All about the Sage Barista Express Neo – Smooth Shot

The Barista Express Neo is the new generation of the Barista Express. It still grinds your beans fresh into the 54 mm portafilter and you still tamp, pull the shot and steam the milk yourself. What's new is the help along the way: the grinder weighs your dose, Smooth Shot corrects a shot that runs too fast, and the display tells you whether to grind finer or coarser next time.

Included: Easy Espresso Discovery Box and Home Barista Workshop

Easy Espresso Discovery Box

Home Barista Workshop at OR Academy

Use the coffees in the Easy Espresso Discovery Box to dial in your Barista Express Neo, and practice your technique at the Home Barista Workshop.

Includes a place in a Home Barista Workshop, a group session at OR Academy. You pick the date and location: see the workshop calendar.

Pros and cons

Smooth Shot corrects a shot that runs too fast.
Grind by weight for a consistent dose.
Grind size advice on the display after every shot.
Cold brew and iced drinks in under three minutes.
30 grind settings, more than the Barista Express and Express Impress.
Cool Touch steam wand is easier to clean.
You still tamp by hand: the Barista Express Impress tamps for you.

Key features

Smooth Shot with Auto Flow Control
When the espresso runs too fast, the machine slows the flow itself to keep the extraction between 25 and 35 seconds.

Acaia Grind by Weight
The grinder weighs the coffee while grinding, so every shot starts with the same dose.

Grind Size Guidance
After every shot the display tells you whether to adjust the grind. Handy when you open a new bag of coffee.

Cold brew
A first in the Barista Series: cold brew or an iced latte in under three minutes.

Cool Touch steam wand
Insulated, so the outside stays cooler and milk residue wipes off easily, with the same control for silky microfoam.

Conical burr grinder, 30 settings
Grinds straight into the 54 mm portafilter, with a new drinks dial for simple operation.

What our baristas think

The Neo tackles what beginners struggle with most on the Barista Express: the right dose and the right grind. Grind by weight takes care of the dose, Smooth Shot rescues a shot that runs too fast, and the grind advice tells you which way to go. You still do the barista work yourself, so you keep learning. With 30 grind settings there is also more room for lighter roasts than on the classic Barista Express. If you mainly want help with tamping, the Barista Express Impress remains the alternative.
