Btw, according to sage user manual, the dial on the filter is a reminder for filter replacement. the "IN" is for the the month that you installed it for the first time, and the "OUT" is 3 months later (sage recommends replacing it every 3 months).

Thank you so much for your review! I’ve been eying for this machine the last three years but it had not been on sale except one time. I thought about whether if it was worth it paying 800 bucks for, the deal was gone! However, it’s currently on sale in the US for 800 again and I was looking for reviews online and came across your vid. And I’m sold! I also love the Nespresso virtuo plus machine with a milk frother. Hands down the best single serve machine and the quality is really great!

Nespresso just whirs up a fake crema. Ours is out the door after buying this. This is espresso. You’re right about how it is some work, but it is worth it. You can’t expect to get great coffee by simply pressing a button. As for cost, if this replaces your trips to a coffee chain, it pays for itself within the year and the coffee is so much better if you buy specialty coffee. And there is so much wonderful flavor to choose from!

I bought the Impress version, which does even more of the work for you and yeah, my results are at least as good as anything a barista has ever handed me. I live next to a roastery, so I begin with really good, freshly-roasted beans, which might be the biggest factor. Great machine! I still use pour-over as my preferred method of extraction, but this gadget is a lot of fun to play with, and the occasional frothy coffee is nice. Thanks for the video.

Great, honest review. Just bought this machine myself to also replace a Nespresso. Everything said is true. The effort is less and you can obviously change the coffee flavour every time. But the coffee is far superior and whilst the machine is hugely more expensive longer term it does even out as the Nespresso pods are a lot more expensive per cup. It's not £1k at present

Youve probably fixed this by now but your grind is too fine for the beans you are using. Your extraction should come out looking like a mouse tail and not in drips like yours was, also the puck being super mushy was another classic sign that your grind was too fine and the water was pooling up top. The puck should be hard and semi-dry when you are done. Just wanted to give you a quick tip, great video, just got this machine coming from a Nespresso Creatista and a cheap Casabrews espresso maker. It is AMAZING.

Hi there. Firstly thank you for watching. The Regent and Negresco blend they do is amazing they describe it as “Negresco beans alone are a dark roast, producing a strong and slightly bitter taste on the palate. However once mixed with the medium roast Regent blend,the final taste is often described as the perfect 'Strong, but not bitter' cup of coffee for any time of the day.” So it’s strong but not bitter. The espresso blend they do is amazing too. If you’re local pop down there or give them a call. Their staff are great. They are on +44 20 7723 4020.

Question regarding the filter in the water tank - I have a Brita water filter jug because the tap water is quite hard in my area, which i use for drinking and appliances. Do I still need to set (and more importantly replace) the filter in the tank anyway? Or is it irrelevant with a separate filter jug?
@TruthReviews14 күн бұрын
You can run your water through your own filter, then use the strip that comes in the box to see what the hardness comes up as once it has gone through your own filter. Keep in mind what the manual says "DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralized or distilled water in this machine. This may affect the taste of the coffee. Page 12." You can also use third party filters on this machine that are cheaper. If you filter the water twice effectively, then it will have an impact on the taste. I would use one or the other. You get a filter in the box, why not try both methods and see which you prefer and also compare the hardness using the strip after it has ran through each filter to see which one works best.

Yes that pressure is PUMP pressure. At the head where the pressure really matters, the Delonghi and Breville are about the same...I think it's right at 9 bars which is optimal. Pump pressure is advertised because normal consumers think higher is better so vendors advertise that number instead of head pressure. All marketing crap.
