Sage Barista Touch, Bean to Cup Machine, Black Truffle

It's amazing. Easy to use (if you read the manual) and really looks the part! All four of us use it. My 10 year old daughter is an expert in making hot chocolate's! We seem to use one setting (now we have got it to perfection). It was a very expensive purchase (we had been thinking about it for a while and we have had a Nespresso machine or two) but this is definitely worth it. Prefer our coffee than going out! Buy it! Its even super easy to clean!

Had the machine a few weeks now and the whole family love it. Brings the 'Costa' experience to home and the machine is designed to be as 'idiot' proof as possible. That said, a bit of trial and error is required to get the grind adjusted and the whole tamping, brewing, and frothing thing takes a few goes to get right. I have a new found respect for professional baristas! This machine is expensive but no regrets on spending the cash so far.

After much research we bought this for my son’s Christmas present. We now make regular trips to his house just to drink his coffee. More than we thought we would pay, but its an investment piece; a strong and good quality product and he loves it.

Overall experience has been okay, produces decent coffees so that’s the main thing. Just requires a bit more maintenance than I expected to keep it up and running. The other issue I find is that the grind size is stepped or too hard to dial in. Jumping around from 10-12 I would rather this was a bit more fine tuned around this point as I find 1 step either way around this stop is either too small or too large. Also a better system would be to give grind size measurements in microns so it means something. Built in scales would mean less coffee waste grinding for a set time. Much better if you just said 18g as target mass. Seems to block easily - had to descale to get flow working again. Unfortunately in the middle of the descale operation I missed the window to activate the second part. There’s no way to resume as it goes off into demo mode. Those are the pain points of this machine. Overall decent machine but couple of areas that could improve the UX.

The product is absolutely amazing! looks very elegant on the counter. Very friendly to use and require minimal effort to pull a great cup of coffee. The only thing I'm struggling with is perfecting the right grind to pull an expresso that ranges between 20-30 seconds. Either I'm pulling over-extracted or under-extracted, I guess I have to play with the grind setting until I get it right. Overall, no matter what drink I make, the coffee tastes delicious, and the latte art is easer to be drawn due to the automated milk frother.

Upgraded from a fully automatic bean to cup machine to this semi auto after my previous machine died. I wanted the little bit more input into the coffee making process without having to go on a barista training course.. it’s takes a bit more effort to get the right setting, but that’s part of the fun. Love the machine, it pulls consistent nice shots of expresso, wish I got it earlier.. it handy that it cleans its self and reminds you of when to replace the filter and do the other cleaning cycles.

Even better when purchased on Prime day, but making great coffee at home is a must. Spend a bit of time to dial in your beans blend and you'll reap the rewards. Best purchase this year for me!! So easy to use, pick your brew, press go. Highly recommended.

I must say I have researched and looked for ages - but this machine exceeds my expectations - beautifully made - it is a fabulous design and easy to use - and works so well ! It clicks into place and is idiot proof ! I fancied myself as a bit of a barista so thought about the dual boiler - but heck why overcomplicate things - The hardest part is not drinking coffee all day !! Highly recommended

I can't stop making coffee since I've received it Amazing, easy, professional and spot on professional product ....

The product broke within 6 months and had to be sent for repair.
