Below is a refreshed guide to every Sage machine we currently carry, aligned with how they appear in our Sage Machines collection. You'll find everything you need: what each does well, what trade-offs it carries, and who it's best suited for.

Coffee Machines without Grinders
Sage Dual Boiler
The Sage Dual Boiler is a serious coffee machine. With no automation or touch screens, it’s the barista’s choice.
You’ll be surprised what this kind of machine can do to your coffee making; the dedicated steam boiler delivers micro-foam milk texture of a quality exceeding that of a lot of commercial machines, and the hands on experience means ultimate precision and control.
Manual perfection is what you get with the Sage Dual Boiler. And due to its dual boiler heating system, it’s a bigger machine and requires a separate grinder. If you’re ready to get serious about coffee - this machine is worth its weight in gold.

If ease of use is important to you - once you’ve got everything dialed in to your liking, you’ll be able to make consistent, flavourful, barista quality drinks every time.
For such a small machine, it packs a punch. Just make sure you get a good grinder to go along with it.

Free 3 Month Subscription Voucher & Coffee Beans with Every Sage Machine

We've also started including a FREE 3 month subscription voucher to use in our online store with every Sage machine.

Are Sage Coffee Machines any good?
A brief round-up of why Sage Appliances are so good:
Technology
Sage’s technology makes coffee making easy - or at least easier.
Their range of machines have a unique combination of control and automation, meaning you can get involved as little or as much as you want with the coffee making process.
Plus their technology for steaming and foaming milk is pretty unbeatable.
Cost
Variety in machine types = variety in cost.
Whether you are looking to spend a couple of hundred max, or you’re ready to seriously invest in a great bit of coffee kit - there’s enough variety of Sage machines to suit most budgets.
Quality
These are solidly built, quality coffee machines, meant for years of reliable performance.
You’re going to get what you pay for - the parts are well built and each machine has a 2 Year Repair, Replace or Refund Guarantee (at the sole discretion of Sage Appliances), plus good customer support.
Design
Stylish machines that look the part.
While the individual design of each machine can vary - you can spot a Sage Machine a mile off with a classic brushed steel design.
We like how even the most automatic, digital bean to cup machines look like a sleek, old school coffee maker.
Functionality
This comes back to the design.
A few thoughtful technological touches or design decisions make these machines feel extra special.
