the Barista Express

This is a great coffee machine if you want cafe-style drinks at home. It is not a press one button and done machine, so you need to learn a bit, but it is worth it. The built-in grinder works well and the coffee tastes much fresher compared to using pre-ground beans. I noticed a big difference right away. The steam wand is strong and makes nice foam for lattes and cappuccinos. After a few tries, I could make pretty good milk drinks. There is a small learning curve. You need to adjust the grind size and amount, and it helps a lot to use good fresh beans. Once you find the right settings, the coffee turns out very good and consistent. The machine looks great on the counter, especially in the Black Truffle color. It feels solid and well made. Cleaning takes a bit of time because the drip tray fills up fast and the parts need regular wiping, but that seems normal for this type of machine. Overall, I am very happy with it. If you want real espresso at home and do not mind learning a little at the start, this is a very good choice.

Excellent value for money (when on offer) makes good standard, fresh tasting coffee when combined with the correct bean. It is easy to take apart and clean as well as descale. Coffee is always hot and quick to brew. Can be a bit noisy when steaming or grinding but other machines are the same.

Just what I needed! Looks good and makes delicious coffee.

This isn't a one push button instant coffee machine. If that's what you're looking for, click away now. This coffee machine does most of the hard work for you. It will allow you to pour a bag of freshly roasted beans into the grinder and have it dispensed into a cup within a few minutes. There is some manual attention to detail required for best results. This can make awful coffee. This can also make some fabulous coffee. I'm not here to tell you the exact answer, because it's something you will learn through using it. I'm here to tell you that it's entirely possible to learn how to make great coffee within just a few weeks of using it and what I personally discovered. So, what did I learn? 1. Buy fresh beans - no supermarket shelf stuff, not even M&S. It isn't fresh enough and your coffee will taste flat. Waitrose do a few types that have the roast date printed on the bag, if it's within a month, that'll do. 2. The included levelling tool isn't all that precise - I always find that slightly above that mark is actually better 3. The amount of pressure you tamp with has a huge impact on the pressure dial - you have to press quite hard, and ensure the level of coffee still sits high enough, yes you can add more and re-tamp. 4. The best shot comes from the double filter with single skin - the biggest one with the most holes. Learn on this one as the single skin ones cheat a bit. They have a single hole which artificially maintains a set pressure so you can't really mess up. The trick is to learn from the start. The single one is very fiddly and easy to get wrong. 5. Milk frothing is still quite hard for me, I think the best thing to do is get the wand deep in the milk to start with, then froth it when it's hot. Latte art is not as easy as the spotty weekend barista makes it look. Since using this, I don't buy coffee from shops anymore. I prefer my own. You can make whatever drink you want from it, single or double shot cappuccino, latte, frapawhatever. Be as pretentious as you want in the comfort of your own home. It also has a hot water dispenser for the green tea drinkers. Cleaning is a bit of a faff. Tray comes out in three pieces laced with coffee dust and water, but that's the price of fine art I guess. Keep it clean and it will keep making nice drinks. Also run the group head with nothing in it from time to time to clear it out. Changing the filter is absolutely vital if you live in a hard water area. Put it in your phone calendar or something. It's a nice product to have, changing beans keeps things fresh for me. I recommend an online subscription of some sort. I look forward to seeing your results on Instagram.

I worked as a barista in another life, I love coffee and this machine is excellent. The grind size can take a little time to dial in at first, but once you’ve found the right setting for your favorite beans it becomes very easy to use and is very reliable. The espresso quality is fantastic, it is rich, balanced, and far better than what most home machines can produce. There’s a reason this model is so popular. The milk frother is also surprisingly good. You don’t need to angle the jug to get decent foam; it will work even if you just leave it in place. Tilting the jug does help you get a more refined texture, but the fact that it performs well with minimal technique makes it great for beginners and still satisfying for someone with barista experience. The machine isn't the cheapest, but having barista style coffee at home has cut down on my coffee orders and has paid for itself by now.

