About this deal

We've got this, great entry level espresso machine which punches above it's weight. We got it for 180 a few months ago from sage with voucher but this is also a very good price.
Copy and paste of description below:
The Sage Bambino does not compromise on third wave speciality coffee by delivering barista quality performance using a 54mm portafilter with 19 grams for full flavour and an automatic steam wand for true handsfree microfoam at the right temperature
AUTOMATIC MICROFOAM MILK TEXTURING: The automatic steam wand allows you to adjust the milk temperature and texture to suit your taste. Delivering Barista quality microfoam that enhances flavour and enables creation of latte art
FASTER HEAT UP TIME: Innovative thermojet heating system achieves the optimum extraction temperature in 3 seconds; Ready to make your best coffee without the wait
LOW PRESSURE PRE INFUSION: Low pressure pre infusion gradually increases pressure at the start and helps ensure all the flavours are drawn out evenly during the extraction for a balanced tasting cup
ESPRESSO MACHINE WITH PRECISE EXTRACTION: Digital temperature control (PID) delivers water at precisely the right temperature ensuring optimal Espresso extraction
SETTINGS: Control Panel; 1 or 2 Cups; Steam Button; Adjustable milk temperature and texture level
WARRANTY: 1 Year Limited Product Warranty; Power: 1560 Watts; Voltage: 110 to 120 Volts

sorted byAfter that, just be consistent with dialling in. I'd recommend 9g of coffee for a single shot or 18g double shot (big or small baskets in the box). Stick your cup on a scale, zero it, throw in beans until you get the right amount, then cup to grinder, grinder to basket, basket in the machine and coffee back to cup.
Roughly dial it finer until the coffee comes out muddy or fails to come out, then dial it back little by little until you get a good cup.
Once you have a general dial setting for a good cup, you won't be far off perfect if you switch beans so you can play around a bit at that point. Aldi / Lidl tend to carry coffee cheaper than elsewhere for experimenting. If you're happy with those, great. If not, they also have local roastery brands cheaper than most. If you're still not happy, buy direct from a roaster and drink it the same month it's roasted.
I also bought the pro grinder. And the coffee is so much nicer.
Bought one, as soon as I came back to UK and still have not found the idea coffee to go in it yet!
THE DUO TEMP PRO - BRUSHED STAINLESS STEEL £237 after discount
? Not sure if I should have just gone for this deal but seemed a better machine for not too much more and a longer/better warranty?)
At this price point, does it matter?
I make a flat white once per day with a bit of steamed milk. I use ground coffee from M&S and generally like the taste. What would I be getting that is different with something like this Sage machine? I know the Sage is vastly superior, but if I didn't want to spend another £130 on an electric coffee grinder (yet) would it still make appreciably better coffee/steamed milk etc? £170 with the code seems like a very good deal.
