Sage coffee machine deals 2024

Sage The Barista Touch Impress

Sage Barista touch impress with olive accreditation badge

Best automated Sage bean-to-cup machine

Star rating: 5/5

Machine type: bean-to-cup

The Barista Touch Impress has an intuitive touchscreen with eight drinks on offer, plus options for further customisation through the steam wand, which can be used manually.

Although we found the set-up for the machine quite lengthy on first use, once we were confident using the machine and had dialled in our coffee beans we found it easy to use. There's built-in assisted tamping which auto-corrects each dose for the next use, meaning that there's fewer errors to make.

Sage The Oracle Touch

Sage the Oracle Touch with badge

Best blow-out Sage coffee machine

Star rating: 5/5

Machine type: bean-to-cup

With an RRP of over £2,000, this is one of the priciest machines in Sage's range, so it's great to find a deal on it. As the name might suggest, the Oracle Touch features a digital touchscreen, as well as elements that make it easier to use – like a water tank that can be filled from the front of the machine.

It offers a good level of automation and we found the auto-dosing and tamping function user-friendly, removing all the guesswork if you're a beginner.

Sage The Barista Express Impress

Sage the Barista Express Impress with badge

Best bean-to-cup for automatic tamping

Star rating: 5/5

Machine type: bean-to-cup

This bean-to-cup coffee machine is more compact than many of Sage's other offerings, with a balance of some automation like the dosing and tamping and some manual features, like for milk frothing.

The interface of dials and buttons contributes to an impressive aesthetic, and once we found the right grind size for our beans from the 25 grind settings, we were impressed by the espresso the machine produced – thick, with a rich aroma.

Sage The Duo Temp Pro

Sage the Duo Temp Pro with olive accreditation badge

Best manual Sage espresso machine

Star rating: 4.5/5

Machine type: espresso

Pared-back and simple, this is a machine for the espresso lover who wants manual elements that won't take over their kitchen. There are just two buttons on the Duo Temp Pro, with a dial to switch between espresso and steam. The onus is on you to dose the coffee, tamp and choose your volume.

After some tinkering to find the optimum grind size we were able to produce an excellent espresso with a well-rounded flavour and silky hazelnut crema.

Sage The Bambino

Sage The Bambino

Best espresso machine for one

Star rating: 4.5/5

Machine type: espresso

This is a pared-back, compact espresso machine that's perfect if you have a small kitchen or are the only one in your household who enjoys coffee. The interface is simple with four buttons for single and double espresso, hot water and steam. On test, we really liked that even though this machine is small, it still includes a steaming wand so you don't have to worry about a separate milk frother, giving a greater versatility of drinks.

Sage The Barista Express

Sage the Barista Express with badge

Best affordable Sage bean-to-cup machine

Star rating: 4.5/5

Machine type: bean-to-cup

Similar to the Barista Express Impress, this machine is broadly manual rather than automatic for the dosing, tamping and milk frothing. This means you need a level of confidence to achieve the perfect coffee and it's a good way to practise your barista skills. It's also on the more affordable end of Sage's bean-to-cup machines, and even more so with a deal attached.

Sage The Barista Touch

Sage the Barista Touch

Best touchscreen Sage bean-to-cup coffee machine

Star rating: 4.5/5

Machine type: bean-to-cup

The Barista Touch has a touchscreen, which makes it easy to select your drink and make the most of automatic and manual functions. The main difference between this machine and the Barista Touch Impress is that this model doesn't have automatic tamping, although there is a dosing funnel, which we found helps reduce messiness when grinding.

In terms of price, this model sits in the middle of Sage's bean-to-cup range, so to see it available for under £1,000 is a rarity.

Sage The Bambino Plus

Sage The Bambino Plus SES500BSS espresso machine

Best compact Sage espresso machine

Star rating: 4.5/5

Machine type: espresso

For this espresso machine, you'll need a separate coffee grinder for your beans. This machine has a compact footprint, but we like that the drip tray is still wide enough to fit a coffee mug and milk jug side by side.

On test, we were impressed by the espresso produced – it had a thick, rich crema and well-balanced flavour. There's also an automatic steam wand, so you can make a wide range of drinks.

