FAQs

How often should I clean the machine?

Clean the portafilter and drip tray after each use. Perform a backflush cleaning cycle weekly and descale every 1-3 months.

What kind of water should I use?

Use filtered water to prevent scale buildup and ensure optimal performance.

How do I adjust the grind size?

Use the dial on the side of the machine to adjust the grind size. Finer grinds for espresso, coarser grinds for other brewing methods.

What is the purpose of the pre-infusion feature?

Pre-infusion gently saturates the coffee grounds before full extraction, which helps to improve flavor and crema.

How do I make microfoam?

Use the steam wand to introduce air into the milk while creating a vortex. Then, lower the steam wand tip to just below the surface of the milk to create microfoam.

What is the warranty on the Sage Barista Express Impress?

The Sage Barista Express Impress comes with a 2-year limited product guarantee.
