BEFORE FIRST USE
Machine Preparation
Remove and discard all labels and packaging
materials attached to your espresso machine.
Ensure you have removed all parts and
accessories from the box before discarding
the packaging.
Remove the water tank located at the back of
the machine by pulling the water tank handle.
Clean parts and accessories (water tank,
portalter, lter baskets, jug) using warm water
and a gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well
then dry thoroughly.
NOTE
Machines with colour, drip tray protection guard
is included. DO NOT DISCARD.
INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER
• Remove the water lter and water lter holder
from the plastic bag.
• Soak the lter in cold water for 5 minutes.
• Rinse the lter holder with cold water.
• Set the reminder for next month of replacement.
We recommend to replace the lter after 3
months.
• Insert the lter into the two parts of the lter
holder.
• To install the assembled lter holder into the
water tank, align the base of the lter holder with
the adapter inside the water tank.Push down
to lock into place.
NOTE
Replacing the water lter every three months will
reduce the need to descale the machine. Filters
can be purchased at www.sageappliances.com
NOTE
If your water hardness is either 4 or 5 when
tested, we strongly recommend you to change
to an alternate water source. Filtered water will
extend both the life of your built-in lter and
descale intervals as well as superior taste.
Please ensure to test the water hardness of
the alternative water source you’ve chosen and
input into the machine accordingly. Avoid using
overly ltered water, like RO water unless some
mineral content is being added back to the nal
water. Never use distilled water, or water with no
or low mineral content as this will aect the taste
of coee.

10
Attaching the Hopper
• Insert the bean hopper into position on top
of the machine.
• Turn the dial to lock the hopper into place.
• Fill the hopper with fresh beans.
TIP
We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans
with a ‘Roasted On’ date stamped on the bag,
not a ‘Best Before’ or ‘Use By’ date. Coee
beans are best consumed between 5–20 days
after the ‘Roasted On’ date. Stale coee may
pour too quickly from the portalter spouts and
taste bitter and watery.
Attaching the Drip Tray
• Place the drip tray grill on top of the drip tray.
• Machines with colour, attach the drip tray
protection guard cover on the drip tray.
• Slide the drip tray into the machine.
NOTE
Using the drip tray protection guard cover
is optional. But note that using the drip tray
protection guard can protect your drip tray from
dents and scratches.
Filling the Water Tank
• Ensure the water lter is securely tted inside
the water tank.
• Use the handle at the top of the water tank
to assist in lifting the water tank and away from
the machine.
MAX
• Fill the water tank with cold potable tap water
up to the MAX marking indicated on the side
of the water tank.
• Replace the water tank back on the machine,
pressing down to ensure that it is properly
positioned and attached to the machine.
MAX
NOTE
If the water level in the water tank is below the
minimum (MIN) marking, the espresso machine
will not operate.

HOW TO CORRECT AN
UNDER OR OVER DOSE?
An under or over dose can occur when fresh
beans are added to the hopper; when coee
beans age; a dierent type of coee bean is
used or if a change is made to the grind size.
What to do when dose level is
below the ideal middle bar?
• When dose is below the ideal middle bar, the
machine will indicate and calculate ‘A Bit More’.
Tap the portalter image on screen to add a bit
more and follow screen prompts and complete
a tamp for an updated dose level reading.
• When ideal dose level is reached, the machine
will automatically update the auto dose time for
the next cycle.
What to do when dose level is above
the ideal middle bar?
• When dose is above the ideal middle bar, remove
the portalter from the cradle.
• Use the Razor Trimming Tool. (refer to Trimming
the Dose section).

