In addition to major cleanings, I recommend knocking the portafilter empty after making a coffee. It is also advisable to rinse and empty the drip tray daily, especially on hot days.

It is recommended to clean your machine with cleaning tablets, to descale with descaling powder and to replace the water filter every 2 to 3 months. View this article to clean your machine step by step.

The Sage coffee machines indicate when cleaning is necessary. Follow the steps in this article for a smooth cleaning procedure. to clean your machine step by step.

I also recommend descaling your Sage coffee machine when using a water filter. This extends the life of your machine and prevents limescale residues from entering the pipes that could clog the machine. Even with the use of a water filter, some lime always ends up in your machine.

For ultimate coffee enjoyment and a longer life of your Sage coffee machine, I recommend replacing the water filter every 2 to 3 months.

This is a common problem that can be solved very easily in 9 out of 10 times. I would recommend the following steps and check after each step if it worked:

• Completely descale the machine following the descaling cycle with Sage Descaler - it sounds like you've already taken this step! For the sake of completeness, I would recommend that you still do this step before the other steps below:


• Unscrew the tip of the steam pipe and tap it on a surface that can withstand it, usually some mess comes out.


• Pierce the holes of the tips with a needle. These tubes in the steam pipe are very narrow and become clogged very quickly with leftovers or with very light scale deposits.
