Cleanliness is key to making sure that whichever Sage coffee machine you have works as it should and brews the best-tasting coffee. Sage makes great quality coffee machines but to keep yours in mint condition, you’ll need regular cleaning and occasional descaling. So, we’ve put together some guidance on how to clean each type of Sage coffee machine so you can get the most out of it and make cracking brews for years to come.
In this article we will cover:
Regular cleaning of the Sage Precision Brewer is essential to keep it operating correctly and maintain the quality of the brewer. A good rule of thumb is to give it a deep clean at least once every 3 months.
To properly clean and maintain your Sage Precision Brewer, follow these simple steps:
Empty out the cone filter basket after each brew by turning the left-facing handle on the bottom of the brewer to release.
Clean out the cone filter from the basket along with any remaining coffee residue.
Wipe down any residue on the outside of the brewer with a damp cloth or paper towel. This will help to keep it looking neat and clean.
Clean the cone filter basket and flat bottom basket by removing them from the brewer and rinsing with warm water or wiping down with a damp cloth. Make sure to remove any debris trapped in the filter mesh of the flat bottom basket.
To prolong the life of your brewer, descale every 6-12 months. This involves running water through the system with a descaling solution to remove mineral build up and chlorine from your water supply.
Change the filter in the water tank every two months when using hard water, or every four months when using soft water. This will improve the taste of your coffee by removing impurities from the water.
Finally, rinse the thermal carafe and lid with warm water to remove any residue or grounds that may have accumulated.
Cleaning and maintaining your Sage Bambino Plus is key to getting top performance from this versatile machine. Follow these simple steps to properly clean and maintain your espresso maker so it brews perfect shots of espresso, cappuccinos, and lattes for many years to come.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of your Sage Bambino Plus. Be sure not to get any liquid inside the machine or on any of its parts.
Remove the portafilter from the group head and soak it in a solution of warm water and a mild dishwashing liquid. Place all other removable pieces (like the filter baskets, spouts, drip tray, etc.) into your sink filled with warm soapy water and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
Once you have cleaned all components, rinse them with water and let them air-dry completely before reassembling your Sage Bambino Plus.
Descaling your Sage Bambino Plus is important to ensure optimal performance and taste of espresso. Follow the instructions in your manual for descaling your machine, or use a commercial descaler specifically designed for espresso machines.
Once all components have been cleaned and descaled, reassemble the machine and run a few shots of espresso or steam some milk to ensure that everything is working properly.
Cleaning your Sage Barista Pro is essential to properly maintain the machine. Here are some tips to help keep your Sage Barista Pro running smoothly:
To clean the group head, remove any coffee grounds that may be stuck and then use a damp cloth to wipe around it. Once it is dry, use a brush to scrub any grounds that may be stuck in the filter basket.
The portafilter should be cleaned regularly to ensure you are getting a consistent espresso pull. Use a clean damp cloth to wipe it down and follow up with an appropriate sized cleaning brush to get into the crevices and remove any stubborn grounds.
To clean your milk frother, use a damp cloth to wipe it down and then pour some backflush detergent into it. Activate the frother for about 10 seconds, making sure to keep the nozzle submerged in the basket. Then, turn off and rinse out with water until all of the detergent has been removed.
The integrated coffee grinder should be cleaned regularly so old grounds don’t build up. You can use a brush and some vacuum cleaner to clean the chute and hopper, followed by wiping down with a damp cloth.
To clean the drip tray, unscrew it from the machine and give it a thorough wash. You can also use a vacuum cleaner with a small nozzle attachment to clean out any debris that may have accumulated.
Finally, use a damp cloth to wipe down all parts of your Barista Pro such as the brew head, milk frother, and drip tray. If any areas are particularly difficult to clean, you can use a specially designed cleaning brush or milk foamer cleaner to help get into the nooks and crannies.
Keep your Sage Dynamic Duo in tip-top condition and maintain its performance with regular cleaning. While the brush heads are removable and can be washed with soap and water, the body of the machine should only be wiped down with a damp cloth to prevent damage. Here’s how:
Unplug your Sage Dynamic Duo from the wall socket and remove both brush heads.
Wipe down the body of the machine with a damp cloth, taking care not to get any water into the internal components of your Sage Dynamic Duo as this may damage them. Allow it to dry before plugging it in again.
Once the body has been wiped down, clean both brush heads with soapy water and a soft cloth. You might need to clean underneath the brush head attachment points using a cotton swab or toothpick, paying particular attention to any areas where build-up may have occurred. Make sure to rinse them thoroughly before putting them back onto the machine.
Replace the brush heads and plug your Sage Dynamic Duo back into the wall socket.
Cleaning a Sage The Oracle Espresso Machine is an important part of coffee-making. Regular cleaning will help to keep your machine in optimal working condition so you can get the best out of your coffee.
To properly clean your Sage The Oracle, you’ll need a soft brush or cloth, fresh water, and a cleaning solution.
