What characterizes the manual espresso machine Sage The Bambino stainless steel


Machine Expresso Sage The Bambino

Small, but effective!

Theespresso machine Sage The Bambinois designed with the Thermojet heating system unique to the Sage brand.

The Thermojet is a powerful thermoblock that heats water in a closed circuit in just 3 seconds. Of course, since the machine is equipped with a stainless steel group, you will need to wait about 2 minutes for all components in contact with the coffee to reach the optimal temperature.

The Bambino is the little sister of the Bambino Plus: more compact, but with the same quality of finish and result in the cup.

Other differences with the Bambino Plus: fewer settings, a steam wand without the Auto MilQ function and simpler maintenance.

Machine Expresso Sage Bambino utilisation

Simple and precise extraction for espresso

The Sage The Bambino usesdigital temperature controltechnology (non-adjustable built-in PID) to ensure water at the right temperature for precise extraction.

This machine operates by performing alow-pressure pre-infusion(to extract all the aromas of your coffee), followed by a9-bar extraction(the perfect pressure for making an espresso). This combination ensures great quality in the cup to enjoy your favorite coffee!

Like its big sister, The Bambino is equipped with astainless steel coffee groupfor better thermal stability, a 54 mm portafilter and pressurized filters (single or double cup) to make extractions with 18 grams of ground coffee. If you have an espresso grinder, you can also use the single filters provided (1 and 2 cups).

The Sage The Bambino hastwo backlit buttonson the front (for one or two cups).

You can easily adjust the amount of coffee desired in the cup and save your choice.

Machine Expresso Sage The Bambino vapeur

A powerful steam wand for your milk drinks

Thestainless steel steam wandis powered by the Thermojet to produce powerful pressure at a temperature of 93°C. You will obtain aperfect micro-foamfor your favorite drinks (latte, cappuccino...).

Use the milk jug (supplied with the machine) to practice and create beautiful milk foams!

On the front of the machine, you will find two buttons for using the wand: one for steam, the other for dispensing water (handy for an americano or tea).

The Bambino by Sage is a good entry-level manual espresso machine for those who want to move to ground coffee and wish to create their own milk-based drinks.

We recommend grinding your coffee to order for a tastier result.
Thanks to the pressurized filters, you can use a small entry-level grinder.

To take advantage of the single-wall filters, we advise a grinder dedicated to espresso.

The expert’s opinion
With the Bambino, Sage offers us a lovely little sturdy machine, simple to use and that will fit very easily into small spaces.

The pressurized filters allow you to get to grips with The Bambino even if you don’t yet have an espresso grinder, by using pre-ground coffee.

Of course, the in-cup result will always be better with freshly ground coffee!
