Product Information

Purge the steam wand first and then start steaming the milk in a revolving motion before pouring your best rosetta.

Set your grind and dose like other LCD screen Sage machines by adjusting the dials on the side and front respectively. 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. Like professional machines, the Bambino Plus can deliver third wave speciality coffee. This is made possible by the 4 keys formula. Delivering barista quality performance using a 54mm stainless steel portafilter with 18 grams of coffee for full flavour and a powerful hands-free automatic steam wand that makes microfoam milk for you ready for latte art. With a proprietary ThermoJet heating system the machine is ready to start in 3 seconds. It’s compact and looks good, and sounds a little beep when it finishes so you know your coffee’s ready. There’s a keep warm plate and an eco function that means it switches off automatically after brewing is finished.

Develop your barista skills with this hands-on espresso coffee maker

Rest the portafilter on the group head and activate the grind by pushing the button behind the rest. If you value a delicious cup of coffee and see it as something to savour and enjoy every day rather than just a drink you guzzle down to get a daily caffeine fix then using a machine like this will make a massive difference to your overall coffee drinking experience. 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.

This is a really tasteful and elegant coffee machine. A lot of thought has gone into making this look as good as the coffee it produces. 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. 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.It’s so good that established coffee aficionado and World Barista champion James Hoffman uses this very coffee machine in his own home as his choice of coffee machine on a daily basis. We spoke to Luke Powell, Manager - Speciality Coffee EMEA at Sage Appliances, to find out more about the difference between filter coffee and other types of coffee that you might get from one of the best pod coffee machines, or an espresso machine."Espresso is any coffee brewed at pressure, often nine bars but pretty much anything above two bars can be termed espresso. Filter coffee is anything below involving a filter, so at regular atmospheric pressure."
