Great machine once ‘dialled in’. It heats up quickly, is easy to use, programmable if you aren’t happy with the factory default settings. The built in conical burr grinder is quick and efficient. The dosing amount and grind size are adjustable depending on the coffee beans used. If I had a criticism it would be the wasted water, after three or four single shot expresso’s I have to empty the drip tray or it overflows. As a single man I only make one coffee at a time so it would have plenty of time to cool down naturally, without wasting so much water, before I draw another expresso shot. I distill all my water before putting it in to my kettle and the coffee machine, rather than using a submerged filter, so it’s a waste of distilled water and electricity used to distill that water. I would have preferred it to purge on start up not after each expresso shot. Read full review

This machine was not as described and did not function correctly, in it over dispensed ground fresh coffee everywhere, at great cost and mess and waste. Also just kept filling up water overflow tray in just making three cups of coffee..... so a total nightmare to be honest

Quality build, great barista BUT I wasted SO much coffee getting the right combination of quantity, pressure and amount but well worth it in the end. Found alternative accessories on eBay at much cheaper prices for filters, descalers and cleaning tablets. No knock box provided (which IS cheaper on Sage website than any eBay seller) and is a definite need if you don't want to trail a sometimes dripping used coffee bean holder across the kitchen to the sink. Also, this model comes with the standard milk jug and not the one with temperature control as supplied with the 875 model. Pleased with my purchase and still learning the ropes after one week. Go for it!

I have bought 3 bean to cup machines to date all of which have ceased to work prematurely. The cost of repair of my latest Jura machine was at least £300 so I decided to look elsewhere. The Sage machine is less complicated than previous machines but no worse for that. The coffee produced is an improvement on other machines but still takes little time to make. To date definitely a good buy.

adjustable settings allow you make small changes to different types of coffee to get the very best from them. I can now replicate my favourite coffee shop taste
