Sage Excellence
Best coffee machine I’ve ever bought.

Best coffee I've ever tasted within the first week
I love it, it is ready to go almost instantly when you switch it on (other machines can take 10-20 mins to heat up) and I've made the best coffee I've ever tasted within the first week. Only downside is the drip tray could be bigger!!
Andy
Perfect
Perfect just what we were after. Perfect size for a small kitchen but also an excellent coffee machine.

Overrated
Got this not long ago, near impossible to dial it in for a perfect shot. I’m a coffee enthusiast and generally know how to make a good espresso but this machie makes it really hard. Cant even get close to my old trusted Gaggia Classic

Great coffee
Great little machine once you get the hang of how much coffee, how far to twist the portafilter, how much milk, where to put the milk jug, what settings for the milk you use etc. Lovely coffee with oat milk though

Honest review of a beginner espresso maker.
As my first “proper” espresso machine I chose the B+ for its user friendliness. The fast heat up time, the auto steaming, it’s in built PID etc. Overall I am happy with the machine. There are some quirks and small things I was expecting to be slightly better I.e. the drip tray is tiny and also quite lose, makes a mess when trying take it out and generally isn’t well made. The light weight is such that the machine moves when trying to attach the portafikter. Maybe more rubberised feet would be useful. My pucks also come out very wet every time, which may be something I’m doing wrong whilst pulling a shot? Overall it’s a great little machine, once you figure out its quirks and once you’ve nailed a workflow that suits you.

The Bambino Plus - Great Little Machine
I’ve had the Sage Bambino Plus for just over a month now and it was a replacement for my Duo Temp whose front panel buttons decided to give up. This is a marked improvement on the Duo Temp in terms of coffee quality. It’s very easy to use albeit quite a light machine so a certain amount of downwards pressure is required when inserting or removing the portafilter. I haven’t had to play around too much with water dosage as it worked straight off to my desired taste. However as some point or other I must have pressed some or of buttons for too long as the milk froth overflowed and overheated the milk. A factory reset soon resolved that though. The automatic milk frother is great too. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

Get one, it’s great 👍
After years of using a pod machine and getting to a stage where it was costing a fortune for capsules, I decided it was time to move up a stage and making coffee from scratch. I had limited “real estate” - just where I’d had my old *espresso machine, pod holder and frother- so I couldn’t really consider anything too big, especially as I needed to accommodate a decent grinder, so the decision was really Bambino or Bambino Plus. Checking reviews and speaking with a pal who’d bought one a couple of years ago, I decided that a Plus was worth the additional cash and that’s where I ended up. It’s a really good little machine out of the box and with a couple of important additions it’s a great one. You’ll read a lot about the portafilter and its plastic insert and the tamper, which is “ok”, but once you replace these, you have a really great machine that produces coffee that’s way better than you’ll get at your local, high street shop. Learning to dial in your brew is something you’ll need to do come what may but as for the rest of it, it’s really straightforward to use.
