go in the morning this may not be for you.
Having said that some of the higher-end Sage Espresso Machines rival even pod machines for convenience and speed.
Sage Filter Coffee Machines
There is only one filter machine that Sage manufactures called the Sage Precision Brewer.
You may already have a drip filter coffee machine in your home or certainly come across them. It brews ground coffee via a shower head that drips through a paper or mesh filter.
The end result is a filter coffee or black coffee.
These are great if you are a black coffee drinker especially if you brew more than one at once.
Sage Nespresso Machines
I don’t think Nespresso machines need any introduction after they rose to popularity via a few successful commercials by a certain silver haired Hollywood star as well as their ease and convenience.
A coffee filled pod is locked into a brew chamber before hot water is forced through creating an ‘espresso-like’ coffee.
Sage has three Nespresso machines on the market today, from mid range through to top of the range.
All with the classic Sage engineering style and intuitive functionality.

TOM'S TOP TIP
Want to save up to £200 on your new Sage coffee machine?
Sage Barista Pro
Control ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Espresso
Tank Capacity - 2 Litres
Dimensions - H40.6 x W35.4 x D40.6cm
Features - Grinder, Steamer, Pre-Infuse, LCD Display
The Sage Barista Pro is one of, if not the most popular Sage coffee on the market today.
It has a great balance of control, ease of use and value for money.
Dial in your machine as if you were a barista, grind the coffee and adjust the size of the ground easily with the dial on the side of the machine.
Weigh your portafilter and adjust the length of time in which the grinder grinds your coffee easily with the dial on the front of the machine.
The Sage barista pro puts the many variables of making espresso coffee in your hands.
You can easily adjust the dose, grind size and water temperature at the twist of a dial or the push of a button.
The milk frother does occasionally take a little while to get going, but as soon as the required pressure has built the steam wand enable you to texture the milk like a pro.
The LCD screen enables you to clearly see the settings for each variable alongside alerts when the water needs to be filled and the machine needs to be flushed or descaled.

2. Sage Dual Boiler
Control ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Espresso
Tank Capacity - 2.5 Litres
Dimensions - H37.3 x W37.3 x D37.1cm
Features - Dual Boiler, Steamer, Pre-Infuse, LCD Display.
The Sage Dual Boiler espresso machine is one for the purists.
It’s very much a domestic version of a commercial espresso machine as it doesn’t have the built in grinder like many of the other Sage coffee machines and has two separate boilers.
The dual boiler enables you to operate the espresso part of the machine and extract your coffee, while at the same time using the other boiler steam milk.
This is something that is very important in coffee shops as a latte would take almost double the time to make.
At home maybe it’s not as important to you, but this feature will trim your latte making time down significantly.
I would certainly look into these guys if you’re usually making three or more milky coffees at once.
The engineering behind Sage coffee machines is always top draw and the Dual boiler is no different.
From the heating element inside the group head to add extra heat when needed during extraction to the refilling of the brew boiler via the steam boiler to ensure refill time between shots is in seconds rather than minutes, everything is geared for espresso perfection.
The Sage Dual boiler doesn’t come with a grinder so you will have to purchase one separately.
Sometimes the built in grinders have their limits and you may want to purchase a more finely tuned grinder anyway so you may want a more finely tuned grinder.
This instance also fits folks who like to brew in various methods and therefor need a separate grinder for pour over and espresso.
If the Dual Boiler feels right then:
3. Sage Bambino Plus
Control ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Espresso
Tank Capacity - 1.9 Litres
Dimensions - H31 x W19 x D32cm
Features - Steamer, Pre-Infuse, 3 Second Heat up, Slimline.
The Bambino series is the slim lined and compact Sage espresso machine.
Perfect for your flat with limited worksurface or perhaps you already have a grinder.
The Bambino Plus is the upgrade from the OG Bambino with a few useful tweaks.
The Bambino machines have a pre-infuse option like the larger Sage espresso machines that you can manually adjust.
The three second heat up time is something that is a huge benefit of purchasing a Sage coffee machine, one of their brand ethics is to listen and that’s exactly what they have done here.
Most people who have worked in a speciality coffee shop will know that commercial machines take at least 20 minutes to heat up and start operating at a decent level.
