Sage presents new models of coffee machines

Sage specialist in lever coffee machines, especially those with an integrated grinder, has launched several new products on the market in recent months. The key one is the new Barista Express Impress coffee machine model, but new practical accessories have also been added.

SES876 – Barista Express Impress
An integrated tamper located directly under the grinder takes care of optimal coffee compression and extraction pressure. After grinding, the coffee is simply pushed into the lever using the mechanical controller on the side of the device. So you don’t have to remove the lever from the grinder, and tamping takes place directly in the handle below it. The indicator of the correct pressure of the ground coffee will then display the ideal value of the compression force

SA503 – The Puck Sucker
It creates a negative pressure on the coffee grounds in the lever, thus simply removing them. No more laborious tapping and no more mess. Compatible with BES920, SES980 and SES990 models. The container is made of Tritan and is dishwasher safe.

SEA201 – The Dosing Funnel
Prevent spilled coffee when tamping with the Dosing Funnel attachment. Compatible with BES875, SES878 and SES880 models. Made of BPA-free material that is dishwasher safe.



Other coffee machines Sage
SES990 – The Orachle Touch
The automated operation on the touch screen simplifies the way to make your favorite coffee in three simple steps – grinding and tempering the coffee, brewing the coffee and preparing the milk. You can easily adjust the strength of the coffee, the texture of the milk or the temperature according to your taste. Then you can save the settings the way you like them best under your own name. You can create up to 8 personal settings for your coffee. We put a barista in our Sage machine.

SCG600 – The Dose Control Pro
The electric grinder takes care of the right amount of freshly ground coffee directly into the attachment for the 50mm, 54mm and 58mm lever. It offers 60 different coarseness settings according to the type of coffee being prepared and is equipped with a stainless steel conical grinding stone, which reduces the temperature during grinding and thus protects the oil component of the coffee beans from damage. A practical container for 340 g of coffee with a unique internal locking system ensures easy portability, and the airtight lid allows the maximum freshness of the coffee beans to be preserved

BES875 – The Barista Express

The espresso machine with a built-in coffee grinder with stainless steel grinding stones allows you to grind the required amount of coffee directly into the holder with the possibility of adjusting the coarseness. The electronic PID system ensures the stability of the water temperature during the entire process. The low-pressure pre-brewing system ensures a gradual increase in pressure, which spreads evenly over the surface of the coffee in the filter.

LG partner in Saudi Arabia

Shaker and LG Expand Long-Term PartnershikAl Hassan Ghazi Ibrahim Shaker Co. (“Shaker”, the “Group” or the “Company”), Saudi Arabia’s leading importer, manufacturer, and distributor of Air Conditioners and Home Appliances, has expanded its long-term strategic partnership with LG Electronics (“LG”) through a new supply agreement that will include home appliance and home entertainment products – namely televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, microwave ovens and more – for the Saudi market

LG QuadWash dishwasher leverages state of the art steam technology

LG Electronics (LG) is looking to set new standards for dishwashers with its latest LG QuadWash Steam, equipped with the company’s exclusive TrueSteam technology.
According to the brand, its new dishwasher is “revolutionary”, and sets itself apart from the competition with steam technology that promises to not only clean more effectively, but also more efficiently. LG says the dishwasher’s host of unique performance-enhancing technologies “offer a game-changing way to wash dishes”.

How the technology works
TrueSteam emits high temperature steam consisting of tiny particles to clean everything from delicate stemware to steel pots and pans, easily separating stains and leftovers from dishes, LG says. And, the technology is said to soak and loosen tough caked-on food before the main washing cycle.

By spraying steam at the end of a cycle, the LG QuadWash Steam dishwasher reduces undesirable water spots – one of the most common complaints of dishwasher users – by up to 30%, LG claims.

As well as promising impeccable results in cleaning, LG believes it also offers similar results where hygiene is concerned, while hot and pure steam particles from boiling water ensure that all dishes undergo thorough hygienic cleaning.

Another core technology of the dishwasher, QuadWash features four spray arms instead of the two which is more common in other dishwashers.

The multi-motion arms sweep and rotate back and forth while spinning in both directions to clean plates, glassware, and cookware of all shapes and sizes from nearly every angle. Thanks to multi-directional water streams shot by the spinning attachments, LG says its dishwasher offers a more thorough clean.

The dishwasher is powered by the Inverter Direct Drive Motor, which is designed to boost energy efficiency and reduce noise. The motor also adjusts water intensity to allow the soft settings necessary for fragile dishware in the upper rack and a stronger setting for pots and pans in the lower level. This versatility offers more effective cleaning without damaging the dishware, LG says.

In addition, the EasyRack Plus system promises “outstanding” flexibility and convenience, adjusting to just about any load of dishes, even long-stem wine glasses, LG notes. With one touch, the upper rack’s height is adjustable to three levels.

Finally, LG ThinQ technology has elevated the functionality of a dishwasher to ease daily life for consumers. With the handy LG ThinQ app, users can start or stop the dishwasher from anywhere, monitor cycle time and even get an alert when the dishes are clean to have the kids unload the dishwasher before they get home. QuadWash Steam dishwasher offers nine pre-set wash cycles selectable from the app.

Song Dae-hyun, president of LG Electronics and Home Appliance & Air Solution Company, commented: “LG QuadWash Steam dishwasher offers everything consumers expect from an LG appliance: convenience, flexibility and especially performance. Steam technology offers the perfect balance of superior performance with gentle care, and this kind of innovation has practical and convenience-boosting purpose that customers expect from LG.”

There is a range of five models to choose from available in both freestanding, in silver and black, and integrated; these include the DF222FPS, DF325FPS, DF455HMS, DB325TXS and DB425TXS.

Retailers in the UK will include LG and John Lewis initially, and then Curry’s, AO, Marks Electrical, and Appliance City too. Availability in Europe and the rest of the world is not yet known.

January 2023 Liebherr will launch the first vacuum perlite refrigerator: BluRoX

Liebher is revolutionising technology in its fridges and freezers, using a vacuum in conjunction with finely ground lava stone, the raw material perlite, to insulate its appliances. The first vacuum perlite models, named BluRoX, will be on the market as early as January 2023. For the very first time, it is possible to produce freezers with the energy efficiency class “A” and “B” in accordance with EU legislation thanks to the innovative technology.

Until now, refrigerators and freezers have been insulated with conventional insulating materials made from petroleum-based polyurethane foam. Instead of these common foam elements, and in a world’s first, BluRoX uses a vacuum in combination with finely ground perlite for insulation.

Due to its crystalline microstructure, the lava stone perlite has a very low thermal conductivity, and the vacuum provides the best possible insulation in terms of energy. As Steffen Nagel, managing director sales & marketing at Liebherr-Hausgeräte explains, «for a family with a 350-litre freezer, the annual power consumption for the appliance could be reduced by up to 20 per cent – This translates into notable savings with steadily rising electricity prices.»

Moreover, the new combination of a vacuum and finely ground lava stone enables a very compact design. Due to the particularly effective BluRoX insulation, Liebherr can design the walls of a BluRoX freezer to be about one third thinner than the walls of a conventional foam-insulated appliance. For an appliance fully equipped with vacuum perlite technology, the result is about 25 percent greater capacity compared to fridges and freezers with the same external dimensions. The FNb 5056 freezer will be the first hybrid model whose door is equipped with BluRoX technology
