Thank you Andre for the nice comment :)

3 1/2 years down the line and still perfect at making my coffee. Used to make 3 cups per day, everyday!

Good to hear!

Yes it's certainly not the easiest way to get a great coffee, but turns into more of an art form :-)

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad you like it dude :-) Yeah the double wall basically lives on the machine most of the time as it's much easier for all my family to use. It's much more forgiving if you use different coffee at different strengths. Double wall is the way to go for easy coffee!

@@techable7524 Definitely easier 👍 I know coffee snobs will slate me fur it but I dunt mind.

@@grootjnr coffee snobs gonna hate!

3 1/2 years going strong for me :-)

Thanks, apologies for the no steam wand too :-)

It will be your another hobby also (coffee making).

Glad you asked. I just received my Breville the other day and love it! I found the filters online at Walmart for $12 for a dozen. I found other sites as low as $9. That was a quick check.

moser61 Thanks so much!

And?? Thoughts?

Brilliant!👌🏼 worth the price

@@viktorbarkanyi still going strong?

Hmmmm sounds like a tricky one! First, sorry you're having problems with it. Have you tried all the different heads? I actually use the head that is the easiest to use (think it's the easy large one). Feel free to send me some coffee and I'll try :-) But do try all the different heads. Big learning curve when you get your first machine. My grinder is set to 2 if that's any help! I only buy beans and grind myself. Keeps more flavour! But yes, If they are tooooooo fine then it's going to not allow any water through. Hope this helps!

gordi555 thank you very much for the fast answer. its a big help to know, that nothing is broken on the machine, so i dont have to send back. at the basic machine there is also no manometer (the circle for showing how strong is the pressure) . this is why i was not sure. i also tried all heads, but with only the ultra -fine grind no head can work with it. and when i make the mix or grind and crunch it (this is the main problem to not get the same finish all the time) than the double wall heads work much better. the longer double wall at the best. with the one wall heads, there is not so much cream like in some videos with the machine. i think i have to buy a pro grinder, but for this i have to save some money ;o) i also will send some ultra fine coffee to my friend who have a solis, which is the same kind of the machine. i hope it also not works on it. ok, thank you very much again and have a nice time. greets from a coffee-lover

Works fine both ways for me - maybe it's easier one way because you use it more that way? Thanks for the comment :-)

Thank you Gordi for your answer. True, I onlu use it to steam my milk. But even it's like the turning button is quiet hard, and ask for some strength to turn it.

Yeah no problems at all! I basically do a double espresso shot, add my milk and then topup with hot water either from the machine or the kettle to get it nice and hot. It's like having a much better filter coffee without the wait :-) Or you can just have the espresso.

Yes it's

Not really, the force needed to tamp would lift the machine I'd say. Sometimes, but there is probably just as much faff tax when it comes to bean to cup machine with the waste grinds, waste water etc. If it broke (still going strong) I'd buy it again, if not a better version of it.

I had this issue once, just needed to make sure the drip tray was empty and pushed back correctly each time and the water container at the back was secure. Not had it since.

Sadly not, it's one single cord. Looks like it's directly attached internally.

@@gordi555 thank you :)

Yes gets used 4 times per day - still awesome :-)

How much it cost you ?

Holding up perfectly! Still love it and makes 4+ big cups each day (me and the wife). Needs descaling and flushing now and again if nothing comes out but works perfectly after. I'd say get one!

Thank you for answering - that sounds great, convinced the wife now, so we will be getting one on monday :D

Awesome :-D

*MrGarfi* We're still using ours after nearly 4 years. No problems and never once had to have it serviced. It tells you when it needs cleaning; we descale regularly enough and change the water filter after 12 months. Still makes wonderful coffee - provided you use quality beans.

Yeah, use it 3 times per day :-) love it!

@@gordi555 Great. Thanks for the answer. I am buying one as well then:)

Thanks Monika!

I'd say just for home/office use. I wouldn't consider this for a small coffee shop. I'm sure it could do the job to a certain extent but not my area to recommend it!

Goes to check for you...

You should be fine with about 10cm to spare if using one hand. If you use 2 hands (so lifting from either side) you'll have about 20cm spare. Hope this helps :-)

@@gordi555 Thank you... this is very helpful

@@Hcooper1982 visit done.co.uk and enter 18 in the box for a picture :-)

Yeah still going strong :-)

Thanks Chris, glads it's working much better for you. Quick tip - the dual wall extraction plate (the one you should use for preground coffee) works a treat if you can't get your ground near perfect. I use this all the time!