Unfortunately your average home barista doesn’t have that long to wait in the morning so Sage developed a 3 second heat up time to optimum temperature so you can pretty much turn on and go.
A few key differences between the Bambino Plus and the original Bambino are automatic milk texturing, App based technology and PID.
Firstly the bambino plus has an option for you to choose the milk temperature and essentially lets you automatically texture the milk.
It is installed with the technology for you to be able to hook up an app operated by BILT to guide you through the process in 3D.
Lastly and most importantly for me the digital temperature control or PID (proportional Integral Derivative) is another key difference between the two machines.
This small feature ensures the exact temperature and pressure are achieved during extraction of espresso.
Is the Bambino Plus what you are looking for?
4. Sage Barista Express
Control ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Espresso
Tank Capacity - 2 Litres
Dimensions - H40 x W32.5 x D31cm
Features - Grinder, Steamer, Pre-Infuse, Cup warmer
Sage’s original all in one espresso machine.
The Sage Barista Express has a built in grinder and steam wand so you can make barista standard coffee at home.
The Barista Express is a fantastic espresso machine for those that are looking to perfect their skills as a home barista and are looking to understand what is actually happening during extraction.
The built-in pressure gauge on the front of the machine shows the exact bar of pressure during each shot, so you can make informed decisions on the grind and dose for espresso perfection.
The process of extracting an espresso is very similar to the Sage barista Pro above.
Set the grind size on the dial to the left of the machine and the dose (essentially the amount of time the grinder operates) on the dial on the front of the machine.
Tamp the coffee and then lock into the group head before selecting either the preset double or single shot coffee.
Steam the milk by filling the jug up to the bottom of the spout and texturing until the milk becomes warm.
You’re aiming to sit the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the revolving milk, it should make a ripping sound.

5. Sage Oracle
Control ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Espresso
Tank Capacity - 2.5 Litres
Dimensions - H44.7 x W37.3 x D36.8cm
Features - Grinder, Steamer, Dual Boiler, Automatic Steamer and Tamper, LCD Screen.
The Sage Oracle espresso machine is their top of the range ‘sports car’ coffee machine.
This guy has been expertly engineered to minimise the time it take for you to make your favourite coffee while at the same time deliver super high quality espresso.
Set your grind and dose like other LCD screen Sage machines by adjusting the dials on the side and front respectively.
The Sage Oracle comes with an automatic tamper, simply twist your portafilter into the grinder cradle as you would with the group head to activate the grind.
The oracle will then dose and tamp your coffee grounds automatically for incredibly accuracy and consistency.
Pull your espresso by twisting the portafilter into the machine and hitting your double shot button.
To texture the milk, set the end temperature on the LCD screen to the desired amount of foam and submerge the steam wand.
Because the Sage Oracle has a dual boiler you are able to texture your milk at the same time as pulling a shot of espresso.
Once you have finished with the steam wand it will automatically purge to clean out any milk.
This machine is engineered to automate as many variables in brewing espresso as possible.
It essentially means that you will still have to do a little work but a consistent coffee should comes easier and quicker than other machines.
A great choice for an office coffee machine.
If the Sage Oracle would fit in well with your other kitchen appliances:
6. Sage Barista Touch
Control ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Espresso
Tank Capacity - 2 Litres
Dimensions - H40.7 x W32.2 x D39.4cm
Features - Grinder, Steamer, Pre-Infuse, Touch Screen
The Sage Barista Touch is the touch screen upgraded version of the Sage Barista Pro.
This machine allows you to swipe through the LCD menu and select a coffee of your choice (espresso, flat white, latte, cappuccino, americano).
Upon selection you are then prompted to steam the milk and pull the shot.
There is a thermostat built into the drip tray just underneath where you sit the milk jug that detects the heat of the jug and prompts the automatic steam wand to stop heating the milk.
You are also able to program your own customised coffee into the machine by selecting the size of the espresso (single or double), the heat of the milk and the amount of foam.
The workflow of creating a shot of coffee is very similar to the barista pro.
Rest the portafilter on the group head and activate the grind by pushing the button behind the rest.
Although the milk texturing on this machine is automatic, you will still need to tamp your coffee before you make a shot.
The Sage Barista touch offers an option for those that are concerned about having to master the art of texturing milk.