A cold portalter and lter basket can
reduce the extraction temperature enough to
signicantly aect the quality of your espresso.
Always ensure the portalter and lter basket
are pre-heated with hot water from the hot water
spout before initial use.
NOTE
Always wipe the portalter and lter basket dry
before dosing with ground coee as moisture
can encourage ‘channeling’ where water by-
passes the ground coee during extraction.
FILTER BASKETS
This machine includes both single and dual
wall, 1 cup and 2 cup lter baskets.
Use the 1 cup lter basket when brewing
a single cup and the 2 cup lter baskets when
brewing 2 cups or a stronger single cup or mug.
The provided lter baskets are designed for
ground coee:
1 cup lter basket = 8-11g
2 cup lter basket = 16-19g
Single Wall Filter Baskets
1 CUP 2 CUP
Single Wall lter baskets should be used when
grinding fresh whole coee beans.
These allows you to experiment with grind and
dose to create a more balanced espresso.
Dual Wall Filter Baskets
1 CUP 2 CUP
Dual Wall lter baskets should be used when
using pre-ground coee and older beans that
are past the 30-day roast date.
These regulate the pressure and help to
optimize the extraction regardless of the grind,
dose, or freshness.
THE GRIND
Adjusting the Grind Size
The grind size will aect the rate of water ow
through the coee in the lter basket and the
avour of the espresso. When setting the grind
size, it should be ne but not too ne and
powdery.

16
To adjust the grind, rotate the grind dial to the
back of the machine to go coarser, or rotate
the dial towards the front of the machine to go
ner or slide the dot on the screen to the left for
a ner grind or to the right for a coarser grind.
The smaller the value shown on screen, the
ner the grind size. The larger the value shown
on screen, the coarser the grind size.
NOTE
• When making changes to the grind size, the new
auto dosing time will be calculated after your next
tamp and updated for the dose cycle following
that.The dose amount is calculated and stored
automatically.Two to three extractions may be
required to calibrate the extraction.
• For most bean varieties, the grinder will pause
the grind operation when coee beans ran out.
Extracting Espresso
• As a guide, the espresso will start to ow after
8-12 seconds (infusion time) and should be the
consistency of dripping honey.
• If the espresso starts to ow before 7 seconds
you have either under dosed the lter basket and/
or the grind is too coarse.This is an UNDER-
EXTRACTED shot.
• If the espresso starts to drip but doesn’t ow after
12 seconds, then you have either over dose the
lter basket and/or the grind is too ne. This is an
OVER-EXTRACTED shot.
A great espresso is about achieving the perfect
balance between sweetness, acidity, and
bitterness.
The avour of your coee will depend on many
factors, such as the type of coee beans,
degree of roast, freshness, coarseness or
neness of the grind, and the dose of ground
coee.
Experiment by adjusting these factors just one
at a time to achieve the taste of your preference.

ADJUSTING CONICAL BURRS
Some types of coee may require a wider grind range to achieve an ideal extraction or brew.
A feature of your Barista Touch™ Impress is the ability to extend this range with an adjustable upper
burr. We recommend making only one adjustment at a time.

The provided water lter helps reduce the risk
of scale build-up in and on many of the inner
functioning components. Replacing the water
lter every three months will reduce the need to
descale the machine. If you live in a hard water
area, it is recommended to change the water
lter more frequently.
• Remove the lter from the plastic bag, and soak
in a cup of water for 5 minutes.
• Rinse the lter under cold running water for
5 seconds.
• Insert the lter into the lter holder.
• Set the date dial 3 months ahead.
• To install, push down the lter to lock into place.
NOTE
For replacement of water lters contact Sage
Customer Service Centre or visit our website
at www.sageappliances.com.
CLEANING CYCLE
There will be a message prompt when
a cleaning cycle is required. This is a back-
ushing cycle and is separate from descaling.
Follow the instruction on the screen.
WARNING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral
build up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing ow, brewing
temperature, power of the machine, and taste of
the espresso.
DESCALING
Even with the provided water lter, it is
recommended to descale if there is scale build-
up in the water tank.
Go to ‘Settings’ and select ‘Descale cycle’.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTE
Ensure that the water lter is removed from the
water tank before adding the descaling powder
when descaling the machine.
• While the cleaning cycle is important for keeping
the brew head clean from coee oils; the
descaling cycle is essential to ensure that the
machine is kept clean on the inside and free from
mineral build-up.
• Do not use bottled water when descaling.Most
bottled water may contain dissolved solids that
can leave deposits inside the machine.
