Overview
The Sage Bambino is the UK and European branded version of the Breville Bambino, sold under the Sage by Heston Blumenthal partnership that has made the brand a household name across Britain and the EU. Identical in specifications to its Breville counterpart, the Sage Bambino delivers a 3-second heat-up time through its innovative ThermoJet system and includes an automatic steam wand that produces microfoam at the press of a button. The compact 195mm width makes it the slimmest machine in the Sage lineup. The Sage branding adds the endorsement of Heston Blumenthal, one of Britain's most respected chefs, giving it additional credibility in the UK premium kitchen appliance market.
The Sage Bambino comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermocoil boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
Priced at $350, the Sage Bambino is designed for home baristas looking for quality without breaking the bank. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.
In terms of build quality, the Sage Bambino is a substantial machine, weighing in at 5.5 kg, manufactured in Australia, drawing 1600W of power. With dimensions of 195 x 320 x 310 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1900 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
