I like my sage barista express, do feel like I am running it to its limit (grinder + portafilter (pf)/pressure) trying to achieve genuine espresso. Suspect it would give very drinkable results with the included pressurised pf. I found the milk steaming easy to get the hang of. The grinder is a bit messy grinding into the pf so a 3d printed/similar dosing funnel actually very useful. I also single dose the grinder as output weight was a bit variable, see again comment about running it close to the limit.
Very neat package, only one plug etc. I bought from Lakeland you may wish to do also as mine malfunctioned (suspect power supply tripping electrics) 1 month after the 2 yr manufacturer warranty but within the 3yr Lakeland guarantee so got replaced easily for free.
The sage stuff always seems well reviewed
