Why is my Sage Coffee Maker espresso running out too quickly?
- CChristopher HillAug 15, 2025
If the espresso runs out too quickly from your Sage Coffee Maker, and the pressure gauge isn't reaching 9 bar, it could be due to several reasons. The coffee might be ground too coarsely; try using a slightly finer grind. Alternatively, there might not be enough coffee in the filter basket; increase the dose and use the RAZOR™ dosing tool to trim off any excess after tamping. Also, ensure the coffee is tamped firmly enough, applying between 15-20kgs of pressure. If these suggestions do not help, place an EMPTY Dual Wall filter basket into the portafilter (either 1 CUP or 2 CUP), and press the MANUAL button. If the pressure gauge reads over 5 bar the machine is OK. Ensure correct dose by using the RAZOR™ dosing tool. If the dose is correct, make the grind finer.
