At a glance

The Sage Duo-Temp Pro is a compact, hands-on espresso machine for ground coffee, with a 15 bar pump, a PID-controlled Thermocoil heater, a 54 mm portafilter and a manual steam wand. Owners praise its espresso, simple dial operation, solid stainless steel build and capable steam wand, and some report years of reliable daily use. It is deliberately basic. There is no grinder, no automatic shot stop and no low-water warning, and you can't brew and steam at once, so good results take practice and ideally a quality grinder. Recurring complaints are espresso that is not hot enough for some, a small tank, a drip tray that fills quickly and noise. It suits people learning manual espresso on a budget, not those who want push-button convenience. It is a 2014 design that several big UK retailers no longer stock, and no independent long-term reliability data was available.

Strengths

  • Owners widely praise the espresso, helped by PID temperature control, a 15 bar pump and low-pressure pre-infusion.
  • Simple, single-dial operation that many owners find easy to use and clean.
  • Solid brushed stainless steel build that reviewers like on the worktop.
Show all (6)
  • The manual steam wand makes good milk for lattes and flat whites, according to many owners.
  • Well equipped out of the box, with pressurised and non-pressurised baskets, a milk jug, a dose trimming tool, a magnetic tamper and a water filter.
  • Some owners report many years of trouble-free daily use. It comes with a 2-year guarantee.

Things to consider

  • No grinder and no automatic shot stop. Good results take practice, ideally with a separate quality grinder.
  • Some owners find the espresso not hot enough.
  • The small rear tank has no low-water warning, and the drip tray fills quickly from purge water or can leak.
Show all (6)
  • Noisy pump and steaming. A minority find the steam wand slow or weak.
  • A few buyers could not get good shots, reporting watery espresso or little crema, and returned it.
  • Older design with patchy UK availability. Several major retailers no longer stock it.
Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Good for

  • Beginners who want to learn manual espresso and milk texturing, and are willing to practise and pair it with a grinder.
  • Buyers who value a simple, sturdy machine with few features over automation.

May not suit

  • Anyone wanting one-touch, bean-to-cup convenience or automatic milk.
  • Households making many milk drinks back to back, since you can't brew and steam at once and the tank and drip tray are small.

Go to the original reviews

Owners mostly praise the Duo-Temp Pro for rich, café-style espresso, simple dial operation and a solid, good-looking stainless steel build. Many say the steam wand makes good milk for lattes and flat whites. Some owners report years of daily use without problems. The main caveat is that it is a hands-on machine: good shots take practice, and many recommend a decent separate grinder. Some buyers wanted more automation, such as an automatic shot stop or brewing and steaming at once. Recurring complaints are espresso that is not hot enough, a small rear tank with no low-water warning, a drip tray that fills quickly or leaks, and noise. A minority find the steam wand weak or noisy, struggle with weak or watery shots, or find the portafilter very tight. Reviewers often call it good value when discounted.

  1. S*** c*** 4/5 12 June 2026 John Lewis

    It is a good machine but you will need to buy a good grinder to make the machine work to its full capabilities You also will have to put in some effort to learn expresso making.

  2. S*** 1/5 1 June 2026 John Lewis

    Not up to the task: … this particular model has proven unsuccessful and quite frankly, useless. … My model does not have enough pressure to handle the job. Does not produce a decent crema, nor enough volume. There are better models available.

  3. i*** 5/5 7 May 2026 John Lewis

    Still nice and capable machine, even after 10 years: … PROS: Nice-looking machine … Good size … Excellent results for espresso, milk steaming, and hot water for americanos. CONS: It would be nice to have a programmable button for automatic volume control … I would prefer a non-burning steam wand…

  4. B*** 5/5 2 May 2026 John Lewis

    Recently purchased during a price reduction. My First Sage machine and I think it is outstanding value for money … For less than 400 pounds this machine really delivers hot water and delicious coffee.

  5. G*** 4/5 23 March 2026 John Lewis

    Great coffee but needs effort: … It takes lots of practice to get a good coffee, especially a Flat white. … there is no warning when water is low & the tank is at back of the machine … the frother has become extremely noisy … I wish I had bought a more expensive model that grinds…

  6. T*** 3/5 8 December 2025 John Lewis

    Sadly, a little underwhelmed with this model. Nothing wrong with the coffee it makes, but its level of basic is a little too extreme. No low water level cut out, so easy to run the pump dry … a small water capacity and need for a separate grinder … Regretting my decision to not get the touch

  7. S*** E*** 3/5 23 July 2025 John Lewis API page 2

    Machine is ok. Good: Speed, stylish and easy to use. Poor: coffee is not hot enough

  8. K*** 5/5 19 March 2025 John Lewis API page 2

    Very good!: … This consistently produces a great cup of espresso. It feels a solid product and a good design. I welcome choosing how much water to put in each cup … It has a two year guarantee … The John Lewis price is good. This is my first week of use but so far I am pleased with what I purchased.

  9. S*** E*** 2/5 3 February 2025 John Lewis API page 2

    Not great, item returned: … Espresso temperature was not hot enough, shots were consistently luke warm. … The drip tray was a nightmare and would leak everywhere … I really didn't like the smaller 54mm portafilter … The steam wand took ages to heat milk … significantly less robust than my Gaggia.

  10. M*** 1/5 9 January 2024 John Lewis API page 5

    Noisy and not user friendly: … a coffee machine that sounds like an old airplane winding up for take off and is so sensitive to how much coffee and tamping you do and has portafilters that bust your finger nails trying to change them …no thanks! Returned it same day.

