AED 250 of specialty beans, included
Start with coffee that deserves the machine. Every Barista Pro comes with AED 250 of beans from the UAE roasters we work with, chosen for espresso and roasted to order, so your first weeks are spent dialling in, not shopping.
No code, no signup. The beans are roasted to order and arrive in their own delivery.
What owners say about the Barista Pro
Verified buyers only, straight from the store's review app.
Three seconds from cold, and no waiting between espresso and steam
The Barista Pro replaces the Thermocoil of the Barista Express with Sage's ThermoJet heating system. It is ready in three seconds from switch-on and moves straight from extraction to steam, so a flat white takes as long as the shot and the milk, not the machine's warm-up.
The LCD walks you through grinding, dosing and extraction with progress animations, and lets you set shot temperature and volumes.
Thirty grind settings and a screen that tells you where you are
The integrated 40 mm conical burr grinder has 30 espresso settings, nearly twice the resolution of the Barista Express, and doses hands-free into the 54 mm portafilter. Everything you change shows on the LCD rather than in a blinking light.
- 40 mm conical burr grinder, 30 espresso grind settings, 250 g locking hopper
- Grind time on the LCD, defaults of 9.5 seconds for a single and 13 seconds for a double
- 1 CUP and 2 CUP volumetric buttons, programmable, or manual override
- Low-pressure pre-infusion, then 9 bar extraction from the 15 bar Italian pump
- Adjustable shot temperature on the LCD
- Dedicated hot water outlet for long blacks and warming cups
- 360 degree swivel steam wand for manual microfoam
- Auto-off after 30 minutes
The Barista Express platform, moved on
Brushed stainless steel, a 2 L tank, a storage tray behind the drip tray and a hopper that locks for removal. The Barista Pro keeps everything that made the Express a fixture and takes the wait out of it.
Everything for the first shot is in the box
Contents as listed on Sage's UAE product page for the Barista Pro, BES878. The UAE box does not include the Dosing Funnel attachment listed on Sage UK.
Owned properly, from day one
The paperwork, the films, and the people, before and after you buy.
The official Barista Pro, backed here in the UAE
A grey-import Sage looks identical in a listing. It stops looking identical the day the ThermoJet or grinder motor needs a part. Every Sage we sell is the Gulf-spec model supplied through BRG, the authorised Sage distributor for the UAE, with genuine parts and a 2-year guarantee serviced here.
