Sage Luxe Brewer Thermal

Sage's Luxe Brewer Thermal is a filter coffee machine with a double-wall thermal carafe: it measures 40.8 cm in width, 25.9 cm in depth and 17.3 cm in height. The manufacturer states that its automatic brewing meets the Specialty Coffee Association's Golden Cup standards, with digital control over temperature, flow rate and contact time during brewing.

The tank lets you brew up to 12 cups, or 1.8 litres, in a single cycle. The double-wall thermal carafe holds the temperature above 65°C for about 4 hours, an advantage over hot plates that keep cooking the coffee after brewing. The basket accepts either a cone filter or a flat-bottom filter, giving two different extraction profiles on the same machine.

The machine does not grind coffee: the manual explicitly recommends using freshly roasted beans and a separate burr grinder before each brew. Anyone looking for a single bean-to-cup solution will need to pair it with a standalone grinder.