  11. b*** 5/5 27 June 2026 Amazon

    Brilliant machine ,this is my third coffee machine each one was a stage better ,this one is the best i have had upto now ,it makes great tasting coffee and i can taste the coffee beans with this one ,i have used all the three baskets that come with it and found the double cup basket with the smaller holes in give me best results and crema… can recommend

  12. A*** S*** P*** 5/5 12 January 2025 Amazon

    I've had this coming up to 7 years now, and it's been used daily… It's never let me done once, never broken, needed repairs or replacement parts. I live in a soft water area so that's helped I think… It's incredibly easy to use, is ready to go after 30 seconds from flushing the head, has a PID so guaranteed temperature, is pretty rudimentary in a good way so little to go wrong.

  13. M*** H*** 5/5 1 June 2021 Amazon

    There's a water filter in the water container. This needs replacing every three months and so is an ongoing additional expense. The handle on the water container is a pain… It is also flimsy, uncomfortable, and looks like it would break at the drop of a hat… You have to brew coffee and then steam your milk. You can't do both simultaneously… I think the Sage Dup Temp Pro is a good place to start with home espresso…

  14. T*** F*** 5/5 19 May 2020 Amazon

    This machine is incredible… This machine is much cheaper than some of the top of the range ones but makes coffee to the same level if you know what your doing… If you want to froth milk it does a cracking job… I have had one of these for over two years along with the grinder… this one is worth the price and then some!

  15. A*** P*** 5/5 19 June 2018 Amazon

    It is not a cheap machine but you can see where the money has been spent… A word of caution - the cool down puts a fair bit of water into the drip tray… The steam wand works very well, but… you don't get steam immediately… Financially, the Sage doesn't make much sense at all because you can get decent results… with the cheaper machine… The only question is will it last? The 2 year warranty is encouraging…

  16. L*** 4/5 9 January 2018 Amazon

    …it is a heavy well constructed stainless steel… The steam wand heats the milk very quickly, roughly 20 seconds from milk to froth… Cons: Cup warmer isn't great. Although I admit you are getting a great quality machine, I find the price a bit steep. (£262.20 at the time of this review) … I have no problem recommending it to others

  17. S*** 5/5 1 January 2025 Currys

    Aesthetically pleasing machine which makes beautiful tasting coffee. Sits on our worktop perfectly. Very easy to use without a fuss. Exactly what we'd been searching for at a comfortable price. Would highly recommended.

  18. P*** 5/5 7 February 2024 Currys

    Great machine. Intuitive to use and sturdy. Awesome selection of accessories in the box to get you started (even cleaning supplies and a filtering cartridge). Very happy with my purchase.

  19. M*** 5/5 8 August 2023 Currys

    Good Points: Gives great tasting coffee with great crema. Improvement Points: Bit chunky and loud, but minor points when the coffee is good

  20. N*** 4/5 30 December 2022 Currys

    Good Points: Very well made. Improvement Points: Some water leaks from below the storage tank

  21. Y*** 4/5 2 September 2022 Currys

    Good Points: Good machine, very high quality and produces great coffee. Improvement Points: I wasn't aware when purchasing that there's no automatic stop button on the machine so you have to stop the coffee manually. … can ruin coffee if go overboard

  22. R*** 1/5 22 December 2021 Currys

    Improvement Points: Does not heat water to correct temp - or at least to a warm temp

  23. E*** 3/5 7 December 2021 Currys

    Good Points: Looks stunning, East to use. Improvement Points: Poor quality of coffee, liquid that comes out us but espresso, it is very watery, more like americano style

  24. B*** 5/5 28 January 2021 Currys

    Good Points: Great machine, perfect temperature from the first cup. Very easy to use, quick to heat up and easy to clean. … Great purchase.

  25. T*** C*** 1/5 16 February 2017 Currys

    Good Points: This looked fab in my kitchen. It is a big attractive coffee machine with a super metal milk jug. Improvement Points: Sadly its good looks were its only good point as the frother did not froth and the coffee was weak. It was also extremely fiddly to set up. So I am afraid it went back and I could not recommend it.

Sage (Breville) Duo Temp Pro Review, Finally! Any Good in 2023?

The Sage Duo Temp Pro is a competent, entry-level manual espresso machine featuring low-pressure pre-infusion, a PID temperature feedback loop, and a generous 1.8-litre water tank. With fully manual shot pulling via a simple dial, it gives users precise control over yield and ratio, distinguishing it from automated models like the Bambino Plus. It delivers impressive steam performance and solid build quality, making it very competitive at its price point when paired with a good grinder.

REVIEW: Sage Duo Temp Pro & Dose Control Pro

The Sage Duo-Temp Pro is a well-built, semi-automatic espresso machine that delivers cafe-quality espresso and milk texturing at a reasonable price point. While its single boiler requires a short delay between brewing and steaming and operation is fully manual, it offers features such as PID temperature control and pre-infusion that make it an excellent choice for aspiring home baristas.

YouTube · Review

THE BEST COFFEE MACHINE FOR HOME USE *Sage Duo Temp Pro*

The Sage Duo-Temp Pro makes really good coffee that far outperforms standard home machines and approaches coffee shop quality. It features sturdy, heavy-duty build quality and practical capabilities like dual heating and a hot water dispenser. For under £250 second-hand, the presenters find it remarkably good value.
