Sage the Oracle® Touch espresso coffee maker with an automated touch screen operation simplifies how to make your favourite Velo coffee in three easy steps - grind, brew and milk. You can easily adjust the coffee strength, milk texture or temperature to suit your taste. Then save it with your own unique name.
Sage the Oracle® Touch delivers on the 4 key elements of true cafe quality coffee:
Dose Amount: The integrated conical burr grinder automatically grinds, doses and tamps 22 grams for a double shot of Velo, similar to the commercial machine in your favourite café.
Precise Water Temperature: The difference between an ashy or balanced tasting espresso can be caused by temperature change as little as 1ºC. The Oracle® Touch uses digital temperature control (PID) technology. This ensures the temperature is kept at its optimum range. The combination of dual stainless steel boilers and heated group head delivers water at the precise temperature.
Optimal Water Pressure: The Over Pressure Valve (OPV) is a commercial feature included in the Oracle® Touch. This limits the maximum pressure throughout the extraction, helping prevent bitter flavours in the coffee shot. It also has true low pressure pre-infusion, which gradually increases the pressure to gently expand the grinds for an even extraction.
Sufficient Steam Pressure: A café quality coffee is a delicate balance of espresso flavour and rich sweet milk with a micro-foam texture. The steam wand, powered by a dedicated steam boiler, automatically textures milk to your taste, delivering barista-quality silky micro-foam that enhances the flavour of coffee. Then it cleans itself!

After purchasing the Sage Barista Espresso machine it took me a minute to get the right pressure and adjusting the grind for different beans but I absolutely love it now and it's very easy to use. I would definitely recommend it!
Its a great little machine for the price, heats up quickly, easy to use and easy to clean. My one down side is that it doesn't automatically cut off. Velo were great to deal with, my order arrived next day and it was a lovely surprise to receive two free bags of coffee to get started. Thanks! Will definitely be purchasing from Velo again.
I absolutely love it. So easy use and coffee is to die for. Couldn’t believe the prompt delivery, not even 24 hrs after ordering it it was delivered. The thank you gift was also a lovely surprise. I would highly recommend dealing with this company.
Machine size - This grinder has a small footprint, which comes handy if there isn't a lot of space on the countertop.
Build - It's made mostly from plastic, with a small brushed metal plate around the button, which is a fingerprint attractor. The build is solid and it looks sturdy enough to last a good few years
Grind size - I'm mostly using it for espresso grind - it works well with standard 58mm unpressurised portafilter on Gaggia Classic. According to the grind size markings, the Espresso range is on setting 1 to 10, but there are additional 10 grind settings on the burr, which can be taken out and adjusted manually, though it's a little finicky to do. I also found that the half-steps can be used for grind settings. Overall - it doesn't look as fancy as Baratza Sette 270, but it will get the job done well. It's probably one of the best within this price range.
Grind experience - It comes with two portafilter holders for 58mm and 54(?)mm, and it should work well with most of the portafilter sizes. The holder can be removed completely so you can grind directly to the pour-over filter, or similar. The hopper can hold about 340g of coffee beans, but I'm using it as a single dose grinder with pre-weighted dose, though it does have some bean retention. When connected to the mains it tends to softly buzz, so I disconnect it at the socket when not in use.
Overall - a good starter machine at a great price point. Would definitely recommend it!
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to making coffee but I'm finding this machine pretty straight forward. The instructions are very helpful and I'm feeling quite confident in my coffee making abilities already! Delivery was super fast and they also sent some free coffee, a cloth and sweets, a really lovely surprise. A lovely company to deal with.
