The Sage Barista Express Impress brings the simplicity of manual espresso to your kitchen with the precision of an integrated assist. The revolutionary Impress™ Puck System grinds, doses and tamps with 10 kg of force and a 7° barista twist for a perfectly polished puck — every time, no skill required.

The integrated conical burr grinder with 25 grind settings dispenses the right dose into the 54mm commercial-style portafilter. Sage's PID-controlled thermocoil heating system delivers stable extraction temperature, while the powerful manual steam wand textures silky microfoam milk by hand for cappuccinos, flat whites and latte art.

Each Sage Barista Express Impress comes with a complimentary gift: three 250g bags of Kiss the Hippo specialty espresso coffee (George Street Blend, Donna, and Fruitopia), curated to help you explore your machine's full flavour range.

Nicholas D. ★★★★★

I was honestly worried about dialing in shots, but the Impress Puck System nails the grind, dose, and tamp every single time. Pulled a thick, syrupy double shot on my first morning with it, and the milk texture is silky-smooth.

Kevin L. ★★★★★

The assisted tamping takes the guesswork out of dialing in—my first shot came out balanced instead of bitter, and the grinder really does deliver a consistent dose every time. It’s pricier, but for someone like me who used to struggle with pucks, it’s totally worth it.

James ★★★★★

I was skeptical the assisted puck system would actually make a difference, but the consistent, perfectly-leveled doses every single time have completely changed my morning routine. Even my first few shots pulled with that nice, steady crema I used to only get at cafes, and cleanup is way less messy
