Sage the Bambino™ Plus Espresso Machine

The Sage the Bambino™ Plus Espresso Machine has been designed to bring third wave speciality coffee into the home with compact dimensions and barista-style performance. Rich, full-flavoured espresso can be prepared using the professional-style 54mm stainless steel portafilter, which accommodates an ideal 18g dose of freshly ground coffee. Precise temperature control, optimal water pressure, and microfoam milk texturing are combined through Sage’s 4 Keys Formula to help café-style coffee drinks be prepared at home.

Fast preparation is supported by the ThermoJet® heating system, with the optimum extraction temperature being reached in just 3 seconds. Milk can be textured automatically through the hands-free steam wand, with three milk temperature settings and three texture levels being provided. Espresso extraction is started with low-pressure pre-infusion before being completed at 9 bar through a 15 bar Italian pump, while simple one-touch controls are provided for single shots, double shots, and steaming.

Key Features

• Third Wave Speciality Coffee at Home: The 4 Keys Formula is used so that the right coffee dose, precise temperature control, optimal water pressure, and true microfoam milk can be combined for barista-style results.
• ThermoJet® 3-Second Heat-Up: The optimum extraction temperature is reached in just 3 seconds, allowing coffee preparation to be started with minimal waiting. Up to 32% less energy is used annually compared with a Thermoblock heating system, based on internal benchmark testing as of November 2022.
• Auto MilQ Hands-Free Microfoam: Milk can be textured automatically using three adjustable milk temperatures and three texture levels. Silky microfoam with at least one million microbubbles per ml can be produced to enhance flavour and support latte art.
• Manual Milk Texturing Option: Hands-on milk texturing can also be performed when greater control over the milk texture is preferred.
• 54mm Stainless Steel Portafilter: A professional-style 54mm portafilter is used with an ideal 18g dose of freshly ground coffee, allowing full-bodied coffee with rich and complex flavours to be produced.
• Single & Dual Wall Filter Baskets: Both single-wall and dual-wall filter baskets are included for one-cup and two-cup preparation.
• Low-Pressure Pre-Infusion: Coffee grounds are gently saturated at low pressure before full extraction, helping balanced flavours to be developed.
• 9 Bar Espresso Extraction: Extraction is performed at 9 bar through the 15 bar Italian pump, allowing creamy, caramel-coloured espresso to be produced.
• Volumetric Shot Control: One-touch 1-cup and 2-cup volumetric controls are provided for convenient espresso preparation.
• Simple Button Interface: Dedicated controls are provided for 1 Cup, 2 Cup, and Steam functions.
• PID Temperature Control: Brewing temperature is precisely managed to support consistent espresso extraction.
• Hot Water Function: Hot water can be dispensed through the steam wand.
• Compact Design: A small footprint is provided so that strong espresso performance can be accommodated on countertops with limited space.
