Back-flushing How often: daily Insert the blank cleaning disc into the single
portafilter & lock into the group head. Press the single shot button, or use
the manual button on & off to allow pressure to build up within the basket.
Follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure you’re clearing any coffee
grounds from around the rim of the portafilter/filter basket before inserting
it into the machine & pressing your espresso button. Cleaning the Shower
Screen The group head interior and shower screen should be wiped with a damp
cloth to remove any ground coffee particles. Do not use abrasive cleansers,
pads or cloths which can scratch the surface. Use a stiff brush or a cloth to
clean around the inside of the group head, dislodging any old grounds. The
water tank should never be removed or completely emptied during descaling
Cleaning The Steam Wand You should always clean the steam texturing milk.
Every now & then it is a good idea to dissolve a cleaning tablet into hot
water and soak these, along with the shower screen if you’re able to remove
it. The storage tray (located behind the drip tray) can be removed and cleaned
with a soft, damp cloth. Make sure to rinse off any cleaning solution
thoroughly before use. Run a back-flush clean. Rinse the portafilter, basket
and cleaning disc thoroughly. Ensure the drip tray is inserted, the tank is
filled with water & lock the portafilter into place. Go to ‘Settings’ and
select ‘Descale cycle’. As the steam arm cools down; any residual liquids
along the length of the arm will contract & retreat into the machine. Be
careful to keep you hands well out of the way during this process to avoid
burning yourself. If any of the holes in the filter basket become blocked, use
the pin on the end of the provided cleaning tool to unblock the hole(s). This
is a back-flushing cycle and is separate from descaling. Polish with a soft,

group head without the tablet, press the MANUAL’ button on, leave for a couple of seconds and turn it off again.

How often: When prompted Luckily for forgetful people; your Sage machine will actually let you know when it’s time for a clean. Limescale is the enemy of coffee machines, especially if you live in a hard water area. Simply follow the instructions on the screen. Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. You’ll find a complete cleaning guide for your specific Sage machine model in the manual included in the box. Even if you used the provided water filter, we recommend you to descale if there is scale build-up in the water tank. But take note of these tips & tricks to stay on top of cleaning & maintenance. So ensuring you take good care of your machine is essential for decent-tasting drinks. Wipe all traces of milk off the steam arm, and clear anything lurking inside the tubes too by purging/giving a little blast of steam. Replace & purge thoroughly.

This cycle requires the Sage Espresso Cleaning Tablets and the sage cleaning disc which are included with your machine. If you walked into a coffee shop and saw the barista dunk a milk-crusted steam arm into a fresh jug of milk you’d walk out (we really hope so, anyway) so don’t be tempted to fall into bad habits at home.

clean me’ alert. Then rinse
thoroughly. Remove the portafilter form the machine & press the MANUAL’ button. WARNING Do not immerse power cord, power plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.

Portafilters How often: After every use Each time you use the machine, finish
by rinsing the portafilter and filter basket under hot water to remove coffee
oils. Cleaning The Filter Baskets and Portafilter The filter baskets and
portafilter should be rinsed under hot water immediately after use. You can
also carry out a descale on the machine if there is evidence of scale build-up
within the tank or externally on the machine. Soak the end of the steam arm in
hot water for 20 minutes before repeating step 1 and purging thoroughly. Do
not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface Rinse
and dry thoroughly. This should dislodge any lurking coffee grounds. Every
time you use the steam arm it is immersed in hot milk so there’s absolutely NO
EXCUSES for not cleaning it after every use. The EMPTY ME! indicator can also
be removed from the drip tray by pulling upwards to release the side latches.
Periodically purge the machine. Follow the instruction in your manual for
this.
Cleaning The Drip & Storage Tray The drip tray should be removed, emptied and
cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the drip tray full indicator
is showing EMPTY ME! Remove the grill from the drip tray. Touch the ‘Hot
Water’ button and run a short flow of water to rinse out any residual coffee.

There are coffee grounds in my espresso. Sage Barista Touch Descaling Cycle
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the
inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing temperature,
power of the machine, and taste of the espresso. Once it has finished remove
the portafilter & check that the cleaning tablet has completely dissolved (If
it hasn’t, run through the cycle once more). (If this is the case you may want
to increase how frequently you change your filter). Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Steam
wand cleaning’ and follow the guide on the screen. Cleaning the drip tray Our
best advice for the drip tray is: DON’T wait for the `empty me’ sign to pop
up! By the time this happens the tray is invariably too full to make it safely
to the sink without spilling coffee-water all over the floor. Place an empty
filter basket and portafilter into the group head.
