Sage has launched a new bean-to-cup coffee machine that helps you brew 11 different hot and cold drinks (including cold brew coffee and cold espresso), lending you a guiding hand to ensure you get the best possible results.
If you've not mastered the art of using a manual espresso machine, it can be easy to over- or under-extract your coffee, spoiling the taste and wasting your expensive beans. Grinding your beans too coarsely, tamping the coffee too loosely, or using too much water pressure can cause water to flow through the grounds too fast, resulting in an under-extracted drink that tastes and feels strangely sour in your mouth. If your beans are ground too finely, the grounds are tamped down too hard, or there's not enough water pressure, your espresso will be bitter and lack depth.
