Product Information

All Nespresso products except for the bottom end have great care and thought invested in the design of the product to ensure that their coffee machines are not something that you want to hide away in the corner of the kitchen but instead want to show off and have as the pride of place on the worktop The selection of around 25 different types will ensure that whatever your taste you will find something to suit. The Sage The Barista Pro SES878BSS coffee machine isn't cheap but it is worth the investment. Find out more below.

Producing your coffee is controlled by a digital display which sits on top of the coffee machine. One dial does everything. This machine is certainly an investment, but if you’re a coffee aficionado, we think it’s worth the price. You can make excellent espresso plus delicious lattes and cappuccinos with this model, and it gives you plenty of options regarding the brew. Also available with slightly fewer milk options is the Sage Nespresso Creatista which is champagne-coloured with stainless steel accents. You simply twist the dial to select the drink of your choice and then press down on the knob which moves you to the next element. There are 3 elements to producing a coffee with this Nespresso machine (or two if you don’t want milk)The key to a great espresso is even extraction that starts with low pressure pre-infusion, according to Sage, so that’s what this machine does. You can control the volume of espresso shots manually, if you prefer. Handily, it’ll tell you when it needs cleaning. Altogether a fantastic coffee machine which provides great coffee and impossible to beat for convenience. Smart CleaningThe Creatista Pro comes with a water hardness testing strip inside the instruction manual. This helps the machine identify the type of water in your area, and work out the optimum interval time between descale programmes. The Creatista Pro will also turn itself off automatically after 10 minutes to save power. If that’s not smart enough, the drip tray will also tell you when it needs emptying.

Those who shopped for this machine at John Lewis gave it five out of five stars. Happy customers said, ‘We just can’t go to high street coffee shops anymore as we always get disappointed with the taste.’ It was also celebrated as ‘a real pleasure to use’. This model provides the ultimate in convenience. With a 3 second heat up time there is no waiting around for the machine to be ready once you turn it on. By the time you have reached for the capsule and inserted it into the machine you are good to go. There are dozens of coffee capsule machines on the market, and although I’m sure each one has its own merits, it’s rare to find a coffee maker that combines ease of use, elegant design and reliable performance all into one machine. Sage has handily accomplished this feat with the Nespresso Creatista Plus, so if you’re in the market for a high quality premium coffee maker, be sure to put this one on your short list. Where to buy? Congratulations coffee lovers, Nespresso and Sage have got together and arranged a marriage between Nespresso’s easy-to-use coffee pod system and Sage’s down-to-earth design skills, to create a coffee making machine that’s sure to please anyone who enjoys their coffee to the max. Thirdly, you can choose the exact temperature of the milk which suits you best by selecting from one of 11 temperature settings and also the amount of froth you desire. Again, very easy. Make sure you place the milk jug on the temperature sensor so it knows when to stop at just the right time.

The milk frothing feature does have a bit of a learning curve, so you will probably have to fiddle around with the settings a few times before you get it where you want it to be. It’s certainly not a big coffee machine but the depth is greater than the average so make sure that your kitchen worktop can accommodate it Functionality 10/10 Nespresso are marketing experts when it comes to creating an experience which makes you fall in love with their products. There are only a handful of products in a large space and all of them make the same quality of coffee but you feel as though you are transported into an Italian coffee shop with surroundings that inspire you to buy something This POD coffee machine has been designed and manufactured by Sage who have their own line of top-end Espresso machines

With its own custom-made jug for milk frothing under the steam arm, The Creatista Plus will auto froth your milk to one of eight micro-foam texture levels and you have a choice of 11 temperature settings from warm to very hot, so every brew will have the perfect finish whether you’ve opted for a flat white or latte macchiato. With so many variations to select, we think you’ll soon be having a go at intricate designs, just like the artistic baristas in upmarket café bars. This model has a fully automatic steam wand and a whopping eight texture levels and 11 temperatures for the milk. Auto purge of the wand means less cleaning for you to do. It depends on the hardness of your water and how much coffee you make. Don’t worry, the machine will alert you when it is time to descale.Be aware though that they don’t come cheap and the cost of a Nespresso coffee will be at least double what you would pay for an alternative method of making your coffee with freshly ground coffee beans. Prefer the fuss-free process of making coffee from a capsule, but want a sophisticated take on this style of machine? This model is that. We also like how easy it is to get started with, and that it makes a great range of coffees, while foaming milk is also simple. This is simply a stunning looking appliance which exudes class and has a wow factor about it. Full marks here. This is a neat and handsome number that’ll save you costly trips to a high-street coffee shop. It’ll brew two cups in one go and just 25 seconds, so it’s as speedy as a capsule machine. The downside for coffee connoisseurs? It can’t grind your beans, but you could go for a separate grinder to take this on.

They rate their coffee so highly that they have named it “grand cru” which is the name given to fine wines If you have ever been to one of their boutique retail outlets you kind of the coffee version of an Apple store. Nespresso also throw in a stainless steel milk jug which shows maximum and minimum milk levels to be used. Ease of use 10/10

To ensure that milk heated in the stainless steel jug will never go past the prescribed temperature, there are temperature sensors built in to the drip tray so you never need to worry about scalded milk affecting the taste and the steam arm auto purges to clean itself once it’s returned to the upright position.
