Superb machine that works so well. Makes great expresso and cappuccino though it takes a bit of time to become proficient with the milk frother! Solidly built and supplied with all the accessories needed, I think it represents good value for money.

I've had a De'Longhi espresso machine for a few years and hoped this Sage model would have been an upgrade, especially with the special price offer from John Lewis. The quality on un-boxing is good and the specifications provided for everything I had...

If you are reading this review after you have brought your machine, perhaps like me you will be thinking I should have read those poor reviews, and believed them. The water for the coffee really does dribble through it at 72°, when you measure it...

I wanted to be free from pods and make a coffee like I buy in Nero. I watched a video on YouTube of a guy making a great looking Cappuccio and was convinced I needed this. Let's just say the guy on YouTube made it look easier than I found it. The...

Our local Gaggia service centre made such a mess of our old Classic that we had to write it off. Online evaluations of the new model of the Classic were mediocre, and so we started to look around and felt that the Sage (US, Breville) was the most...
