Whereas a good espresso used to be something reserved mainly for coffee shops and avid hobbyists, more and more kitchens now feature a serious espresso machine. For many home baristas, that coffee journey began with one machine: the <a href=\"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/product\/espressomachine-sage-the-barista-express\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sage Barista Express<\/a>.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sage-Barista-Express-1024x636.jpg\" alt=\"Sage Barista Express Anniversary Detail\" class=\"wp-image-56943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sage-Barista-Express-1024x636.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sage-Barista-Express-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sage-Barista-Express-768x477.jpg 768w, https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sage-Barista-Express-1536x954.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sage-Barista-Express-2048x1272.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sage-Barista-Express-600x373.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Sage Barista Express celebrates its anniversary, the brand looks back on a machine that was, for many home baristas, their first real introduction to espresso. Long before specialty coffee became mainstream, the Barista Express combined features such as an integrated coffee grinder, temperature control, and manual milk frothing into a single, relatively accessible machine. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A machine that made espresso easy to understand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The machine\u2019s strength lies primarily in that combination. You don\u2019t need to buy a separate grinder, the warm-up time is short, and users immediately get a feel for the most important aspects of <a href=\"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/blog\/hoe-zet-je-de-perfecte-espresso\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">making espresso<\/a>: grind size, brew time, extraction, and milk texture. As a result, the Barista Express has become a practical first step for many people toward making higher-quality cappuccinos and espressos.    <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:20px\"\/>\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/single-product\" data-product-id=\"35316\" data-wp-context=\"woocommerce\/products::{&quot;productId&quot;:35316,&quot;variationId&quot;:null}\" data-wp-interactive=\"woocommerce\/single-product\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-single-product woocommerce ktc-product-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/product-image\" data-is-descendent-of-single-product-block=\"true\" data-show-sale-badge=\"false\" class=\"wc-block-components-product-image wc-block-grid__product-image wc-block-components-product-image--aspect-ratio-auto wp-block-woocommerce-product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/product\/espressomachine-sage-the-barista-express\/\" data-wp-on--click=\"woocommerce\/product-collection::actions.viewProduct\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-8.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"The Barista Express\" data-testid=\"product-image\" data-image-id=\"39175\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-8.png 885w, https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-8-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-8-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-8-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><div class=\"wc-block-components-product-image__inner-container\">\n\n<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/product\/espressomachine-sage-the-barista-express\/\" target=\"_self\" >Espressomachine Sage The Barista Express<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/product-price\" data-is-descendent-of-single-product-block=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-product-price\" ><div class=\"wc-block-components-product-price wc-block-grid__product-price \" style=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>&nbsp;580,00<\/bdi><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/product-summary\" data-is-descendent-of-single-product-block=\"true\" data-summary-length=\"23\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-product-summary\"><div class=\"wc-block-components-product-summary \" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>The Barista Express van Sage is een recht toe recht aan espressomachine.

Marc Kluijver, founder of koffieTcacao, began working with the machine early on. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen we started KTC in 2012, we had the Sage Barista Express in our office pretty quickly, and we used it to make coffee for years. Its fast startup, frothing capability, and built-in grinder make it the perfect machine for getting started with espresso. My advice to people who want to get started with espresso is still the same: start with a Sage. It\u2019s the perfect introduction to everything involved in making espressos and <a href=\"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/blog\/hoedan-latte-art-schenk-hart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cappuccinos<\/a>.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Sage Appliances, the Barista Express remains one of the most recognizable machines in the home espresso segment worldwide. While the machine was once primarily innovative, nostalgia now seems to play a role as well. Just like products such as record players and analog cameras, the Barista Express has built a status that goes beyond mere functionality.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And perhaps that\u2019s exactly why this machine is still relevant. Not because making espresso at home is a new concept, but because it was with this machine that many coffee lovers first discovered how much fun it is to experiment with beans, grind size, and milk texture. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sage Barista Express is celebrating its anniversary. koffieTcacao looks back on the machine that was many home baristas\u2019 first introduction to espresso. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4733,4655,4786,4654],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advertorial","category-coffee","category-espresso","category-inspiration"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koffietcacao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
