Looks good but disappointed
Had the machine about a month and at first I was happy but unfortunately things have changed. I cannot get consistent results. Tried setting my own brew times etc and things got worse. Reset to default & again run times hopeless, coffee either weak & creama poor.Not sure what to do with the machine, very tempted to go back to my old Gaggia classic, simple to use and great coffee.

Great Coffee But Reliability Issues
I’ve been using the Sage Barista Pro for a few months with light daily use (around 2 coffees per day). When it works, it produces very good espresso with consistent temperature and solid steam performance. The heat-up time is quick, and the overall workflow is convenient for home use. However, I’ve experienced two recurring issues: The machine occasionally stops the shot within the first 1–2 seconds after pressing the double shot button. It usually works normally on the next attempt, but the inconsistency is noticeable and has become more frequent over time. The steam control dial becomes stiff after initial use, making it harder to operate smoothly during subsequent use. These issues affect the overall reliability of the machine, which is disappointing given the otherwise strong performance. Overall, it’s capable of great coffee, but consistency and build quality could be improved.

Fantastic coffee! Easy to use
Makes absolutely fantastic coffee. I used to prefer buying coffee from coffee shops to making it at home. Now all I want is my homemade latte.

Great
Very happy with the coffe mashine, easy to use and the coffee beans that I got with the machine is just perfect, strong and delicious flavour the way I like it

Buy it and you wonder how you managed without
Love the machine. Found it easy to use after watching a few YouTube videos. Makes me wonder I went without for so long. It does make you realise that the coffee served in certain shops really isn’t that great. I also had a subscription when buying the machine-yes I wasted a bit when ‘dialling in’ through trial and error, but once you crack it, it’s great. Grind size 15 is a good starting point, although size 13 was ideal for me.

An upgrade, with a few trade-offs
I moved to the Barista Pro™ after many years with the Barista Express™, which I really liked. The Pro heats up much faster and looks more solid and modern, though I personally miss the manual pressure gauge on the Express™. My main issues are practical ones: the multi-hole steam tip seems to block more easily than the single-hole design on the Express™, and the steam capacity feels just about enough for making milk for two drinks, especially from cold milk. Overall, it’s a good machine, but if I were choosing again, I might either stick with the Barista Express™ or consider another model.

Great machine with good functionality
Bought this machine a month ago based on the fact my brother in law has got one and really likes it. Had a Creatista Plus machine before. It's taken a bit of getting used to and trial and error and I now feel like I've got to grips with things and enjoying using the machine. I've still got a lot to learn about the milk side of things but I see this as part of the experience and it doesn't detract from being able to make great tasting coffee.

Does okwhat it's supposed to do
Bought it as it was recommended by a friend woks6 well enough but could do with a decent tamper the one supplied is a bit meh and perhaps a bottomless portafilter rather than the supplied version it comes with.
