Sage Barista Express Impress or Sage Barista Pro?

What actually differs between the Sage Barista Express Impress and the Sage Barista Pro, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The Barista Pro is €47.00 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a portafilter machine, so they work the same way.
  • Both have a built-in grinder, so you do not need to buy one.
  • Milk works the same on both: with a steam wand you control yourself.
  • Cleaning the milk system is the same on both: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
