Sage SDC450BSS the Precision Brewer Coffee Maker, 1.8L

Product Information

Steam the milk by filling the jug up to the bottom of the spout and texturing until the milk becomes warm. When you combine the precision of these variables as this filter machine does, it’s hard to even compete with a manual brew method. There is a Sage coffee machine for everyone, from espresso to nespresso. All with varying degrees of functionality and control.

Its slim and compact design have no way compromised the quality of the coffee with the same pressure in the larger machines, the Bambino doesn’t struggle to produce those rich velvety shots of espresso. Some Sage coffee machines do not have a grinder built in like the Bambino Pro, so unless you already have a coffee grinder you will have to use ground coffee. The milk frother does occasionally take a little while to get going, but as soon as the required pressure has built the steam wand enable you to texture the milk like a pro.If you have a bit of extra cash to spend on a coffee machine and you can look past the price point then the Sage Oracle Touch delivers as close as you will get to a barista standard coffee with the least amount of effort. The Sage Barista Pro for example has flush and descale functions that walks you through the cleaning of the machine by passing water or solution through the inner working of the machine. You may already have a drip filter coffee machine in your home or certainly come across them. It brews ground coffee via a shower head that drips through a paper or mesh filter.

This machine allows you to swipe through the LCD menu and select a coffee of your choice (espresso, flat white, latte, cappuccino, americano). This instance also fits folks who like to brew in various methods and therefor need a separate grinder for pour over and espresso. Barista quality performance with an intuitive interface that displays all the information you need to create third wave speciality coffee at home. The integrated grinder delivers the right amount of ground coffee on demand, for rich full flavour. With a ThermoJet heating system, 3 second heat up time and precise espresso extraction, you go from bean to cup faster than ever before.Although it maybe doesn’t have the complete lazy boy coffee making approach like some bean to cup coffee machines the Sage Precision brewer has pretty much everything else. The Bambino machines have a pre-infuse option like the larger Sage espresso machines that you can manually adjust. Although the milk texturing on this machine is automatic, you will still need to tamp your coffee before you make a shot. Here at Batch coffee we pride ourselves on showcasing some the some of the best independent coffee roasters in the UK and their seasonal single origin coffees from around the world in our subscription box.

Sage are masters at customer service and always put their customers first when they have an issue with any of their products. It is quite common for one to drip faster than the other, It doesn’t affect the end shot if you’re pulling a double but if you split the shot then one may be larger than the other and with a different ratio of the coffee extraction. The LCD screen on the Pro Nespresso machine gives you the option to fully customise your milk based espresso drink with adjustable coffee volume, milk temperature and milk texture. The dual boiler enables you to operate the espresso part of the machine and extract your coffee, while at the same time using the other boiler steam milk. You are also able to program your own customised coffee into the machine by selecting the size of the espresso (single or double), the heat of the milk and the amount of foam.The same as the Barista touch is to the Barista Pro this guy offers a few extra points on the spec than the original Oracle. To texture the milk, set the end temperature on the LCD screen to the desired amount of foam and submerge the steam wand. Because the Sage Oracle has a dual boiler you are able to texture your milk at the same time as pulling a shot of espresso. Firstly the bambino plus has an option for you to choose the milk temperature and essentially lets you automatically texture the milk.

You’re aiming to sit the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the revolving milk, it should make a ripping sound.

There is also an option to remove the filter attachment completely and place your pour-over brewer over the thermal jug. Commercial coffee machines can cost tens of thousands, they take a skilled barista to operate and take about 20 minutes and at least 3 shots of coffee to fine tune (or dial in). It is installed with the technology for you to be able to hook up an app operated by BILT to guide you through the process in 3D.