It still gives you a couple of jobs to take care of, like grinding and tamping but rest assured that you will be able to produce almost barista standard milk at the push of a button. Take a look at the coffee machine sale page for an updated list of coffee machine deals.
Is the Sage Barista Touch your type of coffee machine?
7. Sage Bambino
Control ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Espresso
Tank Capacity - 1.4 Litres
Dimensions - H31 x W19.5 x D32cm
Features - Steamer, Pre-Infuse, 3 Second Heat Up.
The Bambino is the original slim lined espresso machine from Sage.
Its slim and compact design have no way compromised the quality of the coffee with the same pressure in the larger machines, the Bambino doesn’t struggle to produce those rich velvety shots of espresso.
The three second heat up time is a key feature of these machines.
It enables you to fire up the machine almost instantaneously and extract the perfect espresso in no time at all.
You will need a grinder if you opt for a Bambino, but it’s a great machine for those who may already have a coffee grinder and takes up little space while sacrificing very little on the espresso quality front.
One of the few issues with the Bambino is that the group head it comes with is a little different to the more expensive models and has a two funnels instead of spouts.
It is quite common for one to drip faster than the other, It doesn’t affect the end shot if you’re pulling a double but if you split the shot then one may be larger than the other and with a different ratio of the coffee extraction.
If you need a Bambino in your life:
8. Sage Duo Temp Pro
Control ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Espresso
Tank Capacity - 1.8 Litres
Dimensions - H33 x W27.9 x D25.4cm
Features - Steamer, Pre infusion, Cup warmer
The Duo Temp Pro is the simple yet effective espresso machine from Sage that delivers great espresso without all the flashing lights.
The robust build is typical of Sage products.
The water tank at the back of the machine is removable, so simply fill this with water when it runs low and replace the filter every few months.
Grind your coffee first (The Duo Temp Pro is an espresso machine without a grinder).
Firmly tamp the coffee with the espresso tamper and lock into the group head.
Twist the dial anticlockwise to begin extraction. Unlike other Sage espresso machines the Duo Temp Pro doesn’t have the preset single or double shot buttons (these are basically preprogrammed timers with some allowing you to set the pressure), what this means is you’re in control of the shot.
If you have espresso coffee scales then simply sit the cup on top and stop the extraction when the espresso reaches your desired weight (normally around 25g - 40g for a double).
The steam is activated by twisting the dial clockwise.
Purge the steam wand first and then start steaming the milk in a revolving motion before pouring your best rosetta.
If the Sage Duo Temp Pro is what you’re after:
9. Sage Oracle Touch
Control ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Espresso
Tank Capacity - 2.5 Litres
Dimensions - H45.4 x W39.2 x D37.3cm
Features - Grinder, Steamer, Dual Boiler, Automatic Steamer and Tamper, Touch Screen
The Oracle Touch is at the very top of the Sage espresso machine range.
The same as the Barista touch is to the Barista Pro this guy offers a few extra points on the spec than the original Oracle.
Firstly the Touch screen allows you to program your own coffee as well as select from the host of pre-programmed coffees.
Although this would fall into the bracket of an automatic espresso machine, you still have to do a little bit of work, however Sage have purposely removed any variables that usually occur during espresso brewing and you are effectively just transferring ground coffee between areas of the machine.
Once you have selected your coffee, twist the portafilter into the group head to begin the grind and tamp, simply lock into the group head and begin the extraction.
The milk can then be textured by placing it on the drip tray and inserting the steam wand.
There is a thermocouple on the end of the steam wand to stop the steaming when the milk is at the required temperature.
All you then have to do is pour that deliciously textured milk onto your espresso and create some ‘instagramable’ latte art (I’m afraid Sage haven’t invented latte art technology - one for the future of Sage machines maybe?).
If you have a bit of extra cash to spend on a coffee machine and you can look past the price point then the Sage Oracle Touch delivers as close as you will get to a barista standard coffee with the least amount of effort.
Are you in the market for a Sage Oracle Touch?
10. Sage Precision Brewer
Control ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Filter Coffee
Tank Capacity - 1.8 Litres
Dimensions - H39.5 x W36 x D16.8cm
Features - Flat and Cone Filter Baskets, 6 Brew Presets, Adjustable Brew Time and Temperature.
