Accessories and Add-ons for Coffee Machines
Decisions do not stop here! There are loads of accessories and add ons that you can add to your coffee machine to enhance the overall experience and even maintain your machine. Find some of the top picks from our webshop here:
-
Sage Espresso Cleaner: Compatible with all the coffee machines mentioned above. The pack comes with 8 cleaning tablets and helps keep your machine clean and espresso tasting fresh and maintaining its taste.
-
Sage Water Filters: The grinding plates can become scaled, causing damage to the machine if you don't commit to simply replacing your filter at regular intervals. Filtered water will reduce the need for time-consuming maintenance and prevent costly breakdowns and specialist repairs.
-
Sage Crema Pro Tamper: A good tamper creates resistance (with evenly compacted coffee) that makes the brewing water work hard to saturate the grounds and extract all of that great coffee flavour!
-
Sage Steam Wand Cleaner: The steam cleaner powder keeps the steam wand clean from milk residue and ensures that the espresso maker produces perfect milk foam for your cappuccinos.
When choosing the perfect coffee machine for your home, take the time to consider how your choice fits into your daily routine and personal taste preferences. With the right machine, you can enjoy barista-quality coffee right from the comfort of your kitchen. Happy brewing!
