SAGE Barista Touch Impress SES881BST4FEU1 espresso maker black stainless steel

The best of SAGE Barista Touch with three innovations to make your daily life easier.

With the The Barista Touch Impress espresso machine, SAGE has kept all the advantages of the famous The Barista Touch model, while adding three major innovations.

Just like its big sister, the Barista Touch Impress features a beautiful stainless steel body. The SES881BST4FEU1 model is in black stainless steel.

The integrated grinder is equipped with quality stainless steel conical burrs, with a 30-setting system to achieve the perfect grind according to the coffee beans selected.

The hopper can hold up to 340 g of coffee beans.

Thanks to its innovative heating system, the ThermoJet, the Sage Barista Touch Impress reaches optimal extraction temperature in just three seconds.

The 2 L water tank offers good autonomy.

The Barista Touch Impress is the first assisted espresso machine from SAGE, with technologies to help you prepare your favorite coffees and milk-based drinks with ease.

The Impress Puck system for perfect tamping.

On the Barista Touch Impress, coffee tamping is done using the lever located on the side of the machine.

The SAGE Barista Touch Impress doesn't just simply tamp the coffee. Indeed, the Impress Puck system reproduces the barista's gesture with a 10 kg pressure and a professional 7° twist on the ground coffee puck.

This straight and uniform tamping guarantees perfect extraction. The tamping lever requires no effort, as the machine does all the work.

The Barista's guide on touchscreen: let the Barista Touch Impress guide you.

Like the Barista Touch, the SAGE Barista Touch Impress espresso machine features a digital touchscreen to select your drink and access numerous settings.

The major innovation is the Barista guide: everything is designed to make your use easier, with explicit instructions in French and pictograms indicating the elements to handle.

- Grind setting assistant: The machine automatically checks if the amount of ground coffee is adequate. If not, the display will prompt you to grind more and tamp again, until you reach the ideal dose.

When you switch to another bean coffee, the Sage Barista Touch Impress also offers you the possibility to recalibrate the grinder in order to adapt it to the new product, letting you be guided by the on-screen indications.

- Extraction assistant: the machine evaluates the flow rate and guides you via the screen if your coffee is overdosed or underdosed. It indicates the procedure to follow to obtain an optimal cup.

- Milk foam assistant: you have the possibility to select the milk temperature as well as the desired foam level for your preparation.

The digital touchscreen also allows you to configure and memorize your recipes, access maintenance functions, view tutorials, all with particularly explicit instructions.

The Auto MilQ function with dedicated settings for plant-based milks.

Sage has also equipped this machine with a fully automatic milk foam system. The included milk pitcher saves you from acquiring additional equipment.

Thanks to the Auto MilQ technology, position your pitcher containing the desired amount of milk, immerse the steam wand andfollow the on-screen instructions to achieve perfect milk foam.

The Auto MilQ allows you to:

- Select the milk temperature with seven levels (from 40° C to 75° C).

- Select the foam texture, with eight levels of micro-foam.

- Adjust the temperature, pressure and steam production duration according to the milk used: cow's milk, almond milk, soy milk or oat milk.

Plant-based milks tend to overheat more compared to cow's milk. This system has been developed to get the best out of your milk, whatever your preference, in order to obtain tasty dairy drinks.