The Sage precision brewer was finally released after a lengthy wait and burst onto the home coffee brewing scene.
The Sage coffee filter machine is priced at the top end but has some unique and super useful functions that justify the cost.
Firstly the Sage filter coffee machine like all Sage products is designed with the customers needs the primary focus.
It has multiple fittings for the brew basket so you can use cone filters or detach the inner cone to use flat bottom paper filters or the metal filter basket.
There is also an option to remove the filter attachment completely and place your pour-over brewer over the thermal jug.
The programmability is where the Sage precision drip coffee maker really justifies the price tag though.
There are a number of preset functions that brew great coffee straight out of the box, Gold, Fast and Strong have pre-programmed variables.
The best part about the Precision brewer for me though is the My Brew function that lets you program the bloom volume, bloom time, pour-over flow rate and temperature.
When you combine the precision of these variables as this filter machine does, it’s hard to even compete with a manual brew method.
If you’re a cold brew drinker the Sage precision brewer has an option for you to slowly brew with cold water for upto 14 hours.
There is also a timer so you can load up the basket with ground coffee the night before and wake up to a jug of delicious filter coffee, perfect for early mornings.
Although it maybe doesn’t have the complete lazy boy coffee making approach like some bean to cup coffee machines the Sage Precision brewer has pretty much everything else.

11. Sage Creatista Plus
Control ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Nespresso
Tank Capacity - 1.5 Litres
Dimensions - H31 x W16.8 x D41.4cm
Features - Automatic Steam Wand, Digital Guide Display, 3 Second Heat Up.
The Creatista Plus Nespresso machine by Sage is the mid range machine that Sage offers.
The idea is very similar to the Creatista Uno, you have your Nespresso maker on the left of the machine where you insert your pods to extract coffee.
The right hand part is again where Sage have introduced their milk texturing technology.
The Creatista Plus allows you to select the coffee you wish to brew on the LCD screen, the technology then guides you through the extraction and the texturing of the milk.
There are 8 texture levels achievable with the Creatista Plus alongside 11 temperature settings, so you can cater for even the fussiest of cappuccino drinkers.
Sage has also introduced the 3 second heat up time similar to the Bambino Plus. This allows you to be able to brew consistent coffee much quicker.
Is the Sage Creatista Plus what you are looking for?
12. Sage Creatista Pro
Control ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Nespresso
Tank Capacity - 2 Litres
Dimensions - H32.8 x W19.7 x D42.9cm
Features - Automatic Steam Wand, Dual Thermojet, Customised Coffee Drinks.
The Creatista Pro as you may have guessed by the name is the top end of Nespresso machines.
The price point reflects more of an espresso machine than a pod machine, however there are a few functionality upgrades that may entice you into splashing out.
The Creatista Pro’s selling point is 2 cappuccinos in 75 seconds.
This is because there is a dual ‘thermojet’ heating system and in combination with the 3 second heat up time allows you to extract the Nespresso pods at the same time as automatically texturing the milk.
The LCD screen on the Pro Nespresso machine gives you the option to fully customise your milk based espresso drink with adjustable coffee volume, milk temperature and milk texture.
The machine is also preprogrammed with 8 of the classic coffees that you can select straight out the box.
Another key feature of the Creatista Pro is the hot water spout that gives you the option to preheat your cups or use the water to make a long black.
How does the Sage Creatista Pro sound?
13. Sage Creatista Uno
Control ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Ease Of Use ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Value For Money ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Type of Coffee Machine - Nespresso
Tank Capacity - 1.5 Litres
Dimensions - H31 x W16.8 x D41.4cm
Features - Steam Wand, 8 Preset Coffee Drinks, Auto-Clean
The Creatista Uno Nespresso machine is the entry level Nespresso machine produced by Sage.
The machine works very similarly to many other nespresso machines on the market.
Simply load your shot and extract your coffee.
The Creatista Uno comes with a built-in steam wand that lets you texture the milk automatically; this is why the machine demands a fairly high price point.
Sage have used their ‘advanced micro foam technology’ so you are able to select the amount of foam that the steam wand will automatically create, leaving you with perfectly textured milk to make your morning flat white of latte.