Sage The Vertuo Creatista Nespresso

Best Sage coffee machines 2024 UK

Best for Nespresso Vertuo pods

Star rating: 4.5/5

Machine type: pod

The Vertuo Creatista machine, created in collaboration with Nespresso, uses Vertuo pods – offering a wider range of drink sizes than conventional coffee pods. On test, the machine produced a rich, dark espresso with a thick, bubbly crema. The steam wand is automatic and can be programmed for different microfoam textures. We liked that there is a choice of five drink sizes, from a 40ml espresso up to a 535ml carafe, making this fairly versatile for a coffee pod machine.

Sage The Dual Boiler

Sage the Dual Boiler with olive accreditation badge

Best blowout Sage espresso machine

Star rating: 4.5/5

Machine type: espresso

When the Dual Boiler first launched, it was the hero product in Sage's range and still lives up to that title. It's a large and weighty machine, similar in size to some of the priciest bean-to-cup models.

There's no getting around the fact that you need to know what you're doing to get the most out of this machine. All the elements require manual involvement, from dosing and tamping to brewing and milk frothing. After playing around with grind size and extraction time, our final espresso was strong, with a thick crema and pleasant aroma.

Sage The Barista Pro

Sage the Barista Pro

Best mid-range Sage bean-to-cup coffee machine

Star rating: 4/5

Machine type: bean-to-cup

If a bean-to-cup machine is a priority for your kitchen, but you're looking for a lower price point with less automation, the Barista Pro would be a great choice. The integrated grinder has a comprehensive 30 settings and the digital screen clearly displays your chosen grind size. You can choose either to grind by time (the default is 15 seconds) or manually, before using the included tamper and razor. The built-in manual steam wand means a host of drinks options are available, and we found it user-friendly on test.

Sage The Oracle

Sage the Oracle with olive accreditation badge

Best built-in coffee grinder

Star rating: 4/5

Machine type: bean-to-cup

To make the most of this coffee machine, you'll need lots of countertop real estate to play with. The machine weighs nearly 20kg with a large footprint to match, reminding us of a machine you might find in your local coffee shop.

This bean-to-cup machine combines manual and automatic features. It has automatic grinding, dosing and tamping (just pick from an impressive 45 grind settings), but the brewing is manual, with a choice of single espresso, double espresso or long black. You can use the milk steaming wand manually or programme it for your preferred texture.

Does Sage have sales?

The short answer is yes, Sage does have sales throughout the year. We saw the brand halving prices by up to 45% across Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The brand does have a limited number of deals live right now, especially on older models and coffee pod machines, which it makes in conjunction with Nespresso. The only coffee machine we don't expect to see on offer any time soon is the Oracle Jet, as this was only released in October 2024.

Lots of other major retailers that stock Sage also have sales. They may have similar discounts to Sage, but it's worth bearing in mind other perks like free accessories, loyalty schemes, or next-day delivery that might be included.

How we pick Sage coffee machine deals

Our expert reviews team has years of experience working the biggest annual sales events to find the best deals. Throughout the year, we test and review dozens of products across different categories, and look to find deals on appliances we found impressive during testing. We've tested every coffee machine in this list to make sure that we're only bringing you deals on appliances that are worth it.

There are a number of different things we look out for when selecting deals, like how much money the deal is saving and how much this is as a percentage of the original price — the best deals tend to be from 20 per cent off and upwards. With Sage's coffee machines, it's also worth considering the colour or finish that you'd like – as some are more likely to go on sale than others. For example, we see fewer sales on the chrome finish.

How to clean my Sage coffee machine

To achieve great tasting coffee every time, you need to clean your machine regularly. It's also key for improving the longevity of the machine and making it last. Many of Sage's coffee machines with a touchscreen display will tell you when it's time to clean them.

When using the steam wand on your Sage coffee machine, it's a good rule of thumb to wipe the wand with a clean cloth straight after use, and then to turn the wand on while it's directed into the drip tray, which will remove any residue.

Depending on the type of machine you have, it's likely that you'll need some accessories to conduct a full clean. Some machines come with cleaning tools, but they're also available at Sage online.

We've been consistently impressed by the information in Sage's instruction booklets, including everything you need to know about cleaning. Otherwise, Sage has a lots of information and tutorials online.
