Lime-free Sage = Happy Sage
When you buy a new Sage espresso machine, it comes with a neat water filter, which looks like a squeeze bottle that you clip into the bottom of your reservoir.
Super handy, because without a water filter, limescale can form in your machine.
This has a short-term effect on the taste of your coffee, and a longer-term effect on the life of your machine. Too much limescale will actually cause your boiler to struggle heating up and your brew head to get clogged.
But did you know you don’t have to order those expensive Sage water filters yourself every time?
There are good Sage coffee machine filter alternatives, like the one you’re looking at now.
