Sage the Dual Boiler Espresso Machine, Coffee Machine with Milk Frother, BES920UK - Brushed Stainless Steel, Silver

Product Information

Do you think that has an impact of the quality of the espresso produced on this machine by a beginner or a more advanced barista? The Sage the Dual Boiler™ is an advanced espresso machine that gives full control over the coffee making process. Even my wife loves what was originally “if you think I’m ever going to use that then……” And now uses it daily. The 54mm porta-filter with 19-22 grams is the key for full flavour and third wave speciality coffee.

With Flexible Shot Control, you can select between one shot, two shots, or manual control over how much espresso ends up in your cup for the perfect dose every time. Standard bean to cup machines compromise quality for the sake of convenience, which is perfectly fine – for many, it's a compromise worth making. That’s why we created the automatic steam wand for the Dual Boiler, that turns your milk into a silky smooth micro-foam, essential for Latte art.grams dose for full flavour - Achieve a consistent and balanced espresso using the right amount of ground coffee. Thank you so much for such a comprehensive review, it has answered all of my questions and assisted me in making up my mind. As part of my dual boiler series, I have shown which grinders I think work well with the dial boiler, I'd usually think of pairing a machine of this calibre with one of the Eureka Mignon grinders (my favourite is the Specialita) – the Baratza Sette 270 , the Baratza Sette 270Wi, Niche Zero , Eureka Mignon XL, Baratza Forte, Eureka Atom 65 or Atom 70 for example. The first thing to keep in mind is that this is a home barista espresso machine – that is, it's a traditional espresso machine, which will require home barista skills to operate.

Sage (Breville worldwide, they're sold as Sage in the UK as they sold the brand name here in the 80s) really are clever, they don't tend to do things the same as everyone else. Importantly, as we could make the shot of espresso and milk quickly, it meant that our drink was still very hot once we’d finished, which is more than can be said for some machines. The steam wand is on a 360-degree ball joint, so it’s a pleasure to use, and it comes standard with a nicely balanced three-hole steam tip.

I've found you can also back off the brew pressure really quite precisely without any mod, by simply opening the hot water valve very slightly while pulling the shot, and in theory, this does exactly the same, the only negative being that you waste some hot water. Thanks to features like PID temperature control and pre-infusion, the Sage Dual Boiler produces incredible espresso. one of the important things when creating the most perfect shot of coffee is great quality coffee beans.
