Barista Pro™ SES878BTR4GEU1

No matter the machine, you will not get good coffee. This fact is inherent to capsules.  If you don’t care, don’t waste your money. If you care a little, get a decent automatic coffee machine (will be more than 700).  If you care a lot, put in the effort and get a portafilter machine and grinder (even beginner level like sage barista pro will get you better results than any automatic machine) 

I wouldn’t get this machine or breville/sage machines. I had sage barista pro and it’s group head leaked water, apparently its screws lose and I opened it up put some lock tide, it worked for a while but it did it again, I sold it for a very low price just to get rid of it. It is an appliance not a machine, it will break eventually. I got a Profitec Jump amd Eureka perfetto grinder, it was sold as a pair with discount. I realized the how high quality can a machine could be. For a lower price, I would get Profited Go and a eureka grinder (or other decent grinder) usually it is sold as paired with a nice discount. You would thank me later.

Get a Siebträger. But even better, don’t get one. Because you will never like and drink other coffee anymore after you got one 😄 Seriously, look at the Sage Barista Pro, really good bang for the buck and a perfect beginner machine

if you don't mind buying used, you can find the barista pro/express for <400€ on ebay. Search for servicecenter Windhorn, they are certified refurbisher of Sage.

Do you want a new hobby or just better tasting coffee than instant coffee? Espresso machines can be a pain at times, initially setting up, dialling in etc. If you have the time and patience, get a manual espresso machine. If you are busy person, get something more automatic, less faffing about in the morning! I have upgraded from a sage barista pro to the sage oracle jet. It’s excellent! I got 200 euro off it during Black Friday. I presume it’s the same deal on the UK site. I

I am not a coffee connoisseur by any stretch, I have a Sage Barista Pro. It's a nice and tidy machine once you get the hang of it and keep it clean/descaled etc. There's a bit of trial/error with grind size, extraction time etc There's a new model now with a screen that guides you through the process, so it's less hands on

What drinks do you like? How many do you make a day? I ended up considering everything and I bought a really good VA mythos one grinder and then I’m about to purchase a manual level espresso machine called the Cafelat robot. It suits my needs as I only drink black. I have a sage barista pro and will keep this maybe to use if guests come. All comes down to individual needs really

Hi all, After two years with the Sage Barista Pro (which broke just within warranty and we got a refund), we’re looking to upgrade. We really enjoyed getting into espresso and are ready for something more serious. What we’re looking for: - Ease of use & good durability - PID - Pre-infusion - Stainless steel look - Quick to heat up - E61 - No integrated grinder - My girlfriend wants a dual boiler (she drinks milk drinks), I don’t. Any advice? Our budget is max €2000. We’re currently considering the Expobar Brewtus, Crem One 2B or 3, or anything else you guys would recommend. We’ve considered the Lelit Bianca but don’t like the wooden parts in the design. Would love your suggestions. Thanks!
