Sage SDC450BSS the Precision Brewer Coffee Maker, 1.8L

Product Information

It has multiple fittings for the brew basket so you can use cone filters or detach the inner cone to use flat bottom paper filters or the metal filter basket. Purge the steam wand first and then start steaming the milk in a revolving motion before pouring your best rosetta. Breville products in the UK and Europe are not owned by the Breville group and offer a completely different range of products in the UK and Europe to Breville in other parts of the world. They realise that you may want to just push a button in the morning without the faff, but also recognise that you also may want to tweek and tinker with the grind to make that perfect cup of coffee.

Unfortunately your average home barista doesn’t have that long to wait in the morning so Sage developed a 3 second heat up time to optimum temperature so you can pretty much turn on and go. This is something that you can practice at home too and is essentially what the preprogrammed flush function does. There is a Sage coffee machine for everyone, from espresso to nespresso. All with varying degrees of functionality and control. Sage is the UK and European version of Breville that you will otherwise find around the rest of the world.To texture the milk, set the end temperature on the LCD screen to the desired amount of foam and submerge the steam wand. This is something that is very important in coffee shops as a latte would take almost double the time to make. You are also able to program your own customised coffee into the machine by selecting the size of the espresso (single or double), the heat of the milk and the amount of foam. Dial in your machine as if you were a barista, grind the coffee and adjust the size of the ground easily with the dial on the side of the machine. This guy has been expertly engineered to minimise the time it take for you to make your favourite coffee while at the same time deliver super high quality espresso.

There is also an option to remove the filter attachment completely and place your pour-over brewer over the thermal jug. Commercial coffee machines can cost tens of thousands, they take a skilled barista to operate and take about 20 minutes and at least 3 shots of coffee to fine tune (or dial in). You’re aiming to sit the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the revolving milk, it should make a ripping sound.The Sage Barista Pro for example has flush and descale functions that walks you through the cleaning of the machine by passing water or solution through the inner working of the machine. Most people who have worked in a speciality coffee shop will know that commercial machines take at least 20 minutes to heat up and start operating at a decent level.