Unplug your machine and remove the portafilter holder, filter baskets, and any other removable parts. Place them in a clean sink or bowl filled with warm water and a few drops of liquid dish soap. Let them soak for around 10 minutes before scrubbing gently with a soft brush to remove any residual coffee grounds or oils.
Disassemble the portafilter holder and clean each part separately with hot water and a soft brush or cloth. Pay special attention to the shower screen, as this is where most of the coffee oils can accumulate. Rinse all parts thoroughly and set aside to dry.
Prepare a cleaning solution using a ratio of one part water and three parts white vinegar.
Use the cleaning solution to wipe down the outside of the Sage The Oracle machine, paying special attention to any areas where coffee grounds or oils may have accumulated. Rinse with fresh water and dry with a soft cloth.
Finally, fill the machine with fresh water and turn it on. Run a full cycle of brewing to flush out any remaining residue or cleaning solution from the internal parts of your Sage The Oracle machine.
This is an important step in maintaining your machine and ensuring that it continues to produce delicious espresso.
Ideally, you should clean the water tank every three to four weeks. This is because mineral deposits can build up over time and cause issues with espresso produced by the machine.
To get started, prepare a cleaning solution consisting of one part white vinegar and two parts demineralised water. Fill the tank with this mixture and let it sit for an hour or two. After that, empty the tank and then rinse it several times using demineralised or distilled water until the vinegar smell is gone.
Finally, use a soft cloth to wipe down the inside of the tank before refilling it with fresh water.
To clean a Sage drip tray, start by unplugging your machine and removing any parts such as the water tank, bean hopper and portafilter. Once these parts have been removed, use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of your machine, paying special attention to crevices where dirt or grime may have accumulated.
Next, empty out the drip tray and rinse it thoroughly in hot, soapy water. Once it has been cleaned of all coffee grounds and residue, dry the tray with a clean cloth or paper towel before reinstalling it back into your machine.
Finally, use a can of compressed air to blow out any dust, lint or debris that may have accumulated inside the tray and the rest of your machine. This will help to ensure all parts are kept clean and prevent them from clogging up in the future.
To ensure the longevity of your coffee machine and its parts, it’s recommended to clean the tray once every two weeks. This will help you keep your machine running in optimal condition and allow you to enjoy better-tasting coffee.
Tip: Don’t forget to unplug your machine before cleaning!
Cleaning the portafilter is an important step to ensure all components are kept in top condition and are free of any build-up. To get started, you’ll need warm water, mild detergent, and a soft cloth or sponge.
Begin by soaking the filter basket in warm water for a few minutes. This will help to loosen any debris or oils that may be stuck in the filter basket. After a few minutes of soaking, use a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent to scrub away any residue from the portafilter. Once all residue has been removed, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly before reassembling the portafilter.
Keep an eye out for any build-up of oils or coffee residue on the inside of the machine itself. If you notice any, carefully remove it with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Be sure not to use anything abrasive that could scratch the surface of your Sage machine.
It is recommended that portafilters are cleaned after every use. This helps to prevent any build-up of oils and residue in the filter basket and keeps your machine running smoothly.
Cleaning the milk frother is simple and it’s important to keep it clean and free of any built-up residue. For best results, use warm water and mild detergent to rinse off the outside of the frother before wiping with a soft cloth or sponge.
To maintain smooth operation, use a soft brush or cloth to wipe down the interior of the frother tube. Be sure to remove any build-up of milk residue or debris that may be stuck on the walls.
It is also important to clean your steam wand regularly, otherwise it can become clogged and lose its effectiveness. Use warm water and mild detergent to clean the wand, wiping it down with a soft cloth or sponge.
Once you’ve finished cleaning your Sage milk frother, make sure to dry all components thoroughly before reassembling to avoid a sour, stagnant smell and mould growth. For best results, you should clean these components after every use to ensure optimal performance and keep your machine running at its best.
Descaling your Sage coffee machine is an important part of maintaining it.. Descaling will remove lime scale build up caused by hard water, allowing you to enjoy a cleaner, fresher cup of coffee. You can descale it in a few simple steps.
Descaling should take place at least every three months (or more often, depending on how frequently you use it). To descale your Sage coffee machine, follow these steps:
There are a number of additional steps to take to ensure your machine is clean and functioning properly. Firstly, make sure that all internal components are free from any build up or residue. If necessary, use a lint-free cloth dipped in warm soapy water to wipe down any parts of the machine that come into contact with coffee grounds or liquids.
Secondly, take a few minutes to check that all hoses and tubes are securely connected and that no leaks are present. Any leaking water can cause unnecessary damage to your machine and affect its performance. Finally, make sure to rinse any removable components such as the filter basket and carafe with warm soapy water.
By following this guidance for regular cleaning and occasional descaling, you can keep your Sage coffee machine running smoothly to brew delicious drinks every time. Happy brewing!
