Sage: The Barista Pro Stainless Steel
The Sage Barista Pro, from the coffee experts at Sage, lets you create café-style coffees in the comfort of your own home. Finished in their trademark brushed stainless steel, this feature-packed machine dispenses a range of coffees and offers precise control for a perfect cup every time.
The ThermoJet Heating System takes as little as 3 seconds to be ready for action, and it grinds your coffee beans from scratch each time, so every brew is as fresh as it can be for the optimum flavour and aroma. You only have to decide what size of coffee will suit your mood, and whether you want to add a dose of perfectly frothed hot milk.
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 and dose size 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 up to an optimum temperature in just 3 seconds, and go from Espresso to Steam in just 1 second.
Pressure
Every cup of coffee made by the Barista Pro 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 like to practise latte art in your milky coffees, the Sage Barista Pro 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 mouthfeel. You get to select exactly how thick and creamy your frothy coffee will be for a drink that’s perfectly tailored to your taste.
