If you're going to spend hundreds of pounds on a coffee machine, the least you need it to do is last. That's why I'm revisiting my most-used and much-loved day-to-day coffee machine, three years after I first reviewed the Sage Barista Express Impress, to tell you everything I've learnt about it in that time.
I have the lucky job of overseeing our guides to the best coffee machines, which means I test plenty of coffee makers at the Ideal Home test centre and on loan in my home. But the one I've actually (very luckily) been able to keep hold of is Sage's flagship Express Impress, which we called 'a triumph for tidy kitchens' when we first rated it in 2022.
