Product Information

Wipe down the body of the machine with a damp cloth, taking care not to get any water into the internal components of your Sage Dynamic Duo as this may damage them. Allow it to dry before plugging it in again. 3. Clean the brush heads There are multiple settings for grind quantity as well so you get just the right amount of coffee in the portafilter and the tamper is magnetically attached to the machine so its always at hand for you to compress the coffee before attaching it to the machine ready for the shot to be pulled. The Sage Precision comes with two filter baskets that allow you to perfect your brew. One filter basket is a flat-bottom basket, which is ideal for emphasising floral, chocolate, dried fruit, and sweeter flavours. The other is a semi-conical filter basket that is better at emphasising citrus, berry, and full-bodied notes. Six programmed modes

Cleaning your Sage Barista Pro is essential to properly maintain the machine. Here are some tips to help keep your Sage Barista Pro running smoothly: 1. Clean the group head Another thing you’ll need to do before your first use is a water flush so you can clean the system. Here are the steps to follow: In our testing, we used whole bean coffee that we ground just before use. The ideal grind was medium to coarse. If you use espresso coffee, you might find the coffee basket overflows. Grinding and tamping are very important if you want to produce the best possible coffee. Bean to cup coffee machines do a good job but not as good as using manual intervention in the right way which is why the coffee shops do it that way. You know what coffee you like, and you may even know how you prefer it brewed already. But sometimes the number of coffee machines and brewing methods can get a little overwhelming. That’s where the Sage Precision Brewer comes in.Firstly the bambino plus has an option for you to choose the milk temperature and essentially lets you automatically texture the milk. To prolong the life of your brewer, descale every 6-12 months. This involves running water through the system with a descaling solution to remove mineral build up and chlorine from your water supply. 6. Replace the water filter Keep an eye out for any build-up of oils or coffee residue on the inside of the machine itself. If you notice any, carefully remove it with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Be sure not to use anything abrasive that could scratch the surface of your Sage machine. The Barista Pro is the step up from the Barista Express. It does everything the Barista Express does and in addition enjoys a digital display that allows you to do things like select from 30 different grind settings and choose the length of time that the coffee is ground for.

A few key differences between the Bambino Plus and the original Bambino are automatic milk texturing, App based technology and PID. When buying coffee machines, it’s always nice to have something special or unique about it. With the Sage Precision Brewer, it’s the two filter baskets that make it unique. This is the only drip coffee maker that offers conical and flat-bottom filter baskets. Breville recommends washing the plastic brew basket, mesh basket filter, and glass carafe with warm, soapy water. The outer housing itself can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. The showerhead can be detached and wiped down, if necessary. The LCD will flash 'Descale' when the machine is ridden with calcium buildup and needs to be cleaned. To properly clean and maintain your Sage Precision Brewer, follow these simple steps: 1. Empty the filter basketDesign-wise, the Breville Precision Brewer is reminiscent of the Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select with the heating element and water reservoir on the left. and the brew basket and spray arm on the right. However, the Breville has a more traditional aesthetic compared to the industrial style of the Moccamaster. It’s important to understand that Sage coffee machines are NOT bean to cup coffee machines. With a bean to cup coffee machine, you press one button and the machine grinds the beans, tamps the coffee and automatically extracts the espresso into the cup.

We really like the stainless-steel carafe with its brew-through lid, which will keep your coffee piping hot for much longer than glass models. However, if you prefer elegance over quality since you usually drink your coffee immediately (fair enough!), the Sage also makes a Precision Brewer model that with a glass carafe instead. Ease Of Use – 4.5/5 Sage is an award-winning kitchen appliance company that’s best known for its bean to cup, espresso and drip coffee machines, alongside other devices like juicers, air fryers and pizza ovens. Sage coffee machines are some of the best coffee makers on the market, offering deep and tasty espresso, lattes and cappuccinos suited to every taste and budget.The Breville Precision Brewer is one noisy appliance. From the moment the start button is pushed, this coffee maker makes it known it's hard at work with a steady, jarring buzz that lasts until the water tank is completely empty. It wasn't the most pleasant sound to wake up to on mornings I had used the auto start feature, but at least it was effective in getting me out of bed. From there it steps up to The Bambino Plus. As well as the features of The Duo Temp Pro you also get to choose from 3 temperatures for your milk. Just place the jug underneath the steam wand and it will automatically stop when that temperature is reached. One button starts the coffee delivery and it will stop automatically. You can achieve the same thing from all three of them, it just depends how much you care about the extra things one comes with over the other and whether you are prepared to pay for it. Sage Barista Express Coffee Machine We have very deliberately not even reviewed the other 2 because in our opinion we would not recommend them at all. This is not because they are not good machines – they are.