If the Sage Creatista Uno is the Nespresso machine of your dreams:
Are Sage Coffee Machines Easy To Operate?
Sage coffee machines are renowned for being extremely intuitive and easy to use.
Their motto: Listen. Obsess. Innovate. Test. Refine. Design.
Has led them to engineering coffee machines that produce high quality coffee with easy to use adjustments.
They have identified issues that baristas face when brewing coffee and have simplified the variables so you are able to create a barista standard coffee without all the training and expertise.
Does My Sage Coffee Machine Grind Coffee?
Some Sage espresso machines come with a built in coffee grinder such as the Sage barista pro whilst others like the Sage Bambino is only an expresso machine so you will have to grind the coffee before use.
Are Sage Coffee Machines Good?
Good is a very subjective word but in their arena I would say that they are top of the class.
Sage produce a range of domestic espresso, filter and Nespresso machines.
All at various price points and functionality.
One thing that you are always guaranteed with Sage is the fact that they have put the user first and listened to their needs to redesign and tweak each machine so that the coffee that you are brewing is the best it can possibly be.
What's The Difference Between Sage Barista Express and Pro?
The Sage Barista Pro and the Sage Barista Express are two very similar machines when it comes down to what is underneath the shell and the workflow of extracting espresso and texturing milk.
The differences are that the Barista Pro has an LCD screen that displays the grind size, and dose time alongside other indicators whilst the Barista Express has more of a manual approach and LED light indicators.
How Do I Clean My Sage Coffee Maker?
Sage has various machines that have a range of functionalities so the cleaning of your Sage coffee machine is normally specific to that machine.
The Sage Barista Pro for example has flush and descale functions that walks you through the cleaning of the machine by passing water or solution through the inner working of the machine.
If you have a Sage espresso machine I would always recommend you keep the Portafilter clean by flushing water through between each shot and every now and again remove the basket and give the whole thing a good scrub.
Always keep your steam wand clean and wipe down after each use.
You should be able to remove the end of the steam wand with a spanner, soak this in water every so often to remove any milk build up.
You may have seen baristas back flushing their espresso machine at the end of the day.
This is something that you can practice at home too and is essentially what the preprogrammed flush function does.
Simply place the blind filter (one without any holes) into the portafilter and with or without solution lock into the group head and activate the brew water.
This essentially passes water through the pipes and helps remove any build up.
Is Breville Now Called Sage?
Sage is the UK and European version of Breville that you will otherwise find around the rest of the world.
Breville products in the UK and Europe are not owned by the Breville group and offer a completely different range of products in the UK and Europe to Breville in other parts of the world.
You may see the exact same Sage grinder marketed as a Breville conical burr grinder in other countries.

Sage Coffee Machine Spare Parts
If a part of your Sage coffee machine breaks and you think it could be an easy fix then Sage offer a huge range of spare parts on their website for you to purchase directly.
On espresso machines it is fairly common for parts of the machine to break after a certain amount of time.
One such component is the portafilter and grouphead, because there is so much pressure in this part of the machine it is extremely common for the showerhead, the basket or the seal to develop small cracks that will lead to poor extraction of coffee.
If you can identify the problem Sage will have the spare part.

Can You Use Ground Coffee in a Sage Coffee Machine?
Yes you can.
Essentially you can use ground coffee in any espresso machine as long as it is not super automatic.
Some Sage coffee machines do not have a grinder built in like the Bambino Pro, so unless you already have a coffee grinder you will have to use ground coffee.
If you have a Sage coffee machine with a built in grinder then you can just add the coffee grounds straight into the portafilter and extract a shot.
Bear in mind that the coffee will have to be ground quite fine to produce a decent shot.
Why are sage coffee machines so expensive?
Sage machines may seem more expensive than other espresso machines, this is because they are constructed from high quality materials and brought together in an intuitive manner so you don’t have to be a trained barista to use them.
I would say that all Sage machines, albeit expensive compared to other brands, are of incredible value and worth spending the extra money.
How to Fix a Sage Coffee Machine?
Sage machines can unfortunately break from time to time, like any other coffee machine.
If your Sage coffee machine doesn’t seem to be working as it once did then contact Sage or find an espresso machine engineer.
