Hi guys, 1st post so go easy. Found this little bargain (in black colour only) for under £400 using promo code from Kev's blog. Imo, this is better value than purchasing the sage burr grinder and bambino separately!

Am I missing something? (edited)
But other than the wand, what is the biggest improvement on this over the bean to cup please? (edited)
The downside with this Sage machine is that there's a lot of things you will probably need, techniques to learn, etc to get a good shot and consistently so. You kinda need to get speciality beans to get a good consistent extraction with a good crema, it really needs beans roasted within a 2 week to 2 month date so most supermarket sold beans won't be good (a few brands do have 'roasted on' dates, like Union, but otherwise you're buying from local or online coffee speciality stores). You can use cheaper supermarket beans ofc but expect to waste a few shots, poor cremas, bitter tastes, etc. You also ideally need to buy a bunch of tools to assist with proper puck prep (WDT tool, funnel, filter, scales, probably a better spring loaded tamper, etc). And then this machine kinda sits in an awkward spot because whilst it's decent overall it's got some weaknesses that mean if you're going down this route of a machine that really wants top quality beans then you really want to be getting better equipment. Like the grinder is poor, the milk wand is OK but it only has one hole and can be frustrating sometimes as the frothing isn't consistent, the extraction is decent but you can get better. As an entry level or new to this coffee experience machine it's great value, but it's nowhere near perfect.
I was thinking of replacing my ageing machine...
So pulled the trigger! (edited)
