Sage Barista Touch SES880

Overview

The Sage Barista Touch SES880 introduces automatic milk texturing to the integrated grinder platform, combining the grinding and brewing capabilities of the Barista Pro with hands-free milk preparation. The color touchscreen interface allows creation and storage of up to eight personalized drink recipes — adjusting milk temperature, foam level, coffee strength, and volume for each. The ThermoJet heating system reaches temperature in 3 seconds, and the auto-steam wand heats and textures milk to your saved preferences at the touch of a button. The 30-setting conical burr grinder and precise dose control ensure consistent grounds for each shot. Digital temperature control with pre-infusion provides the extraction quality foundation. For European and UK markets where the Sage brand is sold, the Barista Touch represents the most accessible path to cafe-quality espresso drinks with automated milk — bridging the gap between manual semi-automatics and fully automatic machines while retaining the ritual of grinding, dosing, and tamping that coffee enthusiasts enjoy.

The Sage Barista Touch SES880 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 $999, the Sage Barista Touch SES880 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 Touch SES880 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.
