@anon14766838 I’m not sure if you have another espresso machine yet but I have it on very good authority that the Sage Machines are excellent and great value for money.

A friend of a friend is the Creative Director for Caffeine magazine and he reckons they are as good or better than pretty much anything else on the market at the moment (talking about the dual boiler and the Oracle). Apparently he had the LaMarzocco home machine on trial and says there is no difference in the amount of control you have or the quality of coffee between it and the Dual Boiler , only that it looks prettier. At £3k, it’s way more than twice the price of the Sage… He also said that the grinder in the Oracle is better than anything you can buy for the difference in price between it and the Dual Boiler.

I’m poor at the moment, but one day…

Middle aged men head for the country to wear capes and drink coffee.

You have a Dual Boiler?

675

Sorry, no. I meant me and @anon14766838 chatting about them. I think he said his brother’s got one. I’d love one.
