Sage the Barista Express Espresso Machine, Bean to Cup Coffee Machine with Milk Frother, BES875BSS - Brushed Stainless Steel

Product Information

Once we’d made those first eight cups and perfected the settings, it was easy to produce consistently great espresso every time. The machine takes around 40 seconds to warm up when first switched on, then for us it took 17 seconds to grind and dispense the coffee, but this’ll vary depending on your settings. As you’d expect, grinding is the loudest part of the process and hit 80dB on our noise meter. To resolve the issue of the CLEAN ME button flashing on the coffee machine Sage the Barista Express BES875, you need to perform the following steps: I thought the double wall was for free ground beans? Is that the basket you are meaning?' - Double wall is pressurised, I think that means it's takes the 'skill' and guess work out of your method. Non-pressurised will eventually give a better shot but you need to know what you are doing more I think. At least that's how I understand it. Look on the underside of the baskets to make sure you are using the right basket. It says 'double wall' on it. Get a good tamper, the one that comes with it is too light. I recommend the 53 mm Motta tamper. This changed the game for me with consistent pressure, extraction and shots. Forget the Razor tool maybe. I don't use that atm, I find 18g fluffy ground beans needs a gentle pat down to distribute, then a nice tamp. Learn what pressure to tamp at. I am looking at a distribution tool too, either the Motta one or the Crema one. This will help extract evenly, avoid 'channelling' and get proper pressure I think.

The powerful 15 bar pressure system builds gradually to provide even extraction of coffee, giving you a rich, flavoursome drink. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to complete the descaling process and empty the descaling solution from the tank. To descale the steam and hot water components, turn the STEAM/HOT WATER selector to the left for steam, or to the right for hot water. Descaling the steam takes about 13 seconds, while descaling the hot water takes about 8 seconds. The machine has a cup reservoir for holding the brewed coffee, accommodating up to 2 cups at a time. Additionally, it has a 2-liter jug capacity, providing sufficient space for brewing larger quantities of coffee. The built-in grinder allows users to grind their coffee beans on demand, ensuring maximum freshness.

Develop your barista skills with this hands-on espresso coffee maker

This coffee maker has a built-in grinder with a coffee beans capacity of 450 grams. It has two spouts and a hot water system. The temperature is adjustable, and it has a steam pipe. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to complete the descaling process and empty the descaling solution from the reservoir. To resolve the issue of the blinking CLEAN ME button on the Sage the Barista Express BES875 coffee machine, you must follow the steps below:

Use either beans or pre-ground beans, with the conical burr grinder allowing for efficient grinding at high speeds. 15 grind settings mean you can have your beans as coarse or fine as you want them. Remove the water tank after descaling and rinse it thoroughly. Fill the tank with cold water up to the MAX mark (2 liters) and repeat steps 1 and 2 to rinse any traces of descaling solution from the machine.

Grind dose and extract all in one.

Use the pressurized, double wall basket. Really helps pressure and consistency. This is the first port of call for a newbie. The bean hopper will hold 250 grams, enough for 25 shots of espresso, while the water tank can carry 2 litres, with integrated water filtration. The Sage the Barista Express BES875 is a countertop espresso machine, specifically designed to brew coffee with coffee beans. The machine has a water tank capacity of 2 liters and the capacity to make 2 cups per brew. It also has a reservoir for brewed coffee that takes up to a cup, and a jug capacity of 2 liters.

Do you manage to get the grinder to put just the right amount in with the auto grind or do you do manual?' - Atm I haven't programmed it, I just put 18g beans in the grinder and let it grind however long it's factory set to. This does give a big mountain of ground coffee which I just tamp down. You want 25-30 seconds extraction time (water going through coffee) so start timing this to see how long you're getting (tamp and grind effect this). The Thermacoil heating system includes an adjustable temperature control, so you can keep the temperature in line with the coffee you want and prevent loss of flavour from overheating. We liked having the pressure gauge during the initial setup process, the correct pressure range is very clearly marked and it’s a helpful indicator that you can watch as your espresso pours, to see whether it’s being extracted at the correct pressure. The manual then advises what adjustments you’ll need to make to correct an under or over extracted espresso, which is usually either the grind size or the amount of pressure you use when tamping.Use filter water I was told. Nothing to do with pressure, that's just a good tip for avoiding scaling up the machine as much. Featuring 2 spouts, the Sage Barista Express BES875 enables the simultaneous brewing of coffee for two cups. The machine also includes a hot water system, allowing users to prepare other hot beverages or fill a cup of hot water for other purposes.
