Espresso machine Sage 1.9 L Bambino Plus

The Sage 1.9 L Bambino Plus is a compact, fully automatic espresso machine designed for home use, featuring a 1.9 L water tank, a 54 mm portafilter that accepts a 19 g dose, and an integrated cup reservoir suitable for preparing up to two cups. Built with a ThermoJet® heating system and a 1600 W motor, the Bambino Plus reaches extraction temperature in about 3 seconds and delivers rapid transition between brewing and steaming. The machine includes an automatic steam wand for hands-free microfoam milk texturing, digital temperature control, low-pressure pre-infusion and an auto purge function for consistent, café-style espresso extraction.

Advantages

The fast ThermoJet® heat-up time allows near-instant start-up and quick back-to-back coffee preparation. Automatic microfoam milk texturing produces consistent milk temperature and texture for latte art without manual steaming. A 54 mm portafilter calibrated for a 19 g dose promotes full flavour and stable extraction. Digital Temperature Control (PID) and low-pressure pre-infusion ensure even extraction and balanced taste. The compact footprint and black-and-silver finish fit modern kitchens while the 1.9 L water tank supports multiple drinks before refilling.

How to use

Fill the 1.9 L water tank and switch the machine on; the ThermoJet® heater reaches extraction temperature in approximately 3 seconds. Dose 19 g of freshly ground coffee into the 54 mm portafilter, tamp evenly and attach it to the group head. Start extraction to brew espresso; adjust grind size and tamping pressure to fine-tune flow and taste. For milk drinks, use the automatic steam wand—select desired milk temperature and texture settings, then allow the wand to create microfoam automatically. After steaming, the machine performs an auto purge to stabilise the temperature for the next extraction.

Usage recommendations

Use freshly roasted, properly ground coffee calibrated for a 19 g dose and a medium-fine grind to achieve balanced extraction. Clean the portafilter and steam wand regularly and descale the water circuit according to water hardness to maintain performance. Adjust milk temperature and texture settings on the steam wand to match milk type and personal preference for best results in latte art and flavour balance.
