Sage The Barista Touch Bean to Cup Coffee Machine SES880BSS

Sage have created the Barista Touch Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machine to be a truly intuitive home coffee bar that lets you make and customise café-style coffees in your own home as if you had all the skills and training of a professional barista.

With a fabulously simple swipe and select touchscreen you can choose from espresso, latte, cappuccino, Americano, or flat white and customise them to precisely match your mood. And you can even programme up to 8 personalised coffees to suit everyone in your family, with individual icons to make them easy to locate on screen – stronger or weaker, hotter or cooler, frothier or not, the choices are all at your fingertips, plus the innovative heating system means it’s ready to brew in just 3 seconds.

Simple to Use

Breaking down the essentials of a truly great coffee-shop coffee, Sage’s coffee experts realised it takes four key elements to make a deliciously smooth café-style coffee…

Dose

A precision-weighed batch of your coffee beans is freshly ground by the integrated coffee grinder on demand for every single cup, and measured into a 19-22g dose, just like a trained barista would use – a much larger dose than most home coffee machines – so all you have to do is tamp and trim with Sage’s unique Razor tool and you’re good to go. The burr grinder has adjustable grind size and dose so you can create the perfect coffee for your taste.

Temperature

Precisely controlled, digitally monitored (PID) water temperature minimises fluctuations in temperature that might affect the flavour of your brew, matching the quality of coffee produced by professional machines. The ThermoJet heating system enables this coffee machine to heat to an optimum temperature in just 3 seconds

Pressure

Every cup of coffee made by the Barista Touch starts with a slow, low pressure pre-infusion to maximise flavour extraction, and then builds to 9-bar pressure just like coffee-shop machines to ensure a rich and creamy espresso – it makes delectable black coffee that any pro barista would approve of.

Steam

If you prefer a milky coffee, the Sage Barista Touch steam wand can call on 15-bar pressure to create barista-quality foamed milk to suit your chosen drink, and the super-smooth micro-foam will blend perfectly with the oils in your coffee to create a deliciously silky mouth feel. You get to select exactly how thick and creamy your frothy coffee will be for a drink that’s perfectly tailored to your taste. It even self-cleans so you can enjoy your coffee straight away.

With the smart stainless steel Sage Barista Touch on your kitchen worktop, every coffee you make will be as good, if not better, than the coffees made by your local barista, so café-quality coffee can be at your fingertips every day – in your own home.
