The Sage Barista Express offers the all-in-one integrated coffee machine, featuring a grinder which allows you to go from bean to espresso in under a minute.
With a choice of either Black Sesame or Brushed Stainless Steel, this coffee machine is a really great style for your kitchen.
Delivering a third wave speciality coffee at home experience from its 4 keys formula:
- Rich, full flavour
- Perfectly balanced taste
- Irresistible body
- Silky, velvety mouthfeel
The Barista express features Dose-Control Grinding. The integrated grinder grinds when needed and delivers the perfect amount of freshly ground coffee for your desired amount for a perfect tasting coffee.
The precise extraction of the espresso via a digital temperature control delivers water at the exact temperature for creating the best tasting cup of coffee, whilst also ensuring the optimal level of espresso extraction.
The unique grinding cradle means that home baristas can grind the coffee straight into the espresso portafilter without the mess of any coffee granules getting everywhere.
Rich, full flavour
With the fully integrated system, you can guarantee the perfect blend of flavours every time. This dose allows the coffee to fully produce the amazing aromas with intense flavours and bring out the true, rich flavours of the type of coffee used.
Irresistible body
Espresso is all about creating creamy, caramel flavours and is created perfectly with the low pressure pre-infusion that soaks the grinds and allows the water to pass through evenly, resulting in the rich and sweet espresso which we love to enjoy.
Pros
- Barista level Espresso coffee from home
- Perfectly balanced taste every time
- Cafe quality microfoam
- Built in coffee bean grinder
Cons
- No precise milk temperature setting
- Slower heat up

Similar to the previous Sage Barista Express coffee machine, the Sage Barista Touch features a handy touch screen display to assist in making your coffee with ease.
Featuring all the same world class features, it comes in a choice of Black Truffle or Stainless Steel.
However unlike the previous model, this Sage coffee machine includes an automatic, precise milk temperature frother. The auto steam wand allows you to get an exact milk temperature which you desire and a texture which suits your taste – crafting that latté art has never been so simple.
Again a hands free operation is on show, with the innovative cradle perfect for distributing coffee grind straight into the portafilter without any mess.
But what sets this Sage coffee machine apart from the others is the automated and customisable touch screen integrated into the face of the machine.
The intuitive touch screen display transforms how you make your favourite café coffee. With just 3 easy steps – Grind, Brew and Milk.
Easily adjust the coffee strength, milk texture and temperature to fit what you desire and then save it with a name you wish.
It doesn’t get easier than this for producing your favourite coffees with ease, and with up to 6 saved coffees at a time, you have plenty of choice when you want to mix it up.

Like all in the Barista Espresso range from sage, dose control grinding, optimal water pressure, precise espresso extraction and automatic microfoam milk texturing is what you can expect from the Sage Oracle Semi-Automatic coffee machine.
But unlike others, this Sage coffee machine features a shot control and LCD display to help control and choose between varying shot amounts.
One shot, two shot or manual amount is whats on offer here which will allow you to control just how strong you’d like your espresso to be with ease.
The innovative One Touch Americano feature produces a double espresso, then fills the cup with hot water separately through a dedicated spout just like you would experience in a coffee shop.
Enjoy the silky taste and velvety mouthfeel of proper microfoam milk. The milk is steamed with pressure that produces thousands of very small bubbles, enriching flavour and how it feels in your mouth, while the temperature brings out the milk’s sweetness.
On the higher end of price in the Sage coffee machine collection, the Sage Oracle Semi-Automatic coffee machine is totally worth the extra cost as it completely simplifies the process of making the perfect blend.

- Cafe quality microfoam, with a precise milk temperature frother
