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

Product Information

Barista-quality performance with a new intuitive interface that provides all the information you need to create third-wave specialty coffee at home.

It doesn't have the LCD display that the pro has, so it doesn't have the shot timer, easy access to cleaning cycles, and so on, and you can't change the brew temp. Their machines are high quality, stylish and good enough even for our head roaster and “Steam Wand Steve”, so you should all love them. It’s a big birthday gift from a lovely group of my friends and I can’t wait to make them all fabulous coffee.On the contrary, I also read about some issues with the Barista Pro: (1) boiler temperature is too weak to get the water to ~90 degree and (2) no cup warmer.

As with the Express, the Duo Temp Pro has the original thermojet, so it's slightly slower when it comes to steam ready time and steaming time.A quick note on the grinding range, you'll see some people suggesting that the Barista Pro and the Barista Express don't grind quite fine enough for espresso, particularly with lighter roasted coffee beans. The screen provides you all the precise information you need to make coffee exactly the way you like it, every time.
