Sage barista touch impress coffee machine review

Design If you want houseguests to know just how seriously you take your coffee, the Sage barista touch impress will almost certainly do the trick as it sits majestically on your kitchen worktop. We also liked that the portafilter, steam wand, hopper and tamper lever fit seamlessly into the design and don’t distract from its overall sleek appearance, while the water tank – arguably the least aesthetic part of any coffee machine – sits at the back, conveniently hidden from sight. Speaking of accessories, the barista touch impress comes with plenty of add-ons including a stainless steel milk jug, one and two cup single and dual wall filter baskets, a precision trimming tool and even a cleaning tool box that’s tucked behind the drip tray for hidden storage. Designed with new “AutoMilq” technology, you can tell the barista touch impress if you’re using dairy, oat, almond or soy milk, and it will adjust its settings accordingly. One thing worth noting though is that, while the machine includes a few non-coffee drinks like tea, hot chocolate and babyccino’s in its line-up, there’s little technology behind creating them using the machine as they just use the hot water spout or steam wand and not much more.