With my previous cheapo espresso machine finally giving up developing any pressure at all after nearly 3 years of intense use, and after trying everything to fix it, including changing the pump, i decided to finally trade up to a Sage Barista Express.... a machine i had been eyeing even when i bought the previous machine. However, I was astounded by the price. I remember only a few months ago this was on sale for around £400 - £420, however recent events have causes nearly ALL coffee machiens to shoot up in price, and I had to pay significantly more! Nevertheless, price aside, it is a very good device that probably suits most kitchens, and fits well on a worktop under most kitchen wall cupboards. Note this is not a fully automated Bean to cup machine, where you just select a drink and press a button, despite some third party sellers labelling it as such. It does require involvement, and experimentation to get right. If you are not willign to learn some of the intrecacies of creating an espresso or other coffee drinks, but enjoy consuming them, then i reccomend you get a casule, or a fully automated bean to cup machine. However, if you are willing to learn this can potentially create far better and more satisying coffee drinks. PROS: - I like the fact it is easy to clean, and maintain. My old machine and grinder did leave a lot of mess, this is more contained. - Its thermocoil is relatively more efficient in electricity than a more "professional" boiler/dual boiler type, as it does not need to heat much more more water than whats being used, and its ready to start within about 30 seconds from cold. its perfect for where there is one or two people living in a household, who drinks coffee 2 or 3 times a day. It has a nice storage area for the spare baskets/cleaing tools. - It also comes with both pressurised and unpressurised baskets on both sizes (4 total) which is very handy. Many machines only include either pressurised, or unpressurised, and whilst some home "baristas" dismiss the pressurised ones, they do have a use in certain situations (preground or old or dry beans), and also helps beginners to get a decent enough shot at first, before learning all the intricacies of an expresso machine to be able to successfully use the non pressurised baskets. - It has a proper 3 way solenoid valve to release pressure. - You can manually chose the dosage aount as well as automatic (some machines only give either manual or automatic, not both) - likewise you can also manually do the preinfuse, and extract, or simply set up for 1 or 2 shot to let the machine automatically stop when a certain amount of water as flowed through. You can also problemthe automatic amounts. - It has a hot water dispenser for americans and other long coffees. - It has a professional steam wand (not a panarello one) which gives you more control over the steam creating process, however, does require some skill, as opposed to the panarello types, usually found on cheaper machines. - There is enough clearance to fit a mug underneeth the spout. - water temp seems very consistant (though see con below) - pressure guage! the more expensive versions of the barista range (professional and touch) do not include this very usefull tool. CONS: - When you switch on from cold, you do need to run at least one or two shots through the machine with the portafilter empty to heat up the pipes and portafilter to a satisfatory. Whilst you may see some on people suggesting that you leave it on for 10 minuites before pullign the first shot, in my experiementation I have done, I find running one or two shots is better at stabilising the temp from the inital cold start, as well as heating the portafilter better, as well as heating the cup/mug. - the baskets do fit quite snugly into the portafilter, and need a bit of work to take out. I carefully use a teaspoon to lever it out. - Although more than capable of creating good steamed milk with great microfoam, the steam power is a bit low on this machine (similar to other thermocoil machines) and does take a while to build up. This does mean it takes a bit longer to steam/froth milk compared to more powerfull machines, however, it is also an advantage for newbies, as the slower steaming gives you time to adjust the wand accordingly during steaming, rather than messing up the milk because you were not able to react quick enough,, important considering it is a professional wand, as opposed to a panarello one , which does require a bit of technique. If you need more powerfull steam, look at the Sage Barista Professional. - Being a single boiler, You cannot steam milk and brew coffee at the same time, as the boiler needs to adjust to the different tasks, which can take a few seconds. Not a big issue for a household makign coupel of drinks at a time, but probably more annoying when making many more, espeically waiting for the temp to change. - like ANY proper espresso machines it does take time to master!

An incredible coffee machine, I've tried quite a few but I think this is the one that beats them all. The grinder is a massive bonus meaning freshly grounded coffee beans for every cup. The steaming is quite fast and espresso shot is decently timed too. Good extraction of coffee and easy to clean. It fits nicely on my kitchen counter tops and looks really lovely. Great tasting coffee and can create good latte arts too.

If you're serious about coffee, the Barista Express Impress is an incredible choice. This machine does take up a bit of space and comes with a higher price tag, but it absolutely delivers café-quality drinks right at home. Pros: + The design is stunning and feels very premium. + Built-in grinder, intelligent dosing system, and assisted tamping make the process smooth and consistent. + Tons of customisation options — you can adjust grind size, dose, and extraction with ease. + The drinks it makes (including hot chocolate!) are fantastic. Easily rivals your local coffee shop. + The intelligent dose system even remembers your settings, saving time on future uses. + It’s fun to use and a real conversation starter when guests are around. Cons: - It’s large — make sure you have enough counter space, especially for using the steam wand. - There’s a learning curve, but with some trial and error, you'll get amazing results. - It can be noisy, and the portafilter basket can be tricky to remove. - The steam wand gets very hot so keep it out of reach of children! - It's not cheap but the build quality and results almost justify the price in my opinion. Tip: If you’re new to this, start with grind size 16 and use freshly roasted beans. I’ve linked the ones I use, and they make a big difference. In Summary: The Barista Express Impress is a high quality, stylish coffee machine that delivers excellent, café style drinks at home. It maybe large and noisy but it's results make it a worthwhile investment for serious coffee lovers.
