What owners single out
In their words
“I've been making espressos with this machine daily for about 3 weeks now. Here's a list of things I love about it: - ease of use: once you've read the instructions / watched an intro video (or even without having done those things), it's easy to make good coffee. you go rom left to right on the Sage - dose, tamp, pull shot, steam milk.”

“recently purchased the Breville Express Impress, after my higher specs Barista Pro recently died which i had for several yrs and use heavily. This machine, whilst down a notch in the Breville lineup, absolutely stacks up as far as the end result. It doesn’t heat up as quickly as the Pro (which is basically instant) and the steam also takes a bit longer..”
