I already have a second machine, just a different colour. But I have to say, I wouldn't do it again. For the price, it's still a lowcost coffee maker, unfortunately. Compared to the original one, where the grinder went out just before the end of the warranty, this one is much noisier, it vibrates more, after brewing the coffee some relay buzzes inside for a while (which probably wouldn't bother me), but what annoys me a lot is that quite often it skips the grinding stage up or down a unit. Unfortunately, you can not complain, it happens irregularly. Furthermore, the coffee machine vibrates quite a bit which could be solved by soundproofing the pump, but what annoys me more is the whiny grinder. When the coffee is older it is really awful, fresh about 14 days after brewing is much better. I would have opted for a coffee machine without a grinder and bought a professional one on the side. In general it is a very successful coffee machine, maybe I just got lucky with a worse batch. Sage offers a 3-year warranty, but you must register the machine within 1 month of purchase, then it is no longer available. I forgot about that again.
Design
Heating up the coffee machine almost immediately
Thanks to the dispensing of hot water you don't need a kettle. Perfect for tea.
Large water container
I recommend to buy a barista scale for the exact dose of coffee grinding
Noisy grinder even with fresh coffee
Vibration
The varnish is great, but it's easily rubbed off with a mug. It's just the colour not the anodising.
The tamper has play in the lever all the way around so it's rather advisable to have a different one. I bought from Ali distributor and this one fits great

In my opinion and after a short practical experience I can declare that this is a great home coffee machine at an extremely affordable price, which I can highly recommend to every lover of good coffee.
Great price/performance ratio
Very high quality craftsmanship of the product. Pleasant dimensions and nice design.
Simple and intuitive controls with professional options for setting parameters - coarseness and amount of coffee grinding, amount of water for extraction, temperature setting.
Almost instant start (builds up to operating temperature) and pleasantly quiet operation
Rich accessories for the coffee maker - milk frothing jug, tamper, quality double lever and cleaning kit, cup sets.
After a short tuning of the parameters, the result is a really great coffee practically comparable to the coffee from a professional machine.
The head of the coffee machine and therefore also the portafilter are not tempered in the standby state of the coffee machine. Before making coffee, it is therefore necessary to warm up the head and lever by making one batch 'coffee-less'. Similarly, the cup tray on the coffee machine is not heated.
Only the double lever is included. A single lever would also be useful. Switching cups (single and double cup) is not practical and is quite difficult to do. Surprisingly, the single-track is not even available for purchase. Only the 'naked' one is available on the online stores.