@@gordi555 cheers fella, funnily enough this is exactly what I did last night and it worked a treat. Woke up this morning hoping I'd have a hassle free, proper coffee and wasn't disappointed. Thanks for your help, I'm glad I found your video.

Got one of them too. Loving it haha

Should be able to handle it just fine! It has a milk throffer which I didn't really cover to do the job. You'd probably need 2 x double shot for the correct amount of coffee. Should handle it quite easily.

Fantastic, thanks for the speedy reply, I am sold on this machine now. All the best :)

You're most welcome! Hope you love it as much as me!

Sainsburys own (the cheap ones) - they actually very good!

Sweat thanks man

I sure do! Love it :-)

Haha, you're awesome! Sadly lockdown has ended the gun show early. Tickets on sale next year. 1001, 1002, deep burn!

The cheapest beans from Asda (UK Store), their own brand. Big bag, green packaging. Freshness is key. Grinding fresh beans and uses them straight away provides the best results.

@@gordi555 I have Lavazza beans but cannot get the pressure up. I am thinking of returning the machine as it is such hard work. Should I get fresh beans and not store bought ones?

@@jessicasierra3846 It's tricky to start with. Try the double wall filter and tamper with a light to medium pressure at the right level. It's MUCH easier for 95% of the results. The double wall filter helps a ton with the pressure. Let me know how your findings using this method :-)

Yeah basically any supermarket, ASDA full beans are pretty great for the price. But really whole beans in general are over 4 times cheaper than Nesspresso capsules. Probably much more than 4 times cheaper.

gordi555 I’m surprised at you saying this as all I’ve heard is use freshly roasted coffee beans for sage barista machines

@@rosemarylincoln2583 well fresh is always best for any coffee beans. Think roasted + 30 days is the best time. You can get very average beans and make them taste fantastic depending on how fresh they are. Nespresso are good tasting but value for money is no where near as good as fresh beans. I can get the same taste for over 5 times cheaper.

Covid-19 has now hidden them :-0

@@gordi555 Oh no! :-D

Yes it takes a while to get it just how you like it, but every machine of a similar spec would require that too I think.

Totally agree!

Because it is. You put beans in one end and coffee in a cup comes out the other end and it does basically everything in between. I think you're missing the definition slightly - it's not advertised as a super-automatic because it isn't one.

Martin Nicholls This is not a bean to cup machine. It's an espresso machine. Just because it has a grinder does not mean it's a bean to cup machine.

Sorry sir/madam - pop over with Jo and I'll make you one :-)

Haha!!! What you doing on my video page??? :-D

gordi555 just got one of the sage coffee machines and was looking at reviews and tips. Saw yours and I was like I'm sure I know him .... then I thought omg it's Gordon! You've not changed! Hope you're well? Not seen you for about 20 years!

In the UK it's a Sage

Thanks Joe!

It's so people find the controls at the bottom of the video, so you can skip or speed up - works really well :-) Thank you for the constructive comment. You make the world a better place. Please look for the positives in things instead of highlighting the negatives to try and get attention.

@@gordi555 now whos but hurt? In the first half of video you said nothing really about the product or how it works, i know you was given free to do a video but come on get to the review already. How many times did i need to hear you say that this isnt the best machine and theres better more expensive ones out there? You just went on and on, i think you love yourself to much with your over use of hand gestures. When shooting a video about a product it should be about the product. Not you and your kitchen, 90% of the screen should be the product. Hows that for consecutive criticisms? Well he's some more stop going on and on about everything but the product. I never watched it all because the video was shit and it mad me fall asleep. The only bit i saw was you saying you take this out, empty the water and was it, no? really? Tell me more. Its clear from the video you have never used it. As the item you was showing had never been used. Next time stick to the product and show live demos, not talk shit for ages.

@@gordi555 apologies because i have taken the time to make videos so i understand its time consuming. You need a touch more structure. Get on with your topic and add your 15 minute intro into the conversation as your getting to the point you advertised your video as. Clearly your an educated person and could excel with some small adjustments to your style. Peace.

Always nice to have a double compliment! :-D

Lol great job man. I pulled the trigger and bought unit today

Sorry, please post your address here and I'll issue you a full refund. Thanks for the amazing constructive comment.

Thank you! It's good to know I excel at something :-)

I don't believe the audio sucks, I had some problems with the audio and tried to rectify it best I could. It still has lots of good info for the future coffee machine purchases.

The audio is fine. I understand everything.

gordi555 Audio is good. Just surges a bit when wearing headphones

Thanks! I think it was the mic position when I turn my head. Learnt from it :)

The audio is fine, but the volume is low, so next time try to normalize the volume. Thanks for the review!
