If you've just bought the Sage or Breville Barista Pro, Barista Express or Barista Touch, and you're looking for a guide to dialling in, a workflow guide specifically for these machines, here you go :-).
I have filmed a dialing in video with the Barista pro in the past, but I thought I could improve on it, so hopefully, this is a better guide and should also be helpful as a first use guide for anyone using these machines, at least for the espresso side of things.
By the way, if you're in the UK or Europe (including Ireland, Germany, France, and most other countries in mainland Europe) see: https://coffeeblog.co.uk/sage-appliances-discount-codes/
