What is the difference between Sage Barista Touch and Pro?
The main difference between the sage barista pro and the sage barista touch is automation and control. The barista touch includes a touchscreen display and automatic milk texturing, offering a more hands-free experience. The barista pro lacks a touchscreen and requires manual milk frothing for precise control. Great value for money for anyone who enjoys manual espresso workflow but prefers hands-off milk frothing, the sage barista touch can be the best bang-for-buck machine when it’s on offer, which it regularly is. Because it’s been around for ages, it’s one of the machines you’ll sometimes find mega deals for.
What are the common problems with sage baristas?
A common problem for the Sage Barista Pro is an internal blockage. This means water won’t pass through the group head, the steam wand or the hot water outlet. The machine makes noises as if the water is trying to pass water. Sometimes water will pass for 5 seconds and then stop. A very common issue for the Barista Express is where the water won’t come through the group head (the bit that you connect the porta filter to) when making coffee. Usually the steam-wand and hot water outlet are still working (sometimes they are not working either).
Is it worth buying a Sage coffee machine?
Sage Coffee Machines in my opinion are the best domestic coffee machines around on the whole. I find that Sage have nailed the balance between quality, user-friendliness, value and robustness. Sage machines have the build quality to last for decades, the only reason a machine might only last 5 years for example is if the owner decides that it’s too much of a pain to repair, or if the time and cost of repair just can’t be justified vs the cost of replacing.During the Guarantee period, Sage will repair or replace a defective product at its sole discretion.

Is a Sage barista good for home use?
Quick Takeaways. The Sage Barista Pro delivers café-quality espresso at home. Its ThermoJet heating system ensures a fast 3-second heat-up. The integrated grinder offers 30 settings for precise control. Our favorite espresso machine is the Breville Bambino Plus. It’s easy to use and has excellent temperature consistency (important for pulling top-quality shots). We also highly recommend the Breville Barista Express Impress, which has a built-in grinder and a tamping arm.Yes, La Marzocco machines (and other high-end commercial espresso units) come with a steep price tag. But that cost encompasses unparalleled craftsmanship, durability under relentless use, and the kind of temperature and pressure stability that transforms each shot of espresso into an art form.
