Love espresso martinis? Good news – Sage’s best coffee machine can now make a perfect cold extracted espresso

• The top-rated Sage Barista Touch Impress now has a cold espresso mode
• It promises rich, well-rounded cold espresso for cocktails and iced lattes
• We’re testing the new machine soon to see how it compares to its rivals

The Sage Barista Touch Impress (known as the Breville Barista Touch Impress in the US and Australia) has long held a place in our guide to the best espresso machines, and now it’s even more versatile thanks to a new cold espresso mode that should be ideal for making iced lattes and coffee-based cocktails this summer (rather than a shot of hot espresso diluted by adding ice).

The Sage Barista Touch Impress with Cold Extraction has all the other features we appreciated in the original machine, which make extracting consistently good espresso as simple as possible.
