FAQs

How often should I clean the machine?

Clean the portafilter and wipe down the machine after each use. Backflush the machine regularly (weekly or bi-weekly), and descale every 1-3 months.

What kind of water should I use?

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

How do I adjust the grind size?

Use the grind size dial on the side of the machine to adjust the grind setting. Finer for espresso, coarser for drip.

How much coffee should I use?

The machine doses coffee automatically; use the portafilter to dose the coffee into the machine.

How do I make microfoam?

Submerge the steam wand tip just below the surface of the milk and introduce air until the milk doubles in volume. Then, lower the tip and swirl the milk to create a silky texture.

What is the warranty?

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

Can I use pre-ground coffee?

The machine is designed for use with whole bean coffee. You can use pre-ground coffee by using the single-wall filter basket.

Check the power connection and ensure the machine is plugged into a working outlet.

Purge the steam wand before frothing, and ensure the wand tip is clean and submerged in the milk.
