All about the Sage Barista Express Impress – Tamps for you

Pull the lever on the side of the Barista Express Impress and it tamps the coffee for you: a constant 10 kg of pressure, finished with a 7° barista twist. Intelligent dosing then calculates your next dose from the last grind, so you spend less time weighing and correcting. You still pull the shot and steam the milk yourself.

Included: Easy Espresso Discovery Box and Home Barista Workshop

  • Intelligent dosing adjusts the next dose.
  • Grounds land in the portafilter, not on the counter.
  • 25 grind settings, more than the Barista Express.
  • PID and low-pressure pre-infusion.
  • Three finishes: brushed stainless steel, Black Stainless and Black Truffle, with the same technology.
  • No display or shot timer: the Barista Pro has both.

Which portafilter size does it use?
54 mm, with single and dual wall baskets for one and two cups.

What our baristas think

The Impress lever solves the messiest part of home espresso: a consistent tamp every time and no grounds on the counter, while you still pull the shot and steam the milk yourself. That makes it a good first Sage for beginners who want to learn without the frustration. The heating is the same Thermocoil as on the Barista Express, so you brew and steam one after the other. If you want a heat-up in seconds or a display, look at the Barista Pro or the Barista Touch Impress. The three finishes are technically identical.
