Estoy encantado, pero al ser mi primera cafetera de verdad, no se si la satisfacción es por meterme en este mundo del cafe o por lo bien que va la maquina. Siguiendo estos pasos he mejorado bastante el resultado:
-No usar la tolva, pesar cada toma antes y después de moler.
-Calentar la maquina sacando dos cafes dobles sin carga.
-Usar el distribuidor de cafe, 16,6€ (aliexpres)
-Tener en cuenta que la maquina calcula la salida en un volumen concreto no en ml. Si quieres parar antes, se puede, pero tal como sale si has ajustado bien la molida, siempre me da la extracción correcta, Cuando no es por chanelling que cada vez tengo mas controlado.
-Subir 1 punto la temp del agua, si se usan cafes de tueste suave, y bajar 1 punto para tuestes mas fuertes.
Para la leche la lanza es potente, se puede cremar fácilmente.
Vaya en general cuando tienes tu rutina, es fácil sacar un cafe bueno, pero supongo que esto pasará en todas...
Os pego un post de un foro de UK que me ayudo mucho a "empezar" con la SAGE
1. Buy a sage
2. Buy some decent beans from Black cat, Rave, James Gourmet whoever,
JUST DON'T PUT SUPERMARKET BEANS IN IT!
IF YOU ONLY HAVE CRAPPY BEANS GRIND THEM A LITTLE COARSER AND USE THE PRESSURISED BASKET (OR A FRENCH PRESS!)
This is why so many people are asking why their extraction is so short.
4. The volumetric measure is WRONG!
Don't rely on it. measure it manually.
5. The grinder is inconsistent in it's grind time. Every time you change the grind setting or bean the amount you get is different. It's even different day to day with exactly the same setting! So get a set of scales.
BUY A SET OF SCALES - YOU NEED IT!
6. The grinder top burr is set for fresh coffee, medium roast (mostly)
You can adjust the grinder with the side knob, but this is only a set of steps WITHIN a set of steps.
In my experience the stock upper burr position (5?) is good for medium through to medium dark.
I have had to adjust it (down to 4) with anything lighter than that, such as a Guatemalan hard bean or weirdly a medium roast Monsooned Malabar.
This is also why your supermarket beans won't work with the standard settings, you may be able to get them to work with adjusting this burr
So if you're on number 1 on the grind setting and still getting a fast extraction you will need to adjust that burr.
But like bike gear there is crossover, so you may be able to keep it at number 4.
Can you see where this is going?
To get the sage to work optimally, both providing the right pressure and temp for a great extraction (or even a half decent one) you have to create the right amount of resistance in the puck.
Deviate from this even a small amount and the machine won't like it.
This is even more important in the new thermojet, the DTP and older models have more leeway.
Final point.
Weigh everything and ignore the pressure gauge!
Final final point
The thermocoil/jet design has small pipes so the sage is EXTREMELY prone to scale. So if your machine is more than a few months old or a refurb think scale first and use the right water in it!
Espero que sirva a futuros Sage "owners"...
