Barista-quality coffee made easier

The Sage Barista Touch™ Impress with Cold Extraction is designed for coffee lovers who want proper café-style coffee at home, without needing to master every manual step from day one. Combining a built-in grinder, assisted tamping, touchscreen guidance, automatic milk texturing and fast cold coffee extraction, it gives you a more confident way to make espresso, flat whites, cappuccinos, lattes, cold brew and iced coffee drinks from fresh beans.

This is a premium home espresso machine for anyone who wants more than a standard bean-to-cup machine, but does not want the learning curve of a fully manual setup. The touchscreen walks you through each stage, helping with grinding, dosing, tamping, extraction and milk, while still giving you the ability to personalise your drinks.

Now with Cold Extraction

One of the standout features of this model is Sage’s Cold Extraction technology. The machine can produce Cold Brew in under 3 minutes and Cold Espresso in under 2 minutes, opening up a wide range of iced coffee and cold café-style recipes at home.

By extracting at lower temperatures, the machine helps reduce acidic notes and create a lighter, smoother flavour profile. Whether you prefer iced lattes, cold espresso over ice, chilled americanos or cold brew-style drinks, this model gives you much more flexibility than a traditional espresso-only machine.

Impress™ Puck System for less mess and less guesswork

The Barista Touch™ Impress features Sage’s Impress™ Puck System, designed to make the grinding, dosing and tamping process easier and more consistent. The machine helps calculate the correct dose, supports assisted tamping with around 10kg of pressure, and finishes with a 7º barista-style twist for a cleaner puck.

This is especially useful if you are new to fresh bean espresso. Getting the dose and tamp right is one of the trickiest parts of making good coffee, and the Impress™ system reduces the guesswork while helping create a more consistent result.

Freshly ground coffee with Baratza precision burrs

Freshly ground beans make a huge difference to flavour, and this Sage machine includes an integrated hardened steel conical burr grinder with Baratza European precision burrs. With 30 grind settings, you can fine-tune the grind to suit your beans, taste and preferred coffee style.

The grinder doses directly into the 54mm portafilter, helping preserve freshness and aroma from bean to cup. This gives you a more authentic espresso experience than capsule machines or basic automatic coffee machines.

Auto MilQ™ hands-free milk texturing

For milk-based drinks, the Auto MilQ™ steam wand creates hands-free microfoam with settings optimised for dairy, oat, almond and soy milk. You can adjust the milk temperature from 40°C to 75°C and choose from 8 texture levels, helping you create anything from silky flat white milk to thicker cappuccino foam.

This is one of the biggest advantages of the Barista Touch™ Impress. It gives you proper textured milk without needing advanced steaming technique, making it ideal for households where different people prefer different drinks or different milk types.

Touchscreen control with café favourites

The improved touchscreen makes the machine simple to use. Swipe through the café favourites, select your drink, and follow the guided process on screen. The machine includes 8 café-style presets and allows you to customise up to 8 drinks, so you can save your preferred coffee strength, milk texture and temperature.

This makes the machine feel much more approachable than a traditional manual espresso machine, while still giving you room to experiment as your coffee confidence grows.

Fast heat-up with ThermoJet®

The ThermoJet® heating system reaches the correct extraction temperature in just 3 seconds, so you do not have to wait long before making your coffee. It is ideal for busy mornings, quick lunchtime coffees or households where the machine is used several times throughout the day.

Sage also states that the ThermoJet® system uses up to 32% less energy annually compared with a Thermoblock heating system, based on internal benchmark testing.

Designed for third wave speciality coffee at home

The Barista Touch™ Impress is built around Sage’s “4 keys” formula for third wave speciality coffee. This means using the right dose of freshly ground coffee, precise temperature control, optimal water pressure and true microfoam milk.

In practical terms, it is designed to help you make better coffee consistently at home. You get the flavour benefits of fresh beans, the control of an espresso machine, and the convenience of guided automation.

What drinks can it make?

The Sage Barista Touch™ Impress with Cold Extraction is suitable for a wide range of hot and cold drinks, including espresso, americano, flat white, latte, cappuccino, cold espresso, iced latte and cold brew-style recipes.

Because the machine allows you to adjust grind, dose, extraction, milk texture and milk temperature, it can be tailored to suit different coffee beans and personal tastes.

What’s in the box?

The machine comes supplied with a 54mm stainless steel portafilter, 480ml stainless steel milk jug, 1 and 2 cup single and dual wall filter baskets, water filter holder with filter, water hardness test strip, the Razor™ precision trimming tool, cleaning tablets, steam wand cleaning tool, cleaning disc, cleaning brush and descale powder.

Who is this machine best for?

The Barista Touch™ Impress with Cold Extraction is best suited to customers who want a premium home coffee machine that can do both hot and cold coffee well. It is a strong choice if you want fresh bean espresso, automatic milk texturing and touchscreen guidance, but still want more control and quality than a basic bean-to-cup machine.

It is particularly well suited to flat white, latte and cappuccino drinkers, iced coffee fans, and anyone who wants café-style coffee at home without needing to become a trained barista.
