    Hi, Need some advice on grinder choice. I have three options at hand. 1. Sage Smart Grinder (not the Pro version) - from a forum member with very little use 2. Iberital MC 2 - about a year old from a Gumtree seller. Claims one double shot on weekdays, looks clean in photos 3. Graef CM800 -...

    I got a Sage Dual Boiler and the descaling warning has come up. Does it come with descaling stuff or do I need to buy it? Never descaled it yet! Thanks, Jon

    The last couple of days, whilst admiring an unusually rare perfect pour, my Sage bottomless keeps blowing off when under pressure. Nothing has changed in what I do or use. It just unwinds itself and pops off, haven't lost a cup yet thankfully! Is there a known cause of this? I might try a...

    Hi, I'm new here. I've been reading up quite a lot on these forums and have noticed that the Duo Temp has been compared to the Classic, but there doesn't seem to be any solid reviews? Does anyone have one? I was looking into the Barista Express, but the mixed reviews have put me off the trail...

    Hi, I have several options to buy an entry level grinder to accompany my Gaggia Baby and Aeropress in my mornings. I have seen two new grinders, Baratza Virtuoso and Sage Smart Grinder for about 150. Also, someone on the forum advertised a Brasilia RR45 for 120+delivery and SanRemo SR80 for...

    Hi, A friend of mine is willing to sell his Sage Smart Grinder (BCG800UK) for around 85 pounds. Do you think it is a good deal for a entry-level espresso user?

    The portafilter on this machine is 54mm the supplied tamper kinda sucks, so i just purchased a 54mm tamper but its slightly too big? looks like i need a 53mm, can anyone recommend a good replacement 53mm tamper or one that fits? Regards...

    After much deliberation and reading (and re-reading) sooooo many reviews, I decided that I would go and have a look at the Sage Dual Boiler this morning. It may not be a beautiful piece of Italian art, but it seems to tick all the boxes that I have, not least the fact that it fits on the work...

    I've seen a few threads on the Smart Grinder which sounds like it had its problems (burrs need shimming and so on) but very little on the newer version. My wife bought me one for Christmas and it'd be interesting to see the experience of other owners. It's probably a bit low-userbase for mods...

    As you may have noticed from other posts of mine on here, I've recently acquired a Gaggia Classic and have been looking for a suitable grinder to pair with it. I'd narrowed it down to two relatively low-cost options, the Sage Smart Grinder (ideally the newer "Pro" BCG820 with dose timer and...

  12. 😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍
    I was quite smug with my set up before i just checked out some other setups... although im a full time student and it was the most reckless thing i could do spending £500 on a set up to drink 3 coffees a day.. So my commitment is there. Please note; the ring pull on my hopper lid means it wont...

    I've been wondering if someone who owns one of these, preferably the genuine Rancilio variety could please measure the width depth and height of the lugs on it for me. There is no official naked pf available for the Sage DB yet and it's going to be ~£60 when released so I'm trying to find an...

    Admin: This thread is to discuss the Sage White Glove Service There's been a lot of discussion on the forums about the Sage Dual Boiler: Value for money and what the White Glove Service offers, etc. so I thought I'd start this thread and post about my experience with the White Glove Service...

  17. 👋 Introductions 👋
    Hi folks, I've been lurking about the forum for a couple of weeks, and just bought the Sage dual boiler (thanks in large part to Glenn's excellent review). I wanted to say a quick hello and a big thanks to you all; there's so much fantastic info on here for a home espresso newbie such as myself...

    Well, who is going to be the first to state they have placed an order then? The machine does not interest me so much as I cannot see circumstances ever making me go away from levers, discounting old age of course and the inability to control the lever! The grinder id=s different though at that...
