Sage Barista Pro SES878

Overview

The Sage Barista Pro SES878 elevates the integrated grinder espresso concept with a ThermoJet heating system that achieves brew temperature in just 3 seconds — eliminating the warm-up wait entirely. The LCD touchscreen provides intuitive navigation through grind settings, shot volume, and temperature adjustments. An upgraded conical burr grinder with 30 micro-adjustable settings offers finer control than the Barista Express, particularly beneficial for dialing in lighter roasts that demand precision. The digital display shows real-time extraction pressure and volume, empowering users to correlate visual feedback with taste outcomes. Pre-infusion gradually ramps pressure for optimal puck saturation. The 54mm portafilter and commercial steam wand maintain compatibility with the broader Sage accessory ecosystem. Available across the UK, EU, and Australian markets under the Sage brand, the Barista Pro occupies the performance sweet spot in the range — faster, more precise, and more visually informative than the Express, without the premium pricing of the Touch or Oracle lines.

The Sage Barista Pro SES878 comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, 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 $799, the Sage Barista Pro SES878 is designed for serious home baristas who want café-quality espresso. 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 Barista Pro SES878 is a substantial machine, weighing in at 11.5 kg, manufactured in Australia, drawing 1680W of power. With dimensions of 310 x 380 x 400 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 2000 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
