I've never used one but seen plenty reviews as I was considering one. From what I gathered... Very loud, slow to grind, easy to stall but makes a nice cup of coffee.Lagom mini?
Unfortunately, my Sage Barista Express has packed up. What started with Steam Wand issues, upon investigation - it appears my 3 way top pipe connector has rotted away and started to leak on the Solenoid (which I then successfully replaced). Unfortunately, this didn't resolve the issue. So I dug further and found that the tube that feeds the Assembly from the Solenoid was completely stuck and I wasn't able to remove it.
Happy to help if you need some photos and q&a.Anyone had any joy stripping down a barista express? Mine has a terrible leak and although this unit is a warranty replacement, Sage aren't interested in honouring a years warranty on it. If I can't fix it I'm really tempted by the Lelit units...
Some tear down photos would be great thanks, I've had the back off but quickly came to a stop as it looked almost impossible to take it any further.Happy to help if you need some photos and q&a.
Push Sage harder if its under warranty. Gave them a call?
Sure drop me a messageSome tear down photos would be great thanks, I've had the back off but quickly came to a stop as it looked almost impossible to take it any further.
I can message you my email address?
I'll give Sage one more try in the meantime.
Not yet, life has taken a turn since I posted that and I am in serious saving mode at the moment and just have to use what I have (which is decent anyway).
Ah, fair enough, no worries.
If/when I finally pull the trigger I'll report back with how I get on.![]()
