Questions about Sage The Barista Express Impress

We consulted the documentation provided by the manufacturer, but it does not say whether this coffee maker can reach higher temperatures than other models of the same brand.

Water filter installed ?

We have always used tap water. No problems

Yes, the heat-up time of the Sage the Barista Express Impress (CH version) is actually 1.5 minutes.

We work with daily prices, which can be influenced by various factors such as purchasing conditions, stock levels and supply and demand. It is therefore possible that different colour variations may differ in price.

The bean container is attached/connected directly to the grinder. When removing the container, any beans still inside would fall out. The container is therefore only really removed for cleaning. So if I understand the question correctly, "simply" changing the second bean in this way is not really possible spontaneously. Furthermore, different beans also require different grinds, which means you have to keep changing the grinder. The only really sensible way to use two different coffee beans is to use an additional grinder. Of course, you can brew ground coffee in this machine. You can therefore fill the portafilter with ground coffee outside and then even use the integrated tamping system before clamping the portafilter for the actual coffee brewing. In this case, you only have to make the correct dosage on your external grinder yourself. The machine can then no longer help you with the dosing. In short: No, you cannot change the bean container when it is full. Yes, you can use externally ground coffee.

Thanks for the answer! I imagine that I would use the pre-programmed amount of water for 2 cups in the morning for the crème or lungo (with a coarser grind) and the pre-programmed amount of water for 1 cup during the day for the espressos (with a finer grind). This means that I would only have to manually change the grind and the filter insert between the two types of coffee (unless I was making a double espresso). It is particularly important to me that the programmed amount of water on button 1 remains stored even if the grind level for button 2 is changed and vice versa.

Yes. We have programmed the two-key so that the quantity fits into a large cup.

According to our information, that is correct. We have nevertheless forwarded the question to the community so that someone who owns this machine can look at it again.
