Thank you so much for such a comprehensive review, it has answered all of my questions and assisted me in making up my mind.The first thing to keep in mind is that this is a home barista espresso machine – that is, it's a traditional espresso machine, which will require home barista skills to operate. Even so, it was still better than the coffee bags and instant that I have been drinking since it stopped working and I really miss having an espresso machine. With the White Glove Service, Sage will send one of their coffee experts to your home and set you on the path to extraordinary coffee.

While it did get on my nerves, to begin with, this isn't the fault of Sage, and as I mentioned earlier, although it's an annoyance it's probably a good thing. To someone who hasn't caught the home barista bug, or to someone who doesn't even drink coffee, spending hundreds or even thousands on a coffee machine must seem very odd, I get that. I saw that you recommend filtering water or using bottled water so that you don’t need to go through the descaling process. Any espresso machine can develop bigger issues requiring major repair jobs, but from looking through the huge thread on the Home Barista forums and from speaking to engineers, I don't believe you're any more likely to encounter such an issue with a Sage Dual Boiler than any other dual boiler espresso machine.The official repair firm in the UK for Sage are Coffee Classics, these guys are who Sage will refer you to, but being a bigger firm their minimum cost will probably be a bit over the top for standard stuff like swapping out o-rings. It actually looks fairly straight-forward, I'm sure I could do it – and that's saying something – but it doesn't look like a five-minute job. The dual boiler coffee maker by Sage is packed full of special features and functions, designed to brew the perfect cup of coffee at home. Simply choose the temperature and how much foam you would like to accompany your own version of a classic coffee style, you can also try your hand at a bit of latte art.
